Arquillian support for Java 11?

[boris59]

I recently started migrating an existing in-house project from Java 8 / Wildfly 8 / Java EE 7 to Java 11 / Wildfly 15 / Java EE 8. While the project itself is now 100% working on the new versions, I ran into issues with Arquillian. My first impression was that I was "too recent" Wildfly-wise, as Wildfly 14 seemed to have been the most recent version supported. But then I stumbled upon Error running Arquillian tests on Wildfly 15.0.0.Final (ArquillianServletRunner not found). Works on 14.0.1.Final and older which gave me a reference project that works with Wildfly 15 (I made a minor adjustment compared to that article by using Wildfly 15.0.1.Final but it worked just as fine). But even the sample project mentioned there, GitHub - OctopusDeploy/ArquillianTest , does not work when running it on Java 11, at least not for me. I bumped Arquillian's BOM to 1.4.1.Final in addition but to no avail: the project still runs on Java 8 only.

Question: Does Arquillian already support Java 11 (and I am making some kind of mistake) or is my search for Java 11 compatibility in vain?

If it helps I'd fork the sample project on Github and make the few adjustments that ultimately make it not work for me on Java 11.

Thanks for any input on this!

What version of org.wildfly.arquillian are you using?

As per the referenced article I used 2.1.1.Final there, the most recent version that I could find on https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.wildfly.arquillian

EDIT: I took the liberty of forking the project to GitHub - bjoernmartin/ArquillianTest  and making the adjustments mentioned. While testing if I still get the error (just to be sure...) I noticed that both the Maven Compiler + Surefire Plugin versions used were "a bit old" considering the recentness of Java 11. So I pulled them up to the newest versions I know of. But I still get an error:

The red line lead me to org.jboss.modules.ModuleNotFoundException: java.se which suggests a fix for Wildfly's startup scripts by making sure --add-modules java.se is present. But the command line (marked violet) lacks that parameter. So maybe that is the issue?

This looks like there's not currently a version of WildFly Arquillian that works with Java 11. It looks like a 2.2.0.Final release will need to be done soon or we need to get 2.1.x to work with Java 11. A 2.2.0.Final release is probably a better option IMO. I'll add a task to get this done.

I just realized I forgot to add the workaround for you. You can add a javaVmArguments property to your arquillian.xml with --add-modules=java.se that should work around the issue.

<property name="javaVmArguments">--add-modules=java.se</property>

Just an FYI 2.2.0.Final of wildfly-arquillian has been released and should work with Java 11.

Sorry for the late reply, I was unavailable the last few weeks.

I skipped the workaround and went directly for 2.2.0.Final - now it works. I also updated GitHub - bjoernmartin/ArquillianTest to specify that version, so checking it out and building now works out of the box for Java 11.

Thanks a lot for the quick help, much appreciated!
