I am using Catalyst::Plugin::AutoCRUD and am generating a DBIx schema using the instructions provided in the linked CPAN page. Specifically, I copy/pasted the command listed there and changed only the details relevant to my database ('pg' => 'mysql', different username/pw, etc).
I now have a schema DBIC::Database::foo::Schema. Schema is both a file containing *.pm's for each table in my DB and also it's own Schema.pm.
My config file contains the following entry:
<Model::AutoCRUD::DBIC>
schema_class Database::foo::Schema
connect_info dbi:mysql:dbname=foo
connect_info user
connect_info pass
<connect_info>
AutoCommit 1
</connect_info>
</Model::AutoCRUD::DBIC>
When I go to start the AutoCRUD server, I get the following error message:
Couldn't instantiate component "DemoApp::Model::AutoCRUD::DBIC", "Attribute (schema_class)
does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for
'Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema::Types::SchemaClass' with value Database::foo::Schema at
/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Moose/Meta/Attribute.pm line 1275.
As I am new to Catalyst and this plugin, I don't know how to resolve this issue. Google has not been very helpful - I found this discussion, but from what I can tell the issue was that Catalyst was being pointed towards the wrong *.pm (although I could be misreading this).
In case this is helpful, here are the contents of Schema.pm:
use utf8;
package DBIC::Database::foo::Schema;
# Created by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader
# DO NOT MODIFY THE FIRST PART OF THIS FILE
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'DBIx::Class::Schema';
__PACKAGE__->load_namespaces;
# Created by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader v0.07024 @ 2012-05-20 07:25:21
# DO NOT MODIFY THIS OR ANYTHING ABOVE! md5sum:cevz/k4rUWIcEhMl29r0QA
# You can replace this text with custom code or comments, and it will be preserved on regeneration

Please help!
Completely rebuilding the DBIC classes from the Catalyst manual solved the problem. While I cannot pinpoint what was unacceptable to Moose in the first set of classes, the second set of classes had one additional problem: the line __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; was generated for every class (i.e. in each *.pm). Commenting it out and restarting Catalyst yielded a functioning CRUD app.
