How does Arquillian work?
Arquillian is an integration and functional testing platform that can be used for Java middleware testing. With the main goal of making integration (and functional) tests as simple to write as unit tests, it brings the tests to the runtime environment, freeing developers from managing the runtime from within the test.
What must you annotate an Arquillian integration test class with?
Write Our First Arquillian Test. If we’re going to run our tests inside a container, we need to use the @Deployment annotation. Arquillian does not use the entire classpath to isolate the test archive. Instead, it uses the ShrinkWrap class, that is a Java API for creating archives.
What is @RunWith Arquillian class?
The @RunWith annotation tells JUnit to use Arquillian as the test controller. Arquillian then looks for a public static method annotated with the @Deployment annotation to retrieve the test archive (i.e., micro-deployment). Then some magic happens and each @Test method is run inside the container environment.
How do you run an Arquillian test in eclipse?
In Eclipse, if I right-click on an Arquillian test file and select: Run as → JUnit Test, the test appears to ignore the “jboss-managed” of the surefire plugin. Running the test from command line Maven will work.
