Full Release Notes

Enhancements

  • CLI: Cover performance improvements. [Ref: TG-12593]

  • Cover now allows the use of mocking, in Spring projects, to be limited via the --spring-integration-tests CLI option or Enable Spring integration tests checkbox via the IntelliJ Plugin settings. [Ref: TG-12176]

  • CLI: Cover now reports detected versions of Java, JUnit and Mockito to the console during test creation. [Ref: TG-11154]

Resolved Issues

  • IntelliJ Plugin: Resolved an issue where Created new test events may not be logged to the IntelliJ event log. [Ref: TG-12693]

  • CLI: Improved guidance around actions to be taken after adding a new module to a Maven project. [Ref: TG-12600]

  • CLI: Resolved an issue where tests were not generated for methods which create temporary files. Tests will now be generated, as long as they also delete those files. [Ref: TG-12488]

Known Issues

  • Wrong reason for not creating essential tests for methods in classes without accessible constructors. [Ref: TG-10794]

  • CLI: Windows: creating config.json by outputting --example-config as file causes exceptions. [Ref: TG-11198]

  • CLI: All tests may be discarded in test verification when using --config. [Ref: TG-11475]

  • CLI: dcover clean --working-directory throws an error if --test-output-dir is not provided. [Ref: TG-11665]

  • CLI: dcover fails to generate tests, reporting java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, when analysing projects which spawn a quantity of threads in excess of the operating system’s process thread limit. [Ref: TG-11680]

  • CLI: dcover clean --failing fails when used with a Gradle project. [Ref: TG-11707]

  • Tests are not generated for methods of Spring controllers that contain an autowired field. [Ref: TG-11835]

  • CLI: Test verification may fail on a Gradle project due to an incompatibility between Gradle and Cover. If you encounter this issue, run with --skip-test-verification. [Ref: TG-12045]

  • CLI: Test verification does not work with JUnit versions 5.0 to 5.3. [Ref: TG-12353]

Dependencies for written tests

  • JUnit: 4.7-5.6
