Adding all Maven dependencies to Arquillian

Question

How do you add all dependencies in the POM to arquillian?

Maven.resolver().loadPomFromFile("pom.xml").importRuntimeDependencies()
                .as(File.class);

I found that line, but I Maven is red in intellij because it doesn't find the class. I don't know which dependencies I need. Or are there better ways?

Answer 1

Adding Arquillian dependencies

Add Arquillian dependencies to your pom.xml:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian</groupId>
            <artifactId>arquillian-bom</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.8.Final</version>
            <scope>import</scope>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Add the ShrinkWrap resolver (Maven implementation) to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.shrinkwrap.resolver</groupId>
    <artifactId>shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

If you are using JUnit, add the Arquillian JUnit container to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Importing Maven dependencies

In your test class, within the method annotated with @Deployment, import the runtime dependencies with the following line:

File[] files = Maven.resolver().loadPomFromFile("pom.xml")
        .importRuntimeDependencies().resolve().withTransitivity().asFile();

And add the dependencies to your deploy using the method addAsLibraries(files):

WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
                           .addClass(MyClass1.class)
                           .addClass(MyClass2.class)
                           .addClass(MyClass3.class)
                           .addAsLibraries(files);

This is how your test class will look like if you are using JUnit

import org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api.Deployment;
import org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ShrinkWrap;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.asset.EmptyAsset;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.spec.WebArchive;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.resolver.api.maven.Maven;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import java.io.File;

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class MyTestClassWithMavenDependencies {

    @Deployment
    public static WebArchive createDeployment() {

        // Import Maven runtime dependencies
        File[] files = Maven.resolver()
                            .loadPomFromFile("pom.xml")
                            .importRuntimeDependencies()
                            .resolve()
                            .withTransitivity()
                            .asFile();

        // Create deploy file    
        WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
                                   .addClass(MyClass1.class)
                                   .addClass(MyClass2.class)
                                   .addClass(MyClass3.class)
                                   .addAsLibraries(files);

        // Show the deploy structure
        System.out.println(war.toString(true)); 

        return war;
    }

    // Create your tests here
}
