Plugin's integration tests cannot use LiferayIntegrationTestRule

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 7.0.0 M5

Trying to use LiferayIntegrationTestRule on plugin integration tests results in failure and a stack trace. Without this rule, annotations such as @DeleteAfterTestRun are useless.

Steps to reproduce

You are expected to have both liferay-portal and liferay-plugins repositories on your machine for these tests.

1. Set up a Liferay bundle with ant -f build-dist.xml setup-testable-tomcat called from liferay-portal
2. Start up Liferay.
3. In liferay-plugins, replace portlets/calendar-portlet/test/integration/com/liferay/calendar/service/CalendarLocalServiceTest.java with the attached version (or fetch the branch from https://github.com/brandizzi/liferay-plugins/commits/LPS-54258)
4. Inside the calendar-portlet project, run ant test-integration

Expected results

• The test would pass

Actual results

• The test fails, the following stack trace is logged:
