Test enrichment and JUnit @Rule do not harmonize ------------------------------------------------ Key: ARQ-2034 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-2034 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Bug Components: Base Implementation Affects Versions: 1.1.11.Final Environment: junit 4.11 arquillian-junit-container 1.1.11.Final wildfly-arquillian-container-remote 8.1.0.Final Reporter: Björn Kautler Assignee: Matous Jobanek We are starting with Arquillian tests on a remote WildFly instance. I tried to write a JUnit {{@Rule}}, that can be used to make a login call for all test methods automatically, but I was not yet able to make it work, as I need an injected {{@Ejb}} instance for this. I tried to add {{@EJB private InterfaceLoginManagement interfaceLoginManagement;}} to the {{TestRule}} implementation, but it stays {{null}}. I've read at ARQ-1954 that this should probably work, but unfortunately it is not, at least not with the remote container runner. {{org.jboss.arquillian.junit.extension.JUnitCoreExtension}} that should register {{org.jboss.arquillian.junit.extension.UpdateTestResultBeforeAfter}} and {{org.jboss.arquillian.junit.RulesEnricher}} is not even loaded on the container side. Maybe the {{META-INF/services/}} file is missing? Then I tried to simply give the injected instance to the rule from the test class like {code} @EJB private InterfaceLoginManagement interfaceLoginManagement; @Rule private LoginRule loginRule = new LoginRule(interfaceLoginManagement); {code} or even {code} @EJB private InterfaceLoginManagement interfaceLoginManagement; @Rule public LoginRule getLoginRule() { return new LoginRule(() -> { return interfaceLoginManagement; }); } {code} with the {{LoginRule}} receiving a {{Supplier<InterfaceLoginManagement>}} and call it as late as possible, i. e. in the rules {{apply()}} method. But even this is still too early as the EJB is still {{null}} and the test enrichers are only run between the {{@Rule}} applying and {{@Before}} methods. So I'd like to suggest two things: # Fix the implementation of ARQ-1954 if it should work on container side which I assume it should # Make the test enrichments earlier in the lifecycle, i. e. before the {{@Rule}} s are being applied, or rather even before the {{@Rule}} methods are called, so that you at least can use the injected instances in the {{@Rule}} annotated methods to forward them to a rule. This is necessary even if top 1 is taken care of, because you might want to use a 3rd Party rule the code of which you cannot change.
