Arquillian - running tests not working

Question

I am trying to add an test based on arquillian. When I do mvn test I get this error:

Test:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class SomeEntityServiceTest extends ApiTestCase {
    @Inject
    CartStatusService service;

    @Test
    public void testCreate() throws Exception {
        SomeEntity someEntity = new SomeEntity();
        someEntity.setActive(1);

        service.create(someEntity);
    }
}

ApiTestCase:

public class ApiTestCase {

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "myDataSource")
    protected EntityManager em;

    @Deployment
    public static Archive<?> createTestArchive() {
        WebArchive archive = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, “my-service.war")
                .addPackages(true, "com.project")
                .addPackage(ApiTestCase.class.getPackage())
                .addAsResource("META-INF/test-persistence.xml", "META-INF/persistence.xml")
                .addAsWebInfResource("test-ds.xml", "test-ds.xml")
                .addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");

        return archive;
    }
}

Maven Dependencies:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>

        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>4.11</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

mvn clean test error:

Your maven dependencies only list out JUnit and Arquillian JUnit. You also need an Arquillian container to work with, in order to execute your tests with. If you in fact have one on the classpath, please update your question, otherwise please add a dependency on one of the Arquillian containers (e.g. JBoss, Tomcat, etc).
