Issue by running a SeamTest

[dotnetmobile]

I am developing a Web project with seam 2.1 which is available at
http://code.google.com/p/ezmanager.
I have created a SeamTest for testing a specific web page:

http://code.google.com/p/ezmanager/source/browse/trunk/project/ezmanager-test/test-src/org/ezmanager/test/BaseStatusListPageTest.java

Toe test it I have installed TestNG under eclipse.
Then I have created a debug configuration under testNG to select the test class BaseStatusListPageTest and the method testConnection.

By trying to debug it I get the following errors. Could you please help me to set up correctly the test?

Seems to be the java 6 array classloading issue.
Try to run with command line:
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true

Hi Heri,

First of all many thanks for your feedback. I am currently using java version 1.6.0_20.
I have the feeling that the issue is much more related to the way I am setting up the eclipse testNG to run the specified test above.
Do you know if there is somewhere a video showing how to test a user interface by using testNG under eclipse.
I have bough the book Seam in Action from Dan Allen but by reading the section how to create a SeamTest I don't find any explanation showing how to configure it properly under eclipse.

I am a little bit frustrated because my project is running perfectly and I want to consolidate it by putting some user interface tests which I am not able to see them running under my eclipse environment.

Best Regards
Michel

I'm not an expert at all, and do not know any videos about seam. I had the same problem when I tried to run my first NG test which could be solved by the mentioned command line.

The cited exception is typically for this issue:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [Ljava.lang.Class;

Try to run your NG test with the commandline:

-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true

and you should go fine.

Hi Henri,

I tried it but it didn't work.

Hi Henry,
finally I got it running. For sure I had to add the options you mentioned above but my most important issue was the way I have generated the project. Initially I used JBossTools under eclipse to create the project. After some investigation I decided to recreate the project structure by using seam-gen: the folders structure is completely different and it is appropriated to run the SeamTest.
Many thanks for your help.
