junit-standalone runs a @Test 4 times! why?

[jjfraney]

I'm trying out arquillian-junit-standalone.  I noticed something weird: A @Test method was running multiple times...and I want it to run once.

I worked out a simple example.  attached as a zip file.  To run, use:

mvn clean compile test failsafe:integration-test verify

You will see this in the output:

-------------------------------------------------------

T E S T S

-------------------------------------------------------

Running org.sample.SampleIT

running the test

running the test

running the test

running the test

Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.341 sec - in org.sample.SampleIT

Here is the @Test method,

    @Test

    @RunAsClient

    public void testPlay() {

        System.out.println("running the test");

    }

Thanks,

John

Hi,

if you want to use only junit-standalone, then remove the arquillian-junit-container dependency.

If you want to use both of them (standalone as well as container) then use only the arquillian-junit-container dependency as it transitively fetches also the standalone dependency.

In addition, in the standalone mode you don't have to specify @RunAsClient annotation

Thanks,

I will make only one of your suggested edits: removing arquillian-junit-standalone.  Such is adequate to relieve the issue.  Thanks for the correct answer.

FYI:

1) when I remove dependency arquillian-junit-container, a compiler error: mvn clean test-compile 

   [ERROR] /home/jfraney/projects/multitest/src/test/java/org/sample/SampleIT.java:[3,47] package org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api does not exist

2) when I remove @RunAsClient, a warning when running the test: mvn clean test failsafe:integration-test verify

   WARNING: The test method "org.sample.SampleIT testPlay" will run on the client side - there is no running deployment yet. Please use the annotation @RunAsClient
