Re: [fw-core] Problem with Dispatch using Zend_Test

I've done some more testing and discovered something very strange.

What I did was to create a new controller and view to test the dispatch. It
works fine on this new controller.

I then removed the problematic controller and changed the name of the new
controller to that of the problematic one (in this case, it is
"DashboardController").

Strangely enough, it works. The only reason I can think of is that there is
something wrong with the code that causes

I've also found out that the reason why the original problematic controller
couldn't dispatch properly is due to the ErrorController being called to
handle an error. I can't imagine what kind of error that would be because
everything works fine when I use the browser, but not with Zend_Test.

Can anyone point out where the problem might be? I suspect it is due to the
loading of the model classes but I've got to do more testing to find out.
