[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQ-1249) Deployment to GF fails if .war extension is missing

Deployment to GF fails if .war extension is missing --------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-1249 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1249 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: GlassFish Containers Reporter: Fabian Schwarzer Assignee: Aslak Knutsen Fix For: 1.0.4.Final If you try to deploy a WebArchive like so, {code:borderStyle=solid} final WebArchive archive = ShrinkWrap.create( WebArchive.class, "ArquillianTest" ); {code} you will get a NPE, that does not give you any clue about how to fix the problem. In order to fix it, you have to write "ArquillianTest.war" and not "ArquillianTest". It would be nice if there was a error message that pointed you to the error, instead of a meaningless NPE.
