Problem with observer service

[gvagenas]

Based on the Lifecycle extension from showcase, i have an extension that provides @BeforeDeploy.

I register the class that implements LoadbleExtension with org.jboss.arquillian.core.spi.LoadableExtension at the META-INF/services and i can see on debuging that the observer is registered on the extensions.

I am testing with tomcat-embedded-6 and my test case creates a web archive with:

1. a servlet class
2. weld-servlet 1.1.2.Final artifact
3. proper web.xml (defines the servlet and the weld listener)
4. proper context.xml (defines the BeanManager)
5. beans.xml

So even though the setup seems ok to me, i have a method in my test case class which is annotated with @BeforeDeploy but is never get called.

Any idea on what could be wrong over here?

Is there documentation for the SPI provided be Arquillian?

Regards

Further debugging on the issue revealed that in the method that observes for BeforeDeploy event

public void executeBeforeDeploy(@Observes BeforeDeploy event, TestClass testClass) never gets invoked because the type

TestClass cannot be resolved in any of the active context, specificaly the method org.jboss.arquillian.core.impl.ManagerImpl.resolve(Class<T>) returns null when trying to resolve org.jboss.arquillian.test.spi.TestClass so method  org.jboss.arquillian.core.impl.ObserverImpl.invoke(Manager, Object) doesn't invoke the observer's method, since arguments contain null.

The test class of my project is registered in the active context org.jboss.arquillian.test.impl.context.ClassContextImpl

Do you think this is a bug or something is configured wrong from my side?

Your using CR5 I would assume. The exposure of TestClass in the ClassContext is not currently released, it's fixed in the master branch.
