How to select a container by qualifyer from arquillian.xml?

Question

I want to have different container configurations in my arquillian.xml and select them in my test. But I am unable to load any container but the default one.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<arquillian
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian http://www.jboss.org/schema/arquillian/arquillian_1_0.xsd">

    <container qualifier="weld" default="false">
    </container>
</arquillian>

Test case:

@Deployment(name="depl1")
@TargetsContainer("weld")
public static JavaArchive createTestArchive() throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    return ShrinkWrap
            .create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar")
            .addClasses(SomeOtherCdiService.class)
            .addAsManifestResource(new ByteArrayAsset(beansXmlContent.getBytes("utf-8")), ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"));
}

@Test
@OperateOnDeployment("depl1")
public void shouldBeAbleToInjectInject() {
    assertNotNull(someOtherCdiService);
}

But the tests does not start because Arquilian does not find the container

org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.impl.client.deployment.ValidationException: DeploymentScenario contains targets not matching any defined Container in the registry. weld. Possible causes are: No Deployable Container found on Classpath or your have defined a @org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api.Deployment with a @org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api.TargetsContainer value that does not match any found/configured Containers (see arquillian.xml container@qualifier)

I have had a look into the source and found that Aquilian in only finding the _DEFAULT_ Container.

The tests work, when I remove @TargetsContainer("weld") from the deployer method. So I think the general test is ok.

The tests also work if I modify the container configuration to default="true" (<container qualifier="weld" default="ture">) then the tests work, so I think the configuration file is loaded.

Does anybody has an Idea what is going wrong?

Answer 1

If you set the arquillian.launch system property from maven via a surefire config to the container you want to launch that will work. You can see what we've done in Solder at https://github.com/seam/solder/blob/develop/testsuite/pom.xml

Answer 2

You see your requested solution here: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ARQ/Container+config+runtime+selection Link your maven profile with the arquillian-launch property to select the container from arquillian.xml
