How do I debug "ArquillianServletRunner not found. Could not determine ContextRoot from ProtocolMetadata" exception?

[billm]

I am trying test with a Tomcat Managed Container implementation.

I am creating a war with ShrinkWrap out of a war file for a working web app.

@Deployment

public static WebArchive createDeployment() throws Archive(ImportException, IllegalArgumentException, ZipException, IOException {

       WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.createFromZipFile(WebArchive.class,new File("C:"+File.separator+"viewer-web.war"));

       System.out.println(war.toString(true));

       return war;

}

I understand from other discussions that the exception signifies ...tomcat.ProtocolMetadataParser is unable to decipher the metadata during deploy.

How should the metadata look? What files should I look at in the newly created war?  Unfortunately my test war file is removed from deploy area when the test completes.  Is there a way to stop the war from being undeployed when the test ends, or write out WebArchive to a backup file?

Thanks,

Bill

Add the following to your arquillian.xml.  A copy of the deployed archive will be left in your target directory.

    <engine>

             <property name="deploymentExportPath">target</property>

   </engine>
