Arquillian Weld EE NullPointerException (invoking method) EAR - jboss-arquillian

Question

I am trying to test with Arquillian + WELD EE in an (ShrinkWrap)EnterpriseArchive.
But I am getting a NullPointerException when I start invoking the method.

My testclass
#RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class NewSessionBeanTest {
public NewSessionBeanTest() {
}
#Deployment
public static Archive<?> createDeployment() {
final JavaArchive ejbJar = ShrinkWrap
.create(JavaArchive.class, "ejb-jar.jar")
.addClass(NewSessionBean.class)
.addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");
final WebArchive testWar = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war")
.addClass(NewSessionBeanTest.class)
.addAsManifestResource("META-INF/test-web-beans.xml", "beans.xml")
;
final EnterpriseArchive ear = ShrinkWrap.create(EnterpriseArchive.class)
.setApplicationXML("META-INF/test-application.xml")
.addAsModule(ejbJar)
.addAsModule(testWar);
return ear;
}
#Inject
NewSessionBean sessionBean;
#Test
public void testBusinessMethod() throws Exception {
assertNotNull(sessionBean);
// With Weld-EE it gives NullPointerException here
sessionBean.businessMethod();
}
}
It fails at sessionBean.businessMethod();, there is an proxy inserted so assertNotNull passes. When I use arquillian-weld-se-embedded-1.1 (SE), then I get an error could not inject members.
This works perfectly when I test this with a wildfly-embedded container.
UPDATE: My NewSessionBean class is #Stateless + #LocalBean (also tested without #LocalBean. When I test this with #ApplicationScoped it works, but it's not what I want.
Also if I test it #Named or with #LocalBean it works. But these are non-EJB specifications.
Found test on: http://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/index.php?source_dir=arquillian-container-weld-master/weld-ee-embedded-1.1/src/test/java/org/jboss/arquillian/container/weld/ee/embedded_1_1/WeldEmbeddedIntegrationEARTestCase.java
UPDATE 2: I have found a workaround for this. Changing to WELD SE and adding ear.merge(ejbJar) to the Test works for the weld profile and Wildfly Managed profile.
Still I don't consider this as a solution, because I think it should be supported by WELD-EE.
