Arquillian Drone completely ignores Before After BeforeClass AfterClass annotations - webdriver

Question

I'm trying to use Arquillian Drone to driver my tests, however, for some reason annotations #Before, #After, #BeforeClass and #AfterClass are completely ignored.
I'm new to this Java/jUnit/Arquillian environment (always been working with Python), so I might be making some stupid mistake here.
import org.jboss.arquillian.drone.api.annotation.Drone;
import org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import com.eyereturn.warlock.client.pages.login.LoginPage;
#RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class TestDroneLogin {
#Drone
private WebDriver driver;
#Before
public void setup(){
driver.navigate().to("http://google.com");
}
#Test
public void testInput(){
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input#gbqfq"));
}
}

Answer 1

Looks like this is an ongoing problem with Arquillian Standalone version.
the bug is open here, however has not received any attention since August 14, 2012.
The workaround is to use "Arquillian JUnit Container" version in pom.xml instead of "Arquillian JUnit Standalone":
<!-- Arquillian JUnit Container -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
<artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
<version>1.0.3.Final</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
This seems to work for me.
NOTE: When using #BeforeClass with Drone watch out the this bug
