Re: [jboss-as7-dev] Coping with cyclic test dependencies
Brian,
I don't think forwards compatibility can be guaranteed. We've had a few problems
in the past where the the jboss-as-arquillian-container-managed dependency was set to a
different version of AS7 to that which we were testing against.
Here's a specific example: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-1243 and
https://github.com/jbosstm/quickstart/pull/18/files for the fix. In this example we were
using the jboss-javaee-6.0-with-tools bom to get the jboss-as-arquillian-container-managed
dependency version. This bom set the version to 7.1.1.Final, which failed to work with
7.2.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT. So, in this case we would need to match up the releases.
I don't recall the specifics of other occasions, but it's certainly happened to us
a few times.
Paul.

Does JBossTS need to use the same arquillian container version as is
included with the latest AS? I'm no Arquillian expert, but it seems like
if that's required something has gone wrong with our Arquillian
integration. Seems like the idea would be to make these containers
forward compatible.
Apologies if I'm all wet here.
