cannot run GWTTestCases with surefire -------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-508 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-508 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Bug Components: classloading Affects Versions: 2.4.3 Reporter: nicolas de loof GWTTestCase require some complex setup, as tje GWT compiler requires acces to the java sources, and classpath scanning for available jars at runtime : <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <additionalClasspathElements> <additionalClasspathElement>src/main/java</additionalClasspathElement> <additionalClasspathElement>src/test/java</additionalClasspathElement> <additionalClasspathElement>target/generated-sources/gwt</additionalClasspathElement> </additionalClasspathElements> <useManifestOnlyJar>false</useManifestOnlyJar> <systemProperties> <property> <name>gwt.args</name> <value>-out target/www-test</value> </property> </systemProperties> <argLine>-Xmx256M</argLine> </configuration> </plugin> Even with this configuration, the test fails with a tomcat ClassCastException "GWTShellServlet is not a Servlet" I may be wrong, but it seems the useManifestOnlyJar=false mode still uses the tmp file classpath elements to build it's classpath, and not the system classpath. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
