What's New > Version 2022.10.02

Improved logging now available

Release date: Oct 24, 2022

Plugin - Improved logging now available

For our IntelliJ plugin users, additional logging is now available whenever you write either tests or skeleton tests. A timestamped log file is created in addition to the standard logs containing all activity, which makes it significantly easier to find a particular event. The screenshot below shows the contents of the /tmp/diffblue/log directory with the standard user log alongside a new timestamped user log:

Mockito versions

In this release, we have standardized the Mockito versions supported by Diffblue Cover. This, and other useful information, is shown in our Datasheet:

Java Version Supported Mockito Versions
17 4.1.0 - 4.7.0
11 2.22.0 - 4.7.0
8 1.9.5 - 4.7.0

Full Release Notes

Enhancements

  • Cover no longer consumes ‘remaining tests’ allowance if, across multiple ‘Write Tests’ operations, a pre-existing test is written again. [Ref: TG-17852]

  • CLI: Cover now provides improved messaging and guidance when it encounters E012 (Error when using build system). [Ref: TG-17657]

  • CLI: Cover now provides improved messaging and guidance when it identifies issues with Spring dependencies. [Ref: TG-17561]

  • CLI: Cover now provides improved messaging and guidance when it identifies tests which will not execute due to an issue with the Maven Surefire Plugin. [Ref: TG-17559]

  • IntelliJ Plugin: Cover now produces separate log files for each “Write Tests” operation. [Ref: TG-17713]

Resolved Issues

  • Resolved an issue which caused Cover to not provide a warning if a version of Mockito lower than 2.22.0 is used with Java 11 or higher. [Ref: TG-17943]

  • Resolved an issue which would cause Cover to report R004 instead of R002 (Missing observers). [Ref: TG-17869]
