[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQ-1944) Linkage error with arquillian-junit.jar

[Chris Rankin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1944?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13156576#comment-13156576 ] 

Chris Rankin commented on ARQ-1944:
-----------------------------------

In my _particular_ case, I am deploying a ROOT.war file into an embedded Tomcat and then testing its HTTP endpoints. This means that I don't really need the Arquillian JARs to be packaged into my WAR at all! I can therefore do this:

{code}@Deployment(testable = false)
public static WebArchive createDeployment() {
    return ShrinkWrap.creaste(WebArchive.class, "ROOT.war")
        ...;
}
{code}

And then annotate all of my test cases as:
{code}@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
@RunAsClient
public class MyTestCaseIT {
    ...
}
{code}
The point here is that {{@Deployment(testable = false)}} effectively stops Arquillian from including the extra and unwanted Hamcrest artifact.

> Testing a WAR in embedded Tomcat >= 7.0.51 using Restassured, JUnit and Hamcrest matchers. (TestNG works fine).

> This error can be resolved in three different ways:
> - Rewrite the test using TestNG
> - Rewrite the test without using any Hamcrest matchers.
> - Remove "org.hamcrest" from {{org.jboss.arquillian.junit.container.JUnitDeploymentAppender}}.
