JUnit – arquillian: wildly embedded?

So far, I have used arquillian and embedded GlassFish 4 X has been tested When I encountered the bug arq-1458, I tried to migrate to wildly 8.0 0.Beta1.

My tribe in Maven is:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-bom</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.2.Final</version>
    <scope>import</scope>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.wildfly</groupId>
    <artifactId>wildfly-arquillian-container-embedded</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.0.Beta1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.wildfly</groupId>
    <artifactId>wildfly-embedded</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.0.Beta1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

When running the test, the error I received was that jbosshome was null I don't have arquillian xml. When checking that the GitHub source is wildfly arquillian container embedded (POM), I want to know why the embedded container needs JBoss_ HOME？ I understand in order to manage and remote variants, but why do I need an embedded one? The arquillian page only has JBoss as as an example of a managed server, so I wonder if it is possible (but why is there wildfly arquillian container embedded?)?

Or should I use Maven dependency plugin to hold the managed container to download the container (see http://arquillian.org/guides/getting_started/#add_more_containers – bottom)?

Thanks and best regards!

The exact error is:

Solution

The environment variable JBoss should be_ Home is set as the JBoss installation path Otherwise, the label attribute should be added to arquillian in the container label XML

<arquillian xmlns="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian
    http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian/arquillian_1_0.xsd">


<container qualifier="jboss" default="true">
    <configuration>
        <property name="jbossHome">/path/to/jboss/as</property>
    </configuration>
</container>
