Arquillian Final/ShrinkWrap: Exclude "vanilla" test classes from src/test/java

[napu]

Hi!

My problem manifested itself with CR7 (if I remember correctly): When creating an archive using the addPackages method, also the XxxTest classes are added from src/test/java and they cause the tests to fail.

(The failure itself is quite weird: a ClassNotFoundException in the JBoss server (7.1.1.) window.)

I can of course avoid the problem e.g. by filtering as in the following example or by using single addClass methods:

{code}WebArchive paketti = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class,
            "test.war")
            .addPackages(false, Filters.exclude(XxxUnitTest.class),
                  Book.class.getPackage(),
                  Another.class.getPackage())
            .addAsWebInfResource("META-INF/beans-arquillian.xml", "beans.xml");
{code}

Both these solutions are tedious as JPA classes contain references to other JPA classes and there will either be a horrendous amount of single addClass methods or a rather big amount of excudes.

Wow that's an old thread Apologies that we left it without any answer. I think this approach might help you https://community.jboss.org/message/824993#824993

Or maybe you have figured out some other trick which works for you?

Thanks!

I have not devised anything more clever than using filters. I think I'll consider using a separate Maven module for Arquillian tests.
