Running a QuarkusTest class like this

returns

java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal error. The test class class ch.elexis.core.tasks.test.TaskServiceTest should have been loaded with a QuarkusClassLoader, but instead it was loaded with jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader@2c854dc5. This is caused by the FacadeClassLoader not correctly identifying this class as a QuarkusTest.

while running a test on the classes test method works (tested clicking on #runnableExecutionContext()) with result

%TESTC  1 v2

Hi @col-panic, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Workaround & Suggestions

• Run the test class through Maven/Surefire instead of the VS Code Test Explorer, which will correctly wire up the QuarkusClassLoader:

  mvn test -Dtest=TaskServiceTest

• In VS Code you can click the ▶️ icon on individual test methods (#runnableExecutionContext(), etc.)—these correctly start under the QuarkusClassLoader.

• Track and subscribe to the upstream issue where class‐level runs aren’t recognized as QuarkusTests:

  • java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal error. The test class SOMECLASS should have been loaded with a QuarkusClassLoader, but instead... redhat-developer/vscode-quarkus#1111

Other references with low confidence

- **Error messages append out of the method when it happens at lifecycle methods** – deals with stack-trace placement, not class-loading for QuarkusTests. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-test/issues/1392 - **When running debug, test dependencies are not included but test codes are.** – about missing test classpath entries under debug, not QuarkusClassLoader. https://github.com//issues/1326

The team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!
