Arquillian and alternatives in CDI

[fleurystephane]

Hi!

I'd like to build my test which is using alternatives in CDI.

So I create this code in my test class :

[source, java]

----

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)

public class FederationServiceTest {

    public static WebArchive war;

    @Deployment

    public static WebArchive createArchive(){

        war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class);

        war.addPackage(FederationService.class.getPackage());

        war.addPackage(Federation.class.getPackage());

        war.addPackage(CountryException.class.getPackage());

        war.addPackage(FederationManagement.class.getPackage());

        war.addAsWebInfResource("WEB-INF/beans.xml");       <1>

        return war;

    }

----

<1> : this file is not empty, it contains the alternative used somewhere else

Problem : it doesn't find the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/beans.xml :

----

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: WEB-INF/beans.xml not found in classloader sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@5ab8df17

----

Thnaks for your help.

normally WEB-INF is not a ClassLoader resource.

Try using war.addAsWebInfResource(new File("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/beans.xml")) instead

Thanks for your answer!

I already tried this issue but it doesn't work.

I put my project here : https://bitbucket.org/fleurystephane/footballfederation

I commented the Arquillian test to make sure the project (the WebService) is working correctly.

Question : when you use

war.addAsWebInfResource(new File("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/beans.xml"))

you don't use the real project file, so it is not a real test ..., isn't it?

Here's a pull request: https://bitbucket.org/fleurystephane/footballfederation/pull-request/1/fix-failing-test/diff

There is actually some issue with the use of EJB's in the Weld EE Embedded Mock container. It's designed for CDI only. While Weld SE Embedded Container will allow to create EJB's as CDI beans (no EJB features just plain simple CDI), the Weld EE Container seems to have some issues.

Thanks a lot Aslak!

I've to test my SOAP Service, for now I use SoapUI. Is there another way to run integration test for Jax-WS WebServices ?

We don't have any specific support around Jax-WS WebServices, but you can use Soap-UI with Arquillian.

The "Arquillian Testing Guide" book has an example on that;

http://www.amazon.com/Arquillian-Testing-Guide-John-Ament/dp/1782160701/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381063576&sr=8-1&keywords=arquillian

Basically it is;

* Use a container that supports Jax-WS

* Test it as a Client using @Deployment.testable=false

* Inject the URL to the deployment using @ArquillianResource URL;

* Create a new instance of the SoapUITestRunner given the URL in the @Test method.

OK, Thanks for all
