             Summary: Subsystem testing framework does not handle dependencies of old subsystem versions correctly.
                 Key: WFLY-2048
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2048
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Test Suite
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Alpha4
            Reporter: Paul Ferraro
            Assignee: Kabir Khan


When upgrading to Infinispan 6.0, I had to @Ignore the following test:
org.jboss.as.clustering.infinispan.subsystem.InfinispanSubsystemTransformerTestCase

The subsystem test framework attempt to run old versions of the infinispan subsystem against the dependencies of the current subsystem version.

On another note - I find this framework very cumbersome to debug when things go wrong since there is no output from starting the server.  So, all I know is it failed, without any indication why.  In my case, I add debug logging to the add operation handler and find that the add operation handlers throw NoClassDefFoundErrors and NoSuchMethodErrors, due to the framework attempting to use the 7.2 and 7.1.x versions of the subsystem with the dependencies from 8.0.  In the case of Infinispan 6.0, there are API changes that render it incompatible with the 7.2 and 7.1.x versions of the subsystem.
