无法使用嵌入式Glassfish运行Arquillian

Question

Some possibly useful information:

• Project: maven based cdi
• Environment: Ubuntu 16.04
• JDK: oracle 8
• IDE: Netbeans 8.2

Here's the CDI Bean under test:

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class UserPreferencies implements Serializable {

private Locale currentLocale;

public UserPreferencies() {
    //locale is initiated to French but may be overriden in the
    //post-constructed method
    currentLocale = new Locale("fr");
}

@PostConstruct
public void initialize() {
    /**
     * if a user specific locale is provided in the browser
     * we should be setting it here
     */
    if(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() != null){
        Optional<ExternalContext> optContext = ofNullable(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
                .getExternalContext());
        if (optContext.isPresent()) {
            Optional<Locale> userLocale = ofNullable(optContext.get().getRequestLocale());
            if (userLocale.isPresent()) {
                currentLocale = userLocale.get();
            }
        }
    }
}

public Locale getCurrentLocale() {
    return currentLocale;
}

public void setCurrentLocale(Locale currentLocale) {
    this.currentLocale = currentLocale;
}

}

These are pertinent pom.xml settings (written following the official arquillian guide ):

<dependencies>
    ...
    <!-- the support for the arquillian test framework -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian</groupId>
        <artifactId>arquillian-bom</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.11.Final</version>
        <scope>import</scope>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

        <artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>

    </dependency>
</dependencies>

        <dependencies>
            <dependency>

                <artifactId>arquillian-glassfish-embedded-3.1</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.0.CR4</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
                <exclusions>
                        <exclusion> <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.container</groupId>
                            <artifactId>arquillian-container-spi</artifactId>
                        </exclusion>
                    </exclusions>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.glassfish.main.extras</groupId>
                <artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
                <version>3.1.2</version>
                <scope>provided</scope>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Then I set the mentioned above maven profiles using NetBeans' 'Set Configuration' option.

This is the test that I am trying to run (fairly basic as you may see):

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class UserPreferenciesTests {

public UserPreferenciesTests() {
}

//humble attempt to mock glassfish only with the UserPreferencies bean inside
@Deployment
public static JavaArchive createDeployment() {
    JavaArchive jar = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class)
            .addClass(UserPreferencies.class)
            .addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");
    System.out.println(jar.toString(true));
    return jar;
}

@Inject
UserPreferencies preferencies;

@Test
public void localeIsNotNull(){
    assertNotNull(preferencies.getCurrentLocale().getCountry());
}

@Test
public void defaultLocaleTest() {
    assertTrue("The default locale should be \"fr\"",
            "fr".equalsIgnoreCase(preferencies.getCurrentLocale().getLanguage()));
}
}

Unfortunatelly running the test yields the following stacktrace:

Any advice or shared expertise on this issue are appreciated as, although I have done a lot of reading on the arquillian site, I am fairly new to testing with Arquillian on the practical side.

[Update] Performing mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose I figured one dependency conflict for the new libraries that caused a newer library to be omitted (I updated the pom file above). This is the new error ( org.jvnet.hk2.component.MultiMap is indeed missing from the project, but the library that I excluded wasn't deleted - it as replaced by the correct version...):

Answer 1

Finally I've figured it out. I am posting it in case this could be useful to other people experiencing similar issues. All problems were comming from the conflicting dependencies, but many of these were unseen because I used glassfish-embedded-all (and later payara-embedded-all as its replacement) with the scope provided. One by one I started removing the dependencies that were throwing these errors. For example the old hk2 dependency was coming from org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-client:2.21 .

Then I had similar issue with org.apache.deltaspike.core:deltaspike-core-impl:1.01 . With this there was another problem - namely it was used by the cdi-unit framework in one test method. Figuring that cdi unit and arquillian do the same thing, but the later is much more powerful I finished by excluding that test method.

This is the pom.xml that worked for me (I excluded the non relevant parts), but if you're having a similar issue try to follow the same logic excluding the older dependencies and "clean installing" each time to check that nothing else breaks :-):
