jbossHome is missing slashes using windows

[CSchulz]

Hello,

I have tried to set up my first project and got following exception. The folder exists if you add the directory seperator. But it seems to get lost under windows.

My arquillian.xml just contains the target.

Caused by: org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.ConfigurationException: jbossHome 'C:businesstargetserverwildfly-dist_8.2.0.Finalwildfly-8.2.0.Final' must exist

Hmm, not sure why this would happen.

The value should be resolved from here:
https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-chameleon/blob/master/src/main/java/org/arquillian/container/chameleon/controller/DistributionController.java#L67

And set on this object and validated here:
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-arquillian/blob/master/common/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/arquillian/container/DistributionContainerConfiguration.java#L100

I currently don't have access to a Windows machine, but if you would be willing to debug this I'm happy to help/guide/fix it. 👍

I have summarized the failsafe plugin execution http://pastebin.com/4KAuDwsX

If you have more details how I can deliver more debug information, tell me please.

@CSchulz are you setting jbossHome in Java like this:

   String jbossHome = "C:\business\target\server\wildfly-dist_8.2.0.Final\wildfly-8.2.0.Final";
   ...
   // configure arquillian with jbossHome
   ...

?

All those single backslashes will disappear because they behave as escape characters. You need to double them up:

  String jbossHome = "C:\\business\\target\\server\\wildfly-dist_8.2.0.Final\\wildfly-8.2.0.Final";

@sfcoy To my understanding he only defines the chameleonTarget configuration to 'something' managed, so chameleon should extract the dist zip into some folder and set the jbossHome automatically. The extraction is done here https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-chameleon/blob/master/src/main/java/org/arquillian/container/chameleon/controller/DistributionController.java#L67 and the setting of the variable is here https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-chameleon/blob/master/src/main/java/org/arquillian/container/chameleon/controller/DistributionController.java#L87

All that is File/String stuff in Java so with out debugging the running code i'm not sure where the slashes are removed. Unless new File(dist.getAbsolutePath()).exists is an issue..

[CSchulz]

@aslakknutsen is correct.

DistributionController.updateTargetConfiguration:
values: "dist" -> "C:\...\target\server\wildfly-dist_8.2.0.Final\wildfly-8.2.0.Final"

ContainerDefImpl.overrideProperty gets the value without backslashes. So the backslashes are "forgotten" when calling targetAdapter.resolveConfiguration(values).entrySet() in DistributionController.updateTargetConfiguration.

The cause can be found in ContainerAdapter.resolve(String parameter, String value, String target). The replaceAll is the reason.

I think it would be good to store the path escaped directly in the updateTargetConfiguration method.
