[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (ARQ-345) Arquillian needs to deliver a raw archive to the test container

Arquillian needs to deliver a raw archive to the test container --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-345 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-345 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Base Implementation Reporter: David Bosschaert Fix For: 1.1.0.Beta1 In order to support performance tests and deployment testing Arquillian needs to be able to deliver raw archives to the tests being run inside a container. * For performance tests it's important to measure exactly the amount of time a deployment might take and this measurement should not be polluted with the time it takes a client to construct a bundle and the time spent in sending the archive over a socket to the test running in the container. * For deployment tests, the test itself needs to directly exercise the deployment APIs using test archives, it cannot let the Arquillian framework do this. This is currently possible in the OSGiContainerImpl class in the getTestArchive() method https://github.com/jbosgi/arquillian/blob/jbosgi/protocols/osgi/src/main/... however this functionality is currently limited to OSGi deployments only. To be able to implement this properly, Shrinkwrap needs to be capable of running in a module system such as OSGi, so this issue depends on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-242 .
