AS7.1.1.Final managed and Arquillian 1.0.3.Final with custom jboss.server.base.dir

[grossetieg]

Hi,

I want to give Arquillian a custom "jboss.server.base.dir" to isolate my integration tests from my default base dir. I use a "application" dir to deploy my full application and "integration-test" dir to run my tests.

The following configuration works well :

<arquillian xmlns="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian"
                              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                              xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian
        http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian/arquillian_1_0.xsd">
          <defaultProtocol type="Servlet 3.0" />
          <container qualifier="jbossas-managed" default="true">
                    <configuration>
                              <property name="javaVmArguments">-Djboss.server.base.dir=../integration-test</property>
                              <property name="jbossHome">/opt/jboss</property>
                    </configuration>
          </container>
</arquillian>

The problem is that the logging configuration is still on the default dir (standalone). Here is the launching command :

/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/jre/bin/java, -ea, 
-Djboss.server.base.dir=../integration-test,
-Djboss.home.dir=/opt/jboss, 
-Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=/opt/jboss/standalone/log/boot.log, 
-Dlogging.configuration=file:/opt/jboss/standalone/configuration/logging.properties, 
-Djboss.modules.dir=/opt/jboss/modules, 
-Djboss.bundles.dir=/opt/jboss/bundles, 
-jar, /opt/jboss/jboss-modules.jar, -mp, /opt/jboss/modules, -jaxpmodule, javax.xml.jaxp-provider, org.jboss.as.standalone, -server-config, standalone.xml

Is it possible to set the "logging.configuration" and the "org.jboss.boot.log.file" realtive to the "jboss.server.base.dir" ?

Cheers,

Guillaume.

I found out that the config path is hardcoded in ManagedDeployableContainer. I made a tiny change : https://github.com/Mogztter/jboss-as/commit/dc8480d5eec996802770658302b270e5408f0ab1

What do you think ?

Hello Guillaume,

many thanks for the patch. I've created a tracking jira https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5839. Can you sent a pull request so AS7 team could have a look?

My personal opinion is that we could check if user defined any of -Dxyz himself and if so, then override the hardcoded value. It would make it even more flexible.

Hi Karel,

Thanks for the jira.

I sent a pull request just now. I rework my commit to allow the system property value "-Dfoo.bar=value" define on the javaVmArguments to override the default value.

Guillaume.
