Enhancements

• Cover: Diffblue Cover now provides more detailed output codes and enhanced remediation advice when the analysis service fails to start. E020 Failed to start up analysis service output code now deprecated. [Ref: TG-19700]

• Plugin: Cover Plugin now has improved support for licensing via proxy servers. [Ref: TG-19676]

• Cover: Diffblue Cover now supports Lombok's @Builder annotation. [Ref: TG-19398]

• CLI: Cover CLI now shows the total number of lines of source code, and the number of lines of code covered by "manually written" tests during preflight checks for Maven projects. [Ref: TG-18659]

Resolved Issues

• Cover: Resolved an issue where Diffblue Cover could not write tests because it encountered an infinite loop in the method under test. [Ref: TG-19702]

• Cover: Resolved an issue which caused Diffblue Cover to suggest incompatible JUnit dependencies. [Ref: TG-19659]

• Plugin: Resolved an issue where tests in Gradle multi-module projects could be written into the wrong module. [Ref: TG-19606]

• Cover: Resolved an issue where tests were always written in UTF-8 and not the project's configured character encoding. [Ref: TG-19556]

• CLI & Reports: Resolved an issue which caused Cover CLI to report an internal server error when uploading a reports bundle created using a JaCoCo Plugin version older than 0.8.2. Cover now requires 0.8.2 or above when creating reports bundles. [Ref: TG-19546]

Known Issues

• Cover may produce tests for JUnit 4.10 and lower that do not compile due to the use of assertNotEquals. [Ref: TG-17605]

• Cover: Diffblue Cover supports Open JDK and Oracle JDK; results with other JDKs may differ due to the variability in their implementations of Java. [Ref: TG-19345]

• Cover may encounter an F009: Internal error while writing tests using Mockito 5. To avoid this issue use a version of Mockito earlier than 5. [Ref: TG-19610]
