If both JUnit 4 and JUnit 5 are on the class path, Diffblue Cover no longer attempts to automatically select a version. Instead, Cover will stop and you will receive a message directing you to choose the relevant version of JUnit, using the --testing-framework option to select a testing framework, e.g. --testing-framework=junit-4 or --testing-framework=junit-5. For further information, please see
Please use the --testing-framework option to select a testing framework, e.g. --testing-framework=junit-4 or --testing-framework=junit-5.
This release, Diffblue Cover also offers the following:
A notification if the only tests written are time-sensitive. For further information, please see {: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
Tests with mocks of generic methods.
Deterministic input values for JodaTime objects.
Support for Gradle 7.x and Maven 3.8.x.

Cover now has improved support for mocking of generic methods. [Ref: TG-15702]
Cover now reports R031 as an output code if it was only able to write tests containing time-sensitive assertions. [Ref: TG-16441]
Cover now uses deterministic fixed-time instances when Joda Time data types are used as test inputs. [Ref: TG-16412]
Cover now has improved detection of methods which depend on date or time information, which reduces the chance of writing non-deterministic tests. [Ref: TG-16371]
Cover now adds a comment when it was unable to write a Spring test and wrote a non-Spring test instead. [Ref: TG-16353]
Cover now reports an error when it detects that Diffblue tests are compiled as Groovy using the gmaven-plus Maven plugin. [Ref: TG-16279]
CLI: Cover no longer attempts to automatically select a version of JUnit to use if JUnit 4 and JUnit 5 are on the class path. Cover will now exit with E087. A version can be manually specified using --testing-framework. [Ref: TG-15734]
IntelliJ Plugin: Cover's testability gutter icons now provide a faster testability information and are more responsive. [Ref: TG-16226]
Resolved an issue which, in some circumstances, on large projects, could cause Cover to fail to produce tests with an E016 result code. [Ref: TG-16459]
IntelliJ Plugin: Resolved an issue which could cause Cover to write tests in an incorrect module on a multi-module Maven project. [Ref: TG-16327]
Resolved an issue which would cause Cover to use /tmp as an input for paths, leading to platform-specific tests being written. [Ref: TG-15907]
CLI: The command dcover clean --failing does not work on Gradle projects. This command is now deprecated and dcover validate should be used instead. [Ref: TG-11707]
IntelliJ Plugin: Diffblue Cover was unable to create an index error may appear if switching projects happens before Cover has finished indexing. [Ref: TG-13772]
On certain projects, Cover may take longer to execute and even hang during the analysis of certain classes. While this is being worked on, we recommend excluding from analysis any class/package that shows such a behavior using --exclude. [Ref: TG-16471]
Use Diffblue Cover on any CI platform to automatically update your unit tests and catch regressions for every commit - watch to learn more.
