I am having trouble simply getting the most basic test to work--a single TestNG unit test extending SeamTest with a single method with Assert.assertTrue(true). That's it. No FacesContext simulation or anything remotely complex. It is really frustrating to be having so much trouble with something so basic. Thanks Here is the stack trace of the error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create a KernelInitializer based on the specified KernelConfig | | at org.jboss.kernel.KernelFactory.createKernelInitializer(KernelFactory.java:156) | at org.jboss.kernel.KernelFactory.assembleNewKernel(KernelFactory.java:99) | at org.jboss.kernel.KernelFactory.newInstance(KernelFactory.java:67) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.bootstrap.AbstractBootstrap.bootstrap(AbstractBootstrap.java:120) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.bootstrap.AbstractBootstrap.run(AbstractBootstrap.java:89) | at org.jboss.embedded.Bootstrap.createKernel(Bootstrap.java:131) | at org.jboss.embedded.Bootstrap.getInstance(Bootstrap.java:76) | at org.jboss.seam.mock.EmbeddedBootstrap.startAndDeployResources(EmbeddedBootstrap.java:10) | at org.jboss.seam.mock.BaseSeamTest.startJbossEmbeddedIfNecessary(BaseSeamTest.java:967) | at org.jboss.seam.mock.BaseSeamTest.init(BaseSeamTest.java:892) | at org.jboss.seam.mock.SeamTest.init(SeamTest.java:42) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) | at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) | at org.testng.internal.MethodHelper.invokeMethod(MethodHelper.java:604) | at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeConfigurationMethod(Invoker.java:394) | at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeConfigurations(Invoker.java:142) | at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeConfigurations(Invoker.java:79) | at org.testng.internal.TestMethodWorker.invokeBeforeClassMethods(TestMethodWorker.java:165) | at org.testng.internal.TestMethodWorker.run(TestMethodWorker.java:103) | at org.testng.TestRunner.runWorkers(TestRunner.java:678) | at org.testng.TestRunner.privateRun(TestRunner.java:624) | at org.testng.TestRunner.run(TestRunner.java:495) | at org.testng.SuiteRunner.runTest(SuiteRunner.java:300) | at org.testng.SuiteRunner.runSequentially(SuiteRunner.java:295) | at org.testng.SuiteRunner.privateRun(SuiteRunner.java:275) | at org.testng.SuiteRunner.run(SuiteRunner.java:190) | at org.testng.TestNG.createAndRunSuiteRunners(TestNG.java:792) | at org.testng.TestNG.runSuitesLocally(TestNG.java:765) | at org.testng.TestNG.run(TestNG.java:699) | at org.testng.TestNG.privateMain(TestNG.java:824) | at org.testng.TestNG.main(TestNG.java:802) | Caused by: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.integration.AOPJoinpointFacto | ryBuilder.createJoinpointFactory(Lorg/jboss/reflect/spi/ClassInfo;Lorg/jboss/repository/spi/MetaData | Context;)Lorg/jboss/joinpoint/spi/JoinpointFactory; | at org.jboss.classadapter.plugins.BasicClassAdapter.getJoinpointFactory(BasicClassAdapter.java:85) | at org.jboss.beans.info.plugins.AbstractBeanInfo.getJoinpointFactory(AbstractBeanInfo.java:140) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.config.Configurator.findConstructor(Configurator.java:210) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.config.Configurator.getConstructorJoinPoint(Configurator.java:194) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.config.Configurator.instantiate(Configurator.java:92) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.config.Configurator.instantiateAndConfigure(Configurator.java:68) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.config.property.PropertyKernelConfig.getImplementation(PropertyKernelCo | nfig.java:149) | at org.jboss.kernel.plugins.config.property.PropertyKernelConfig.createKernelInitializer(PropertyKe | rnelConfig.java:117) | at org.jboss.kernel.KernelFactory.createKernelInitializer(KernelFactory.java:150) | ... 32 more View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4118155#...
