root dir location

Where should the root dir (for templates) be? I thought it was at the
same level as lib, script, and t.

I'm finding that when i create a view with:

myapp_create.pl view MyView TT

...the INCLUDE_PATH isn't setup, and i have to manually add:

INCLUDE_PATH => Myapp->path_to(qw/.. .. root/),

At a guess, you deleted your Makefile.PL?

Yes :O

I didn't really want to bother with make on my webapp, so deleted that
along with Changes and README.

Cheers t0m,

Ben

Yeah, that'd get you.

The lines in the generated Makefile.PL which say:

# IMPORTANT: if you delete this file your app will not work as
# expected. You have been warned.

Are, actually, not lies.

Catalyst uses the presence of a Makefile.PL to work out if your
application has actually been installed, or if it is just running from a
checkout.

I totally see the 'I will never install' point of make being unneeded,
but I personally like the possibility that I may one day run my apps
somewhere other than my laptop (or, maybe I'll even buy a less crappy
laptop). So keeping the dependencies in Makefile.PL up to date is a very
worthwhile exercise; you can then just copy your app to another machine
and say 'make installdeps', rather than suffer half an hour's
frustration trying to start your app and failing.

Cheers
t0m
