Pax-exam 4 no felix() method

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I had been using the following code snippet for OSGi tests in EclipseLink project with Pax Exam 3.3.0:

@Configuration
public static Option[] config() {
    return options(
            repositories("http://repo1.maven.org/maven2"),
            mavenBundle().groupId("org.osgi").artifactId("org.osgi.compendium").version("4.3.0"),
            mavenBundle().groupId("org.eclipse.persistence").artifactId("org.eclipse.persistence.asm")
                    .version("2.5.1"),
            //JAXB API
            bundle("file:" + PLUGINS_DIR + "javax.xml.bind_2.2.12.v201410011542.jar"),
            //WS API
            bundle("file:" + PLUGINS_DIR + "javax.ws.rs_1.1.1.v20101004-1200.jar"),
            //EclipseLink bundles
            bundle("file:" + PLUGINS_DIR + "org.eclipse.persistence.moxy_2.7.0." + QUALIFIER + ".jar"),
            bundle("file:" + PLUGINS_DIR + "org.eclipse.persistence.core_2.7.0." + QUALIFIER + ".jar"),
            bundle("file:" + PLUGINS_DIR + "org.eclipse.persistence.asm_5.0.1.v201405080102.jar"),

            junitBundles(),
            felix());
}

Now, we switched the build to JDK 8 and I am using Pax Exam 4.4.0, because Pax Exam 3.x does not build with JDK 8. My issue is that Pax Exam 4 no longer provides the convenient org.ops4j.pax.exam.CoreOptions.felix() method. How can I go around this issue? My goal is to run OSGi tests with the least configuration possible.

If I remove the felix() method, I get the following error:
