Arquillian: Adding beans.xml causes "ArquillianServletRunner not found" - glassfish

Question

I am using Arquillian[1] for testing my J2EE-App in an embedded glassfish environment inside Eclipse[2]-IDE.
package test.java;
import org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api.Deployment;
import org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ArchivePaths;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ShrinkWrap;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.asset.EmptyAsset;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.spec.WebArchive;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
#RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class ArquillianTest {
#Deployment
public static WebArchive createDeployment() {
return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class).addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE,
ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"));
}
#Test
public void test() {
Assert.assertNull(null);
}
}
The test executes fine until I add the showed instruction ".addAsWebInfResource(...)". When doing this, following exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ArquillianServletRunner not found. Could not determine ContextRoot from ProtocolMetadata, please contact DeployableContainer developer.

Without beans.xml, of course, CDI does not work.
How can I avoid this exception?
I have uploaded my pom.xml to http://pastxt.com/P/7IT1VYWBUW
Environment: jdk1.7.0_02 / Win7 / Eclipse Juno SR1

I've taken a look at your POM and your test. The issue appears to be related to GLASSFISH-16964, going by the following log entries:
SLF4J: The requested version 1.5.10 by your slf4j binding is not compatible with [1.6]
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#version_mismatch for further details.
Dec 07, 2012 2:09:59 PM org.glassfish.api.ActionReport failure
SEVERE: Exception while loading the app
Dec 07, 2012 2:09:59 PM org.glassfish.deployment.admin.DeployCommand execute
SEVERE: Exception while loading the app : org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V
You have a few dependencies in your project that pull in v1.6.1 of slf4j-api. That appears to conflict with what embedded GlassFish requires - I believe it is 1.5.10 going by the logs of embedded GlassFish.
To resolve this particular issue, downgrade to the version that keeps GlassFish happy. I added the lower version as a managed dependency.
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
....
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.5.10</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencies>
Of course, this might have an impact on the other libraries that depend on the newer version of slf4-api, so you'll have to watch out for other issues.
The best way to resolve this would be to use the remote or managed GlassFish Arquillian adapter.

ArquillianServletRunner not found. Could not determine ContextRoot from ProtocolMetadata, please contact DeployableContainer developer. seems to indicate that an error occured during the deployment. The message - you can think and express about what you want - has nothing to do with that error (source: https://developer.jboss.org/thread/173340)! You need to access the logs to figure out what's wrong which are either on the console or at a location which is configured in a file which is specified in the system property java.util.logging.config.file, e.g. add
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%4$s: %5$s%n
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=FINEST
In my case it was missing com.google.guava:guava:23.0:test and the issue was unrelated to adding beans.xml as Asset.EMPTY of Shrinkwrap.

Adding the below to the web.xml did the trick for me :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ArquillianServletRunner</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.jboss.arquillian.protocol.servlet.runner.ServletTestRunner</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ArquillianServletRunner</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ArquillianServletRunner</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I had the same problem with Glassfish embedded 3.1.2. But it seems to be fixed in 3.1.2.2.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.main.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
<version>3.1.2.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
