Arquillian test case fails due to unsuccessful undeployment

[yasharbi]

I have an arquillian class with three test method which runs on a managed tomcat.

when I run my test class , all three test method passes but  the whole test case class fails with this message :

java.lang.RuntimeException: The server command (/text/undeploy?path=%2FArquillianDBTest) failed with content (FAIL - Unable to delete [C:\WebServers\ArquillianTest\apache-tomcat-7.0.29\webapps\ArquillianDBTest]. The continued presence of this file may cause problems.).

It seems that arquillilan trying to undeploy the WAR file after testing process which fails and cause a failure for the whole testing process.

How should I fix this problem? any help will be appreciated

Any indications in the logs or similar as to why it fails to delete the file?

Windows holding a file lock or something?

Hello, yashar,

the question is very old, but nevertheless ...

I had the same problem with Remote Tomcat.

The solution was ro add "antiJarLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true"" attributes into the Context element of the context.xml file under CATALINA_HOME/conf. Like this:

<Context antiJarLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true">

    <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>

    <WatchedResource>${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource>

</Context>
