Dependency on org.reflections:reflections:0.9.11 causes exception "could not scan file arquillian.xml"

[mark1900]

Documenting an issue I had with a downstream dependency - ronmamo/reflections#235

---

I get the following exception when combining

• Eclipse Photon (4.8.0)
• Wildfly 11
• org.eu.ingwar.tools:arquillian-suite-extension:1.1.4 (which depends on org.reflections:reflections:0.9.11)
• org.jboss.arquillian:arquillian-bom:1.1.13.Final

My current workaround

        <artifactId>arquillian-suite-extension</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.4</version>

This issue could be related to ronmamo/reflections#15, ronmamo/reflections#184.

This workaround does not work for me.

[mark1900]

@kullmanp Do you still still see this exception - IOException: bad magic number ?

FYI, I was able to upgrade to org.eu.ingwar.tools:arquillian-suite-extension:1.2.0 using the same workaround of setting the org.reflections:reflections:0.9.11 dependency.

My current configuration

• Eclipse Photon (4.8.0)

• Wildfly 13

• org.eu.ingwar.tools:arquillian-suite-extension:1.2.0 (which depends on org.reflections:reflections:0.9.11)

• org.jboss.arquillian:arquillian-bom:1.4.0.Final

• I had to utilize the following configuration for Wildfly 12 and 13 support - https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-chameleon/pull/93/files

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.wildfly.arquillian</groupId>
	<artifactId>wildfly-arquillian-container-managed</artifactId>
	<version>2.1.1.Final</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

• To workaround a .war dependency issue I had to set the following version - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKRES-290

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.jboss.shrinkwrap.resolver</groupId>
	<artifactId>shrinkwrap-resolver-impl-maven</artifactId>
	<version>2.2.4</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

[kullmanp]

@mark1900 yes, I still see it when I'm enabling debug logging.

@kullmanp Just a quick update. I am able to run this successfully against the latest Wildfly 17.0.1.Final release with the following properties.
