Hi,
arquillian is pretty impressive but there is one major thing that is bothering me:
From the documentation I got the feeling the test itself is run on the server - it sure doesn't feel like that is the case.
Using Alpha5 with Tomcat6 and Jetty7 (embedded) I get this behavior
@Deployment
public static WebArchive createWar() {
.... addAsLibraries(someJarThatIncludesFoo); ...
}
@Test
public void testOnServer(){
this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("test.Foo"); // I get ClassNotFoundException
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("test.Foo"); // works with Jetty but not with Tomcat
}
I'd expect this.getClass().getClassLoader() to return WebAppLoader instead it returns AppClassLoader.
Right now I worked around by using Servlets/Listeners (they get loaded in the correct ClassLoader) and doing stuff like
@Test
public void testFromClient(){
String body = readAllAndClose(new URL(baseUrl, "/Test").openStream());
....
}
it would be a lot more convenient if the Test is loaded in the WebAppClassLoader instead of AppClassLoader.
Am I missing something or is this the desired behavior? Surely it is not?
Cheers
Alen
