Arquillian with Payara Micro connector 1.1: NullPointer

I can't get this simple test to work with Arquillian and Payara.

I have the templates from the pyara blog (Blogpost) and I have no idea what the problem is.

HelloWorld.java

public class HelloWorld {

    public String sayHello() {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}

HelloWorldTest

import org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api.Deployment;
import org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ShrinkWrap;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.spec.JavaArchive;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;


@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class HelloWorldTest {


    @Deployment
    public static JavaArchive createDeployment() {
        return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class)
                .addClass(HelloWorld.class);
    }


    @Test()
    public void sayHelloTest() {
        HelloWorld helloWorld = new HelloWorld();
        Assert.assertEquals(helloWorld.sayHello(), "Hello World");
    }
}

The HelloworldTest should pass, but i get HelloWorldTest.HelloWorldTest » NullPointer

I don't know how to further simplify it and think there is a configuration error?

So the problem is caused by the payara arquillian connector. Version 1.1 and 1.2-Snapshot have this bug.

You shoud use 1.0Beta3 as rieckpil in his answer show.

I have rasied a Issue on Github and this bug is confirmed. (PAYARA-3991) Gihub Issue.

So hopefully this will be fixed soon.
