[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQGRA-382) @InitialPage does not work for Field

[Karel Piwko (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQGRA-382?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12808115#comment-12808115 ] 

Karel Piwko commented on ARQGRA-382:
------------------------------------

Given that *initial ~ existing or occurring at the beginning*, this can be both understood as BeforeClass (my understanding) and Before (your understanding). However, all other fields in tests preserve the state among tests, so Before would be an exception.

That said, I would either prefer to remove the possibility of annotating a field or making a paramater to @InitialPage, which would additionally alter it's behavior - e.g. where do you want URL to be fired, which some reasonable default identified by broader audience.

Nice Enhancement for post 2.0.0.GA release?
