Using Arquillian to perform functional tests with ant

[c_fil]

Hi! I have a project built with ant, and I want to execute some functional tests on it. And I've been struggling to find some good examples on how to integrate it.

Can someone explain or indicate a place where I can understand the @Deployment method, and if someone already got the exception: "Could not create new instance of class org.jboss.arquillian.test.impl.EventTestRunnerAdaptor" running the Ant task that execute the tests.

Best Regards,

Ok, forget the @Deployment method thing, I already understand the basis.

About the error, I've read that I need a JBoss instance running in my local machine, and configure JBOSS_HOME inside a arquillian.xml... but, I don´t have this arquillian XML. Is it really this? Or it has to do with some jar missing?

Hi Carlos,

I'm not aware of any examples Arquillian with Ant. What I would suggest would be to get a project that does functional testing with Maven - for instance this one https://github.com/kpiwko/arquillian-safari/tree/master/arquillian-browsers-scenario - put it into JBDS and then right click on Java Resources/Maven Dependencies/Materialize Library.

This will create a lib directory with all jars you need and you can then use them from Ant.

BTW, as for the deployments etc., there are guides at arquillian.org page that would help you.

HTH,

Hi Karel!

I've choose to use maven to run my tests. The problem now is that I keep getting the same error. I'm Using Jboss 4.2.3GA, and I want to deploy on a remote container, but even if I delete or change the file arquillian.xml to incorrect params the error its always the same, so i guess it's something wrong with its path, I already follow several guides and the error is always the same.

I guess that you are missing container dependencies in your pom file, so Arquillian is missing classes. You should put a dependency according to Container adapters - Arquillian - Project Documentation Editor into your pom.xml file - into AS4 related profile. If you need any more hints, can you please paste your pom.xml and full stracktrace here?

To be honest, I never tried using Arquillian with AS4 container, so I would recommend you to use something more recent (AS7) if possible.

HTH,

It was a problem with the dependencies! I can't user any other than AS4, legacy is a pain in the... Thank's for your help!!!
