Missing file from Nexus preventing build of Arquillian TestNG Integration

[mikevan]

After downloading the most recent codebase from git for jbossAS 7.2.0.SNAPSHOT, I recieved the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project jboss-as-arquillian-testng-integration: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.jboss.as:jboss-as-arquillian-testng-integration:jar:7.2.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT

Indeed after looking at the jboss nexus repository I came across this link:

https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/jboss/as/jboss-as-spec-api/

There do not appear to be any entries for 7.2.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT. Any ideas what's going on?

[mikevan]

This file is created by the spec-api module, which is built much later in the build process. The way I see it, there are two possible solutions:

1) Move the arquillian modules to after the spec-api module (destructive), or
2) Create a module specifically for arquillian-testng at a peer level to spec-api in the source-tree and move the contents of arquillian-testng to the new module. In the project's parent pom.xml, create an entry for arquillian-testng immediately after spec-api in the modules section.

The only other module that has a dependency on jboss-as-arquillian-testng-integration is test-suite which runs after spec-api. Also, all of the other Arquillian modules build fine, and there are numerous dependencies on the other arquillian modules in the build process.  With this in mind, I think option 2 is probably best.

I can implement whichever solution you folks would like and submit a patch after a decision is made.

The only reason I found this was because I started the build with a blank .m2/repository. If Jenkins isn't clearing out the .m2/repository prior to the build that then this would have only shown up the first time a build was done. After that, the file produced by spec-api would be installed into the repository and the problem would have gone away.

Thoughts?
