James Livingston created ARQ-1066: ------------------------------------- Summary: ArchiveDeployer.deployInternal() always uses null rootCause Key: ARQ-1066 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1066 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: JBoss AS Containers Reporter: James Livingston ArchiveDeployer.deployInternal() walks back along the chain of initialCause exceptions to attach the root cause to the thrown exception, presumably in an attempt to reduce the clutter in the output. The way it does so is incorrect and will always result in rootCause=null. I think that it should just attach "ex" as-is, but if stripping the intermediate exceptions is what is desired, then the while condition should be "rootCause != null && rootCause.getCause() != null", so that it extracts the last one. -- Throwable rootCause = ex.getCause(); while (null != rootCause) { rootCause = rootCause.getCause(); } throw new DeploymentException("Cannot deploy: " + name, rootCause); -- -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
