JUnit Platform
Bug Fixes
-
Fix support for disabling ANSI colors on the console when the
NO_COLOR
environment variable is available.
New Features and Improvements
-
New
addResourceContainerSelectorResolver()
inEngineDiscoveryRequestResolver.Builder
to support the discovery of class path resource based tests, analogous to theaddClassContainerSelectorResolver()
. -
Introduce
ReflectionSupport.makeAccessible(Field)
for third-party use rather than calling the internalReflectionUtils.makeAccessible(Field)
method directly. -
Support both the primitive type
void
and the wrapper typeVoid
in the internalReflectionUtils
to allowString
toClass
conversion in parameterized tests. -
Add support for passing line and column number to
ConsoleLauncher
via--select-file
and--select-resource
. -
ConsoleLauncher
now accepts multiple values for all--select
options. -
Add
--select-unique-id
support to ConsoleLauncher.
JUnit Jupiter
Deprecations and Breaking Changes
-
When injecting
TestInfo
into test class constructors it now contains data of the test method the test class instance is being created for unless the test instance lifecycle is set toPER_CLASS
(in which case it continues to contain the data of the test class). If you require theTestInfo
of the test class, you can implement a class-level lifecycle method (e.g.,@BeforeAll
) and injectTestInfo
into that method. -
When injecting
TestReporter
into test class constructors the published report entries are now associated with the test method rather than the test class unless the test instance lifecycle is set toPER_CLASS
(in which case they will continue to be associated with the test class). If you want to publish report entries for the test class, you can implement a class-level lifecycle method (e.g.,@BeforeAll
) and injectTestReporter
into that method.
New Features and Improvements
-
New
--exclude-methodname
and--include-methodname
options added to theConsoleLauncher
to include or exclude methods based on fully qualified method names without parameters. For example,--exclude-methodname=^org\.example\..+#methodname
will exclude all methods calledmethodName
under packageorg.example
. -
In a
@ParameterizedTest
method, anull
value can now be supplied for Java Date/Time types such asLocalDate
if the newnullable
attribute in@JavaTimeConversionPattern
is set totrue
. -
ArgumentsProvider
(declared via@ArgumentsSource
),ArgumentConverter
(declared via@ConvertWith
), andArgumentsAggregator
(declared via@AggregateWith
) implementations can now use constructor injection from registeredParameterResolver
extensions. -
Extensions based on
TestTemplateInvocationContextProvider
can now allow returning zero invocation contexts by overriding the newmayReturnZeroTestTemplateInvocationContexts
method. -
The new
@ParameterizedTest(requireArguments = false)
attribute allows to specify that the absence of arguments is expected in some cases and should not cause a test failure. -
Allow determining "shared resources" at runtime via the new
@ResourceLock#providers
attribute that accepts implementations ofResourceLocksProvider
. -
Extensions that implement
TestInstancePreConstructCallback
,TestInstanceFactory
,TestInstancePostProcessor
,ParameterResolver
, orInvocationInterceptor
may override thegetTestInstantiationExtensionContextScope()
method to enable receiving a test-scopedExtensionContext
inExtension
methods called during test class instantiation. This behavior will become the default in future versions of JUnit. -
@TempDir
is now supported on test class constructors. -
The new
PreInterruptCallback
extension point defines the API forExtensions
that wish to be called prior to invocations ofThread#interrupt()
by the@Timeout
extension. -
When enabled via the
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.threaddump.enabled
configuration parameter, an implementation ofPreInterruptCallback
is registered that writes a thread dump toSystem.out
prior to interrupting a test thread due to a timeout.

Bug Fixes
-
Extensions can once again be registered via multiple
@ExtendWith
meta-annotations on the same composed annotation on a field within a test class. -
@ExtendWith
annotations can now also be repeated when used directly on fields and parameters. -
All
@…Source
annotations of parameterized tests can now also be repeated when used as meta annotations.
5.11.2

JUnit Platform
Bug Fixes
-
Fix support for disabling ANSI colors on the console when the
NO_COLOR
environment variable is available. -
NamespacedHierarchicalStore
no longer throws an exception after it has been closed if the store is queried via one of theget(…)
orgetOrComputeIfAbsent(…)
methods; however, if agetOrComputeIfAbsent(…)
invocation results in the computation of a new value, an exception will still be thrown. -
Fixed potential locking issue with
ExclusiveResource
in theHierarchicalTestExecutorService
, which could lead to deadlocks in certain scenarios.
