The Java Native Interface (JNI) mechanism allows your Java applications to load native libraries written in C, C++, assembly, etc. Diffblue Cover executes your application in a sandboxed environment, so that its behavior can be analyzed without external effects, and by default this blocks the execution of JNI libraries. If you believe that Diffblue Cover is safe to call a native library that you use, then you can add it to the list of JNI libraries that are allowed to be loaded.
Using the CLI
Use the --allow-jni option to specifically allow JNI libraries with the given name prefix to be loaded. In this case, either --allow-jni custommagic or --allow-jni custom allows a JNI library custommagic to be loaded.
Using the Intellij plugin Select Diffblue Cover Settings > Sandboxed Environment Options > Allowed JNI prefixes.
For more information, please see our documentation at:
Using custom rules allows you to specify appropriate inputs necessary to write tests for a given method under test, should Diffblue Cover be unable to do them automatically. Custom rules must be formatted correctly.
Diffblue Cover now offers additional guidance if the formatting is incorrect. For further information on custom rules, please see our documentation at:

Cover now provides improved guidance if R008 (Failed to instantiate class under test) is encountered whilst writing tests. [Ref: TG-17231]
CLI: Cover now provides a warning if an empty or malformed custom test inputs file is provided via DiffblueRules.yml. [Ref: TG-16982]
Resolved an issue, which, in some circumstances, would prevent Cover from writing tests with more than one element in a Collection if a test with a single element Collection was written. [Ref: TG-17190]
Resolved an issue which, in some circumstances, would cause Cover to fail to activate, or write tests, on MacOS. [Ref: TG-16659]
IntelliJ Plugin: Resolved an issue which caused Cover to not show a detailed failure message if it was unable to combine tests it had written with an existing test class. [Ref: TG-17228]
CLI: Resolved an issue which caused Cover to run integration tests (*IT.java classes) tests whilst using the --coverage-reports CLI option. [Ref: TG-17291]
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]
For multi-module projects, --coverage-reports needs to be run in the sub-modules, not from the root module with --working-directory. [Ref: TG-16876]
Use Diffblue Cover on any CI platform to automatically update your unit tests and catch regressions for every commit - watch to learn more.
