Steve Storck created ARQ-2016: --------------------------------- Summary: Test extensions should be separate from OSGi Container extensions Key: ARQ-2016 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-2016 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Feature Request Components: OSGi Containers Affects Versions: osgi_2.1.0.Final Environment: Under Linux, and inside Karaf 4.x Reporter: Steve Storck Assignee: Thomas Diesler When the karaf container extension is deployed, it also deploys the arquillian-osgi-bundle. This bundle exposes a few APIs, but it contains (and does not expose) some of the implementation and SPI packages. This effectively results in only being able to use the provided JUnitBundleTestRunner extension. I want to use the arquillian-testrunner-spock extension, but it always fails because I have to deploy the test SPI bundle with my test jar, and it conflicts with those packages that the arquillian-osgi-bundle uses internally. This causes an exception to be thrown that complains that the EventTestRunnerAdaptor implementation is not an instance of the TestRunnerAdaptor interface. The chain of events that results in the exception is as follows: ArquillianSputnik.java {code:java} public void run(RunNotifier notifier) // Code omitted for brevity final TestRunnerAdaptor adaptor = TestRunnerAdaptorBuilder.build(); // More code omitted for brevity { {code} TestRunnerAdaptor.java {code:java} public static TestRunnerAdaptor build() { // omitted lines for brevity ManagerBuilder builder = ManagerBuilder.from() .extension(SecurityActions.loadClass(DEFAULT_EXTENSION_CLASS)); return SecurityActions.newInstance( TEST_RUNNER_IMPL_CLASS, new Class<?>[] {ManagerBuilder.class}, new Object[] {builder}, TestRunnerAdaptor.class); } {code} SecurityActions.java {code:java} static <T> T newInstance(final String className, final Class<?>[] argumentTypes, final Object[] arguments, final Class<T> expectedType) { @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") Class<T> implClass = (Class<T>) loadClass(className); if (!expectedType.isAssignableFrom(implClass)) { throw new RuntimeException("Loaded class " + className + " is not of expected type " + expectedType); } return newInstance(implClass, argumentTypes, arguments); } {code} I think that the best solution would be to completely decouple the JUnitTestRunner from the container modules, or at the very least, it would be good to change the <_exportcontents> to export most (or all) of the embedded dependency packages so that users can make use of other extensions, or build their own. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
