针对远程Wildfly-8.0.0运行Arquillian时的NPE

Question

Yesterday, when trying to move my integration tests from embedded GF 4 to the remote Wildfly 8 I was getting strange NullPointerException for every arquillian test run against remote Wildfly 8 instance. The same integration test worked just fine on embedded Glassfish 4.0.

org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.client.container.DeploymentException: Cannot deploy: test.war
    at org.jboss.as.arquillian.container.ArchiveDeployer.deployInternal(ArchiveDeployer.java:83)

    ...

My test case was extremely easy (deployment with single class), not need to post here.
Components used:

• Arquillian 1.1.5.Final
• Wildfly 8.0.0.Final
• Eclipse Luna

No matter what was the way to launch my test case (from Eclipse IDE and with mvn integration-test ) result was the same.

I've lost whole day but managed to find a solution.

Answer 1

Finally I've managed to fix above error by starting the same server from the command line (not from Eclipse IDE):

wildfly-8.0.0.Final\bin\standalone.bat

Suddenly problem was gone. Now my integration tests works fine against remote Wildfly.
Also I've noticed that original problem doesn't occur anymore on wildfly 8.1.0 .

Hope it will help somebody.
