Error when running Arquillian with was embedded

Question

I am trying to reproduce the test described in the Arquillian guide [1]. I was able to build the arquillian-was-embedded-8 from the source code as indicated here [2], however when running the test project using "mvn test" I get the following exception:

Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module does not have any enterprise beans configured. I include the full trace below.

Anyone able to shed some light here?

The problems seems to be now during the deployment of the created jar that contains the test classes. See trace below:

So here are pieces of my relevant files. But it is for Liberty not full WAS, so might be not so useful for you. However you should be able to test probably most of your app (depending on features that you use on Liberty and then deploy to classic WAS).

pom fragments:

repo:

test class (it is for testing ejb that is inside of web project, so you may need to change that):

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class HelloBeanTest {
@EJB HelloBean bean;

@Test
public void helloTest() {
    assertNotNull(bean);

    assertEquals("hello", bean.hello());
}

@Deployment
public static WebArchive createDeployment() {

    final File[] libs = Maven.resolver().loadPomFromFile("pom.xml").importDependencies(ScopeType.COMPILE, ScopeType.TEST).resolve()
            .withTransitivity().asFile();

    WebArchive archive =  ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)

            .addPackages(true, "pkg1")
            .addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml")
            .addAsWebInfResource(new File("WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml"), "web.xml")
            .addAsLibraries(libs);

    System.out.println(archive.toString(true));
    return archive;
  }
}

Answer 2

Oh yeah!!! I got it working with wlp. I guess it was a configuration problem. I downloaded the was liberty v8.5.5.6 Runtime available here. Note that at the beginning I was using WAS Liberty with Java EE 7 Full Platform, which is available [here] (https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/liberty-profile-using-non-eclipse-environments/).

I installed it locally running the jar with the following command: java -jar wlp-runtime-8.5.5.6.jar Finally, I created a new server on eclipse using that location. I configured a defaultServer using the following config:

<!-- Enable features -->
<featureManager>
    <feature>jsp-2.2</feature>
    <feature>localConnector-1.0</feature>
    <feature>cdi-1.0</feature>
    <feature>ejbLite-3.1</feature>
</featureManager>

<!-- To access this server from a remote client add a host attribute to the following element, e.g. host="*" -->
<httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint"
              host="localhost"
              httpPort="9080"
              httpsPort="9443" />

My arquillian.xml file (placed in src/test/resources in my eclipse project) is as follows:

<?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/arquillian_1_0.xsd">

<engine>
    <property name="deploymentExportPath">target/</property>
</engine>

<container qualifier="wlp" default="true">
    <configuration>
        <property name="wlpHome">C:\Users\UDVT0160\Downloads\wlp</property>
        <property name="serverName">defaultServer</property>
        <property name="httpPort">9080</property>
        <property name="appDeployTimeout">10</property>
        <property name="appUndeployTimeout">10</property>
    </configuration>
</container>

I will soon post a step by step tutorial to help others. Thanks a billion @Gas for your valuable support!
