IllegalStateException ... Kept on getting 404s.

[ssilvert]

I'm trying to run an Arquillian/JSFUnit test.  I get this error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error launching test at http://localhost:8080/test/ArquillianServletRunner?outputMode=serializedObject&className=org.jboss.jsfunit.example.hellojsf.FacadeAPITest&methodName=testGetCurrentViewId. Kept on getting 404s.
    at org.jboss.arquillian.protocol.servlet_3.ServletMethodExecutor.execute(ServletMethodExecutor.java:125)
    at org.jboss.arquillian.protocol.servlet_3.ServletMethodExecutor.invoke(ServletMethodExecutor.java:57)
    ... 33 more

It looks like Arquillian is undeploying the WAR before it calls ArquillianServletRunner.  I think that's the reason for the 404.  The deployment is no longer there.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I figured out the problem.  My web.xml was using the Servlet 2.3 DTD.  Therefore, the Arquillian web-fragment.xml was never processed and the mapping for ArquillianServletRunner was not there.

For web fragments, you have to use the 2.5 or 3.0 web-app deployment descriptor.  So anyone testing an older app with Arquillian will get this error, even in a Servlet 3.0 container.

aa, nice catch!

maybe we should try to add some validation there..

In the short run, let's create an FAQ for this general issue so that we don't cause our users any more lost days. Basically, FAQ as short-term triage I'll throw one together real quick.

Why do I get IllegalStateException ... Kept on getting 404s?
