I’m attempting to run Arquillian Tests but it is failing with the error

org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.client.container.DeploymentException: Failed to talk to the application 'JIRA' at http://localhost:2990/jira
Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: timeout
Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Socket closed

in the build output I see…

I never see a “jira started successfully in XXXs at http://localhost:2990/jira” message like I see when I do a jira:run

Well it’s been an extremely frustrating journey but I finally got there in the end. I felt like a blind man with no fingers fumbling in the dark. I’m not sure what combination of changes lead to it working but a significant one was changing the annotations on my service.
