PaxExam fails to run on Java 8?

[Richard Bair]

Hi,

We are looking to try to use PaxExam for running OSGi tests (using TestNG). We have managed to get a simple example running on Java 7, however our project uses Java 8, and with Java 8 we are getting the following in our log:

Gradle test > foo.AbstractApplicationTest.testUUIDIdempotency STANDARD_ERROR
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unresolved constraint in bundle org.ops4j.pax.exam.extender.service [3]: Unable to resolve 3.0: missing requirement [3.0] package; (&(package=org.ops4j.pax.swis
sbox.core)(version>=1.6.0)(!(version>=2.0.0))) [caused by: Unable to resolve 7.0: missing requirement [7.0] package; (&(package=org.ops4j.lang)(version>=1.4.0)) [caused by: Unable to resolve 6.0: miss

at org.apache.felix.framework.StartLevelImpl.run(StartLevelImpl.java:266)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744)

I'm wondering if anybody has done any testing of PaxExam on Java 8 yet? It looks like a manifest entry that maybe needs to be updated? What is the release schedule for PaxExam, how long would it be between a fix and an official release?

Thanks
Richard

I would guess the problem is related to Felix, not to Pax Exam. I've run parts of Pax Exam's own regression tests under Java 8 and Equinox without problems.

Felix contains a properties file defining the system packages per Java release. I'm seeing similar messages with Felix 4.0.2, which does not provide package definitions for Java 8.

Hope that helps,
Harald

Thank you Harald, I will check that out.

For the record, Felix 4.4.0 is working fine with Java 1.8.0_05 (tested
with Pax Exam 3.5.0).

Best regards,
Harald
