Arquillian wildfly8.2 embedded : JBAS014670: Failed initializing module org.jboss.as.logging

Question

I'm trying to set up a project that uses arquillian to do some kind of integration testing. I already went through some tutorials but can't get my test running. The exception I get is:

Cannot not load JBoss LogManager. The LogManager has likely been accessed prior to this initialization.

and this is my arquillian.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<arquillian xmlns="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian
        http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian/arquillian_1_0.xsd">

    <container qualifier="wildfly-embedded" default="true">
        <configuration>
            <property name="jbossHome">target/wildfly-8.2.0.Final</property>
            <property name="modulePath">target/wildfly-8.2.0.Final/modules</property>
        </configuration>
    </container>

</arquillian>

That doesn't change it. In maven I can run it, in eclipse I still get that error. I updated my pom.xml, will do the same changes in the one over here (i.e. adjusting the forkmode and changing a dependency) — Vandeperre Maarten, Jul 15 '15 at 06:28
This normally comes because java.util.logging.manager is not set to the expected manager, tho you are doing that in the argLine. Try setting it as a systemProeprtyVariables instead; https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-arquillian/blob/master/container-embedded/pom.xml#L108 — Aslak Knutsen, Jul 15 '15 at 21:44

For some reason, the maven to eclipse settings are not completely working: in eclipse: go to JVM settings of the unit test(s) you want to run,

Right click on unit test file -->Run As -->Run Configuration -->JUnit -->Arguments

and add the below line in VM arguments section

-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager

Adding this snippet in pom.xml solved the issue.

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.12</version>
    <configuration>
        <systemProperties>
            <property>
                <name>java.util.logging.manager</name>
                <value>org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager</value>
            </property>
        </systemProperties>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Thank you. This actually explains why Wildfly won't start with a `-javaagent ` configured, especifically [jmx_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter). – JulioHM Dec 09 '19 at 19:23
I'm not sure why but the final tag wasn't visible to me which caused an error when I copy and pasted. I edited the post a bit so that it shows up, but the community needs to approve before it shows for others. Just be aware if you are trying to copy and paste this answer. – shawn1874 Aug 09 '20 at 00:48

In addition to the answer of Abhishek: For integration tests you must add this snippet too:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <systemProperties>
      <property>
        <name>java.util.logging.manager</name>
        <value>org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager</value>
      </property>
    </systemProperties>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

In my case it helped to disable a java agent as mentioned in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3152:

There is nothing we can really do about this. As Rob said this is generally caused by a javaagent that uses java.util.logging before the server has started. It can also be caused by running the server in embedded mode and having code that uses java.util.logging before the server starts.

Ie. removal of java property: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -agentpath:...
