JUnit Platform

Bug Fixes

  • Field predicates are now applied while searching the type hierarchy. This fixes bugs in findFields(…​) and streamFields(…​) in ReflectionSupport as well as findAnnotatedFields(…​) and findAnnotatedFieldValues(…​) in AnnotationSupport.

  • Method predicates are now applied while searching the type hierarchy. This fixes bugs in findMethods(…​) and streamMethods(…​) in ReflectionSupport as well as findAnnotatedMethods(…​) in AnnotationSupport.

JUnit Jupiter

Bug Fixes

  • A package-private static field annotated with @TempDir is no longer shadowed by a non-static field annotated with @TempDir when the non-static field resides in a different package and has the same name as the static field.

  • A package-private class-level lifecycle method annotated with @BeforeAll or @AfterAll is no longer shadowed by a method-level lifecycle method annotated with @BeforeEach or @AfterEach when the method-level lifecycle method resides in a different package and has the same name as the class-level lifecycle method.

  • The ON_SUCCESS cleanup mode of @TempDir now takes into account failures of test methods and nested tests when it’s declared on the class level, e.g. as a static field.

  • The RandomNumberExtension example in the User Guide has been updated to properly support Integer types as well as non-static field injection.

New Features and Improvements

  • Improved Javadoc for Assertions.assertTimeoutPreemptively regarding thread interrupt.

  • Documentation for @Disabled and conditional annotations now explicitly explains that such annotations are not inherited by subclasses.

JUnit Vintage

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed reporting for JUnit 3 test classes that use JUnit 4’s @Ignored annotation.
