Arquillian Weld EE NullPointerException (invoking method) EAR

Question

I am trying to test with Arquillian + WELD EE in an (ShrinkWrap)EnterpriseArchive. But I am getting a NullPointerException when I start invoking the method.

My testclass

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class NewSessionBeanTest {

    public NewSessionBeanTest() {
    }

    @Deployment
    public static Archive<?> createDeployment() {
        final JavaArchive ejbJar = ShrinkWrap
                .create(JavaArchive.class, "ejb-jar.jar")
                .addClass(NewSessionBean.class)
                .addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");

        final WebArchive testWar = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war")
                .addClass(NewSessionBeanTest.class)
                .addAsManifestResource("META-INF/test-web-beans.xml", "beans.xml")
                ;
        final EnterpriseArchive ear = ShrinkWrap.create(EnterpriseArchive.class)
                .setApplicationXML("META-INF/test-application.xml")
                .addAsModule(ejbJar)
                .addAsModule(testWar);

        return ear;
    }

    @Inject
    NewSessionBean sessionBean;

    @Test
    public void testBusinessMethod() throws Exception {
        assertNotNull(sessionBean);

        // With Weld-EE it gives NullPointerException here
        sessionBean.businessMethod();
    }
}

It fails at sessionBean.businessMethod();, there is an proxy inserted so assertNotNull passes. When I use arquillian-weld-se-embedded-1.1 (SE), then I get an error could not inject members.

This works perfectly when I test this with a wildfly-embedded container.

UPDATE: My NewSessionBean class is @Stateless + @LocalBean (also tested without @LocalBean. When I test this with @ApplicationScoped it works, but it's not what I want. Also if I test it @Named or with @LocalBean it works. But these are non-EJB specifications.

Found test on: http://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/index.php?source_dir=arquillian-container-weld-master/weld-ee-embedded-1.1/src/test/java/org/jboss/arquillian/container/weld/ee/embedded_1_1/WeldEmbeddedIntegrationEARTestCase.java

UPDATE 2: I have found a workaround for this. Changing to WELD SE and adding ear.merge(ejbJar) to the Test works for the weld profile and Wildfly Managed profile.

Still I don't consider this as a solution, because I think it should be supported by WELD-EE.
