TestNG Error - Couldn't find resource on the class path: testng.css

[willks]

Greets,    

      I've been bashing my head in trying to figure out this issue for the last 3 nights (moonlighting is a beautiful thing - right?!). For the record, I'm trying to migrage of Spring now that I found Arquillian - many things in Spring (like the awful @Configuration class) forced my hand on this. However, it's not as easy as the Arquillian CDI examples go - well, they probably are but at least not for me! I've been following documentation and numerous posts all round the 'webz trying to figure this out... but to no avail. So I will start with some detail:

Entities:

{code}

/**

* A base entity supporting the common fields for all entities

*/

@MappedSuperclass

public abstract class BaseEntity implements Serializable{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -7979088681300801112L;

    /**

     * Primary key for entity

     */

    @Id

    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.TABLE, generator = "sequences")

    @TableGenerator(name = "sequences", initialValue = 1, allocationSize = 50)

    private Long id;

    /**

     * Version of object, supporting optimistic lock

     */

    @Column (name = "opt_lock")

    @Version()

    private Long optimisticLock;

    /**

     * Flag to disable entity

     */

    @Column

    private boolean deleted = false;

    /**

     * Audit

     */

    @Embedded

    private Audit audit;

    public Long getId() {

        return id;

    }

    public Long getOptimisticLock() {

        return optimisticLock;

    }

}

/**

* Test entity

*/

@Entity()

@Table(name = "test_entity")

public class BaseEntityTest extends BaseEntity{

    @Column(length = 16)

    private String testColumn;

    public String getTestColumn() {

        return testColumn;

    }

    public void setTestColumn(String testColumn) {

        this.testColumn = testColumn;

    }

}

{code}

The service (only one EJB with a base class)

{code}

/**

Test EJB

*/

@Singleton(name = "baseServiceTest")

public class BaseServiceTestImpl extends BaseServiceImpl<BaseEntityTest> {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "testUnit")

    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Override

    public EntityManager getEntityManager() {

        return entityManager;

    }

}

/**

* Default implementation of BaseService

*/

@TransactionAttribute(value = TransactionAttributeType.SUPPORTS)

public abstract class BaseServiceImpl<T extends BaseEntity> implements BaseService<T> {

    private Class<T> managedClass;

    @EJB(beanName = "baseDAO")

    private BaseDAO baseDAO;

    /**

     * Get the parent entity manager

     * @return

     */

    public abstract EntityManager getEntityManager();

    @Override

    @TransactionAttribute(value = TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)

    public T save(T entity) {

        return baseDAO.save(getEntityManager(), entity);

    }

}

{code}

Finally, the test:

{code}

public class BaseServiceTest extends Arquillian {

   @Deployment

   public static Archive<?> createTestArchive() {

      return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar")

                .addClass(BaseEntityTest.class)

                .addClass(BaseEntity.class)

                .addClass(Audit.class)

                .addManifestResource("test-beans.xml", ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"))

                .addManifestResource("test-persistence.xml", ArchivePaths.create("persistence.xml"))

                .addManifestResource(new ByteArrayAsset("<beans/>".getBytes()), ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"));

   }

    @EJB(beanName = "baseServiceTest")

    private BaseService<BaseEntityTest> baseService;

    @Test

    public void testSave() throws Exception{

        BaseEntityTest baseEntityTest = new BaseEntityTest();

        baseEntityTest.setTestColumn("test value");

        //Save the test entity

        baseEntityTest = baseService.save(baseEntityTest);

        // Check nulls!

        Assert.assertNotNull(baseEntityTest.getId());

    }

}

{code}

Now, the pom.xml:

When executing through command line, I always get a fail in the server.log:

2011-03-01 20:14:40,385 ERROR [STDERR] (http-127.0.0.1-8080-1) Couldn't find resource on the class path: testng.css

But, the testSave() method is enver even reached. What is more confusing is this:

Ok - so from the servier logs, the only error is:

2011-03-01 20:14:40,385 ERROR [STDERR] (http-127.0.0.1-8080-1) Couldn't find resource on the class path: testng.css

And, the testSave() method is never called (using debug modes and attaching to running jBoss instance - and, also using 'System.out.prinln'. The test method is NEVER reached. So my problem seems to be the missing testng.css. I've followed every possible example but am thinking of going for the jUnit framework now. Does anyone know - or know of - or have any definitive documentation on how to get something like this going?

EDIT: Apologies about the formatting, I am using the tags, but it is not showing up as I thought it would

Team has decided Spring 3 is the next choice for compliance. Compliance in this case means that 99% of developers know how to use it and we can quickly hire for (assuming XML configuration). Compliance in their minds mean that tests work (strangely I agree that tests should work).

[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL

This is the straw that broke the camel's back. In Spring "[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL" is good.

With Arquillian/jBoss 6/TestNG it means "something happened, something really did happen - but we don't know what it was so we assume it worked"

I know it did not work - still, I want to know what is wrong with my code. We can't just replace spring because it works!

Hi,

could you try running your test using newest releseas versions of Arquillian (1.0.0.Alpha4.SP1), TestNG (5.14.x) and Surefire (2.7.2) plugin?

If you have time, it would be awesome if you could build Arquillian TestNG from source at https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian/tree/next using https://github.com/shrinkwrap/shrinkwrap/tree/SHRINKWRAP-140, which incorporate massive changes going into Arquillian 1.0.0.Beta1 release and test if this can be reproduced with new TestNG runner.

[aslak]

Not sure if that is your real pom, but it seems to be missing the arquillian.version property, and the arquillian-testng artifact has v. 1.0.0.Alpha ?

You can ignore the testng.css error, it does not cause your test to fail. (trying to find some resources when writing out the reports on the server side, not used / needed)

What does the server log say?

[willks]

Apologies with my 'Charlie Sheen' episode - guess I got caught up with all the media bombardment

Ok here is my properties block:

<arquillian.version>1.0.0.Alpha4.SP1</arquillian.version>

As far as I saw when I wrote the tests, this was the latest version available. I'll give this another good round of testing again.

Thanks

[aslak]

I am supericed that this runs successfully.

You seem to be missing items from your deployment definition, e.g. the actual EJB: BaseService.

You are also adding the beans.xml twice, once from file then as a empty item. This result might be the same, but probably not what you intended.

If you can zip up the project I can have a look at it.

ps: The latest 'real' Arquillian release is Alpha4, the Alpha4.SP1 is a special 'internal' OSGi releated release for the OSGi team and should not really be used by others. We're working on merging the trees.

[willks]

Ok I forgot to post a follow up. After upgrading to 1.0.0.Alpha5 everything started working as expected - well, it just exposed some bugs in my code also (@Inject vs @EJB in the test for instance).

Though I have it working I have some concerns about my POM files, but  I will post this as a separate issue.

Thanks though!
