I'm having a problem with accessing a @SessionScoped bean across tests. The Arquillian documentation states that session and application scopes are active across all tests, and request scope for individual tests, which I took to mean that if I set some state in an injected @SessionScoped bean in one test method, then in the next test method I should see that state.

I have a simple @SessionScoped bean called Session, which holds the current logged-in user information.

I have injected it into an Arquillian test, and in one test method, I log the user in. That info is now stored in my Session bean.

I would expect that the next test would see that same state (in this case, the user that I logged in in the first test), but I am seeing a fresh Session bean for every test.

I have annotated the methods using @InSequence to ensure the correct order of execution (and verified with debugger).

@Inject

private Session session;

@Test(expected = IllegalStateException.class)

@InSequence(1)

public void noLoggedInUser()

{

log.info("First test");

assertEquals(false, session.isLoggedIn());

session.getCurrentUser();

}

@Test

@InSequence(2)

public void testLogin() throws AuthenticationException

{

session.logIn("admin", "admin", null);

assertNotNull(session.getCurrentUser());

assertEquals(true, session.isLoggedIn());

}

@Test

@InSequence(3)

public void testSessionAcrossRequests()

{

assertTrue("Session should still be logged in", session.isLoggedIn());

}

I don't know if this is a bug, a configuration problem, or me simply misreading the documentation.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Morgan
