Tests for Spring Controllers with session attributes
Diffblue Cover now writes tests for Spring Controllers with session attributes, for both the CLI and the IntelliJ plugin. For example:
Tests for classes implementing the Builder pattern
Diffblue Cover now recognises that build
is a builder method, i.e. it creates a new object using the fields of the class to call a constructor and returns the result. This means that we can now write tests by calling the build
method and asserting on its result.
Coming soon!
We are busy getting ready for IntelliJ 2022.2! More details when the new IntelliJ release is announced, please watch this space.
Developer Edition trial available
How do I automatically maintain all of these tests?
Enhancements
CLI: Cover now detects testable methods faster. [Ref: TG-17337]
Cover now always includes
MethodGroup
failure reasons, if present, in the log file. [Ref: TG-17121]Cover now provides improved guidance when an
R012
(JNI sandbox policy violation) has been encountered. [Ref: TG-17100]Cover now sets
@SessionAttributes
for Spring Controller tests when appropriate. [Ref: TG-17070]Cover is now able to write tests for classes implementing the
Builder
pattern. [Ref: TG-13577]
Resolved Issues
CLI: Resolved an issue which caused Cover to reject prefixes which end in a Java keyword. [Ref: TG-17358]
Known Issues
CLI: The command
dcover clean --failing
does not work on Gradle projects. This command is now deprecated anddcover validate
should be used instead. [Ref: TG-11707]For multi-module projects,
--coverage-reports
needs to be run in the sub-modules, not from root module with--working-directory
. [Ref: TG-16876]
