Running JUnit with Arquillian on tomcat remote 7 tries to load ...remote_6.TomcatRemoteExtension - tomcat7

Question

I want to run my test with Arquillian on tomcat remote 7. Here's a very simple example to reproduce my issue.
pom dependencies:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
<artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1.Final</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.container</groupId>
<artifactId>arquillian-tomcat-remote-7</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.CR5</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>${servlet.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
arqullian.xml:
http://jboss.org/schema/arquillian/arquillian_1_0.xsd">
<container qualifier="tomcat-remote-7">
<configuration>
<property name="host">localhost</property>
<property name="jmxPort">8089</property>
<property name="bindHttpPort">8080</property>
<property name="user">arquillian</property>
<property name="pass">arquillian</property>
</configuration>
</container>
SimpleTest.java
#RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class SimpleTest {
#Deployment
#OverProtocol("Servlet 3.0")
public static Archive<WebArchive> createDeployment() {
File warFile = new File("../myproject/target/mywar.war");
WebArchive webArchive = ShrinkWrap.createFromZipFile(WebArchive.class, warFile);
return webArchive;
}
#Test
public void testSimple() {
assertTrue(true);
}
}
After running the SimpleTest I get long stacktrace, where in the end I see:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.jboss.arquillian.container.tomcat.remote_6.TomcatRemoteExtension
I wonder why it tries to load TomcatRemoteExtension for version 6 when I have in the dependency version 7

Answer 1

It looks like the extension is not properly registered.
Look for the file META-INF/services/org.jboss.arquillian.core.spi.LoadableExtension inside arquillian-tomcat-remote-7.jar and edit it.
You should see the incorrect reference to remote_6. Change it to remote_7 and everything should work as expected.
It seems to be already fixed in master: https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-tomcat/commit/3084c7f1be4320cc4e795385e4513f25f6d5a0e0
