Re: [glassfish-dev] GlassFish Fails with Arquillian

[Reza Rahman <reza_rahman@xxxxxxxx>]

I’ll try as soon as I get a moment. A new theory I have is that this is Windows Defender causing problems by locking newly created files for scanning. That’s why it’s random. My Microsoft super duper secure machine may not allow me to turn off Windows Defender. The GlassFish version probably just makes things marginally worse with Defender somehow. My other Windows machine is personal and doesn’t have the annoying and useless virus scanner on it. Things are fine there.

Hantsy may also be onto something with the timeout thing. I did try all the timeout settings I know about, but maybe there’s one I don’t know?

I checked the code and we did a change in 7.0.23 to support Windows SSH nodes: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/commit/7d657198e4fde648331bd441abb94726d2ad8ff8. On Windows, we now change the command line in the prepareWindowsEnvironment to write the command into a powershell script, and execute it via powershell, instead of executing directly. Maybe this is not stable enough, and you see even worse behavior with 7.0.23. That doesn't explain the issues with 7.0.22.

I tried installing a Windows server in AWS, with Temurin Temurin-17.0.8+7, and run mvnw install -Pglassfish -Dglassfish.version=7.0.23 on the current master without any issues, the tests pass. I see that 7.0.23 prints the following into the log: Executing: powershell.exe -noninteractive -File ... followed by the path to the powershell file. I ran all successfully also with 7.0.22, which doesn't use powershell. I tried it several times and always successfully.

Can you check the server.log of GlassFish when you get an unsuccessful run? The exception you attached doesn't explain why the issue happened, only that the start-domain was not successfully executed.

Running with Embedded GlassFish would be an alternative, however, there's no official Arquillian connector for it. Only an OmniFish Arquillian connector. We were discussing with Arjan, and because of license issues (it contains files copyrighted by Oracla and Payara, and license under CDDL and GPL), we're not able to donate it to Eclipse GlassFish project. But it should be possible to use it as a binary dependency in GlassFish project, and create new Arquillian container in the Eclipse GlassFish project, that would include it as a dependency and just wrap it.

This is simply bizarre. I am out of time this morning but I will validate this observation in the evening.

This entire problem started with an attempted upgrade to 7.0.22 (looks like by someone who did not test on Windows). It's worse with 7.0.23. It seems to not be a problem in 7.0.21.

This is 7.0.22. I can try an upgrade today.

Quick question, which gf version do you use?

We fixed many these issues for 7.0.23.

So by sheer amount of random trial and error I was able to reduce the instances of this happening: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/cargotracker/commit/733884ef435290113a70958fd7922d34a2b83362. It is still happening intermittently. It looks like some kind of low level file locking and/or permissions issue. I'll keep trying but honestly I could use some real help.

I would still be very keen on moving to GlassFish Embedded in a way that's proper for an Eclipse Foundation project if that's possible instead. This problem can be someone else's headache to solve.

Also tried the following, it works fine:

I did notice that if GlassFish was not shut down completely, I get this:

Waiting finished after 60,001 ms.
No response from the Domain Administration Server (domain1) after 60 seconds.
The command is either taking too long to complete or the server has failed.
Please see the server log files for command status.

I'll try to pin down under what exact conditions this happens. It's not easy to reproduce. This is easier to reproduce manually:

There is a process already using the admin port 4,848 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.

This is the output I get:

This still could be an issue, but at least the above works.

Hi,

It looks like a rather basic thing:

"org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.client.container.LifecycleException: Unable to execute [C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.8.101-hotspot\bin\java.exe, -jar, C:\GitHub\cargotracker\target\glassfish7\glassfish\modules\admin-cli.jar, start-domain, -t]"

Can you double check if the JDK is indeed at that location?

Kind regards,

Can you try if it also happens on Linux/Mac? When I run the BookingServiceTest test with "maven test -Pglassfish" on master branch on Linux, it works.

I suspect that the problem is only on Windows, can you confirm it, Reza?

When I try with the OmniFish plugin, I get a slightly different error with the same overall symptoms. The stack trace is attached.

Thanks very much for taking a look. I can try the OmniFish plugin as a test.

However, I cannot use it in the project in relation to GlassFish. I must use something in the GlassFish or Arquillian domain instead. I’ve already checked with the EMO on this. My hope would be that either the Arquillian plugin is properly maintained or a plugin is created within the GlassFish project. Alternatively, I would not mind adding support for an OmniFish branded runtime. That’s also something that the EMO has suggested.

Hi,

I haven't tried anything yet, but from a cursory glance at master the first thing that stands out is that for GlassFish an alpha version of the unmaintained JBoss Arquillian connector is used, that was only suited for GlassFish 6:

 <dependency>
          <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.container</groupId>
          <artifactId>arquillian-glassfish-managed-6</artifactId>
          <version>1.0.0.Alpha1</version>
          <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Maybe that could explain some?

You could try with:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.omnifaces.arquillian</groupId>
            <artifactId>arquillian-glassfish-server-managed</artifactId>
            <version>1.7</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms

Hello,

The Cargo Tracker project (https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/cargotracker)
has tried to support GlassFish but once again I am running into seeming
stability issues. While running tests with Arquillian, the attached
issue now suddenly crops up. I have absolutely no idea what is going on.
Honestly, this sort of thing never happens with Payara or Liberty, which
are the two other runtimes Cargo Tracker supports.

Is there someone here that can help? Otherwise I will remove GlassFish
support from Cargo Tracker for now.

Thanks,

Reza
