Arquillian tests fail on JBoss eap 6.1 (but working on JBoss 7.1.1)

Question

I have a problem running my arquillian tests (started by a jenkins job) on a JBoss eap 6.1 server. It's no problem to run the tests on a JBoss 7.1.1 server, but when I switch to the eap 6.1 I get the following exception for all tests:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error launching test at http://0.0.0.0:8080/test/ArquillianServletRunner?outputMode=serializedObject&className=testClass&methodName=testMethod&cmd=event. Got 503 (Service Unavailable)
    at org.jboss.arquillian.protocol.servlet.ServletMethodExecutor.execute(ServletMethodExecutor.java:214)
    at org.jboss.arquillian.protocol.servlet.ServletMethodExecutor$1.run(ServletMethodExecutor.java:243)
    at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:555)
    at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:505)

If I run the tests on a EAP 6.1 server on my local machine everything works fine (it's the same configuration so that can't be a problem).

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

for your jboss container dependency, are you using 7.2.0 or 7.1.1? Also, can you get any logs off of the remote server? – Santasantacruz

Answer 1

I found out that removing<defaultProtocol type="Servlet 3.0"/> from arquillian.xml would fix this problem.
