SeamTest causing NPE when run in multi-module Maven project on Linux -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3638 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3638 Project: Seam Issue Type: Patch Components: Test Harness Affects Versions: 2.1.0.GA Environment: Linux, Java 1.5.0_13, Maven 2.0.8, Surefire 2.4.3 Reporter: Petr Nejedly Assignee: Shane Bryzak Fix For: 2.1.1.CR1 Hi, we have a multi-module Maven setup and running tests in test and integration-test phases. We're using Embedded EJB container for the integration tests. Since migrating to Seam 2.1.0.GA, SeamTest based tests are failing during startSeam(), more precisely createServletContext(). It's trying to instantiate MockServletContext, causing NPE on line: webappRoot = new File(getClass().getResource("/").toURI()); This is only happening, however, when run on Linux machine from the parent pom file (works on Windows every time and on Linux when run from a sub-project). Basically the NPE is caused by getResource("/") returning null. Seems to be working when replaced by: webappRoot = new File(getClass().getResource("/.").toURI()); I'm a bit stuck here, since this code is in the default constructor of the MockServletContext class so overwriting it will not help.
