LRA TckRecoveryTests used with -Dit.test fails with IllegalArgumentException: Cannot parse java VM arguments ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBTM-3283 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JBTM-3283 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: LRA Affects Versions: 5.10.4.Final Reporter: Ondrej Chaloupka Assignee: Ondrej Chaloupka Priority: Major When the LRA TCK is run with {{-Dit.test}} e.g. {{mvn clean verify -Parq -Dit.test=TckRecoveryTests#testCancelWhenParticipantIsUnavailable}} then it fails with {code} ava.lang.RuntimeException: Could not create statement Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not lookup value for field private java.net.URL org.eclipse.microprofile.lra.tck.TckRecoveryTests.deploymentURL Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot parse java VM arguments -Dthorntail.http.host=localhost -Dthorntail.http.port=8180 -Dlra.tck.coordinator.hostname=localhost -Dlra.tck.coordinator.port=8080 -Dlra.http.host=localhost -Dlra.http.port=8080 -Dlra.tck.consistency.shortDelay=1000 -Dlra.tck.consistency.longDelay=20000 {code} The trouble is that Arquillian (in particular it could be the Thorntail Arquillian adapter) is not capable to parse multiple spaces in the VM args. https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/blob/5.10.4.Final/rts/lra/lra-test/lr... Ie. in the stup there could happen to be resolved to {code} <property name="javaVmArguments">{space}{space}{space}{space}-Dthorntail.http.host=localhost ... {code} Those multiple spaces seems to do some troubles
