Bundle not get activated after installing to Pax-Exam container

I am installing an OSGi bundle to the Pax-Exam Container in a test class , Following is my code segment.

@Configuration
public Option[] config() {

    return options(
 mavenBundle().artifactId("sample-bundle").groupId("org.sample.code").versionAsInProject(),

I have a service registration in my bundle Activator as follows for the above sample-bundle.

bundleContext.registerService(TestCode.class.getName(), testClassInstance, null);

After debugging the test case , found that above bundle is not activated (State Number 32) and it's in resolved state (State number 4). However after I removing the above service registration from the start() method of the bundle, bundle got activated successfully.

Any idea what went wrong here?.

Solution

  • Maybe there is an exception in the Activator. Often these errors are not shown in the log. Use a try catch around it and lot the exception. Besides that I found that you sometimes get a better error message by grabbing and starting your bundle in the test case.
