Answer 1

My guess is that you are trying to use a persistence.xml declaring a jta-data-source in a unit test context (i.e. in a Java SE context).

In other words, you’re not using an appropriate persistence.xml for a testing context. You need a specific persistence.xml using a RESOURCE_LOCAL transaction type and configure it to use a built-in connection pool (instead of a datasource).

Show your persistence.xml if you need more guidance.
