Parameter types for local
@MethodSourcefactory method names are now validated. For example,@MethodSource("myFactory(example.NonexistentType)")will now result in an exception stating thatexample.NonexistentTypecannot be resolved to a valid type. -
The syntax for parameter types in local
@MethodSourcefactory method names now supports canonical array names — for example, you may now specifyint[]as in@MethodSource("myFactory(int[])"instead of the binary name[Ias in@MethodSource("myFactory([I)"(which was already supported) and@MethodSource("myFactory(java.lang.String[])instead of@MethodSource("myFactory([Ljava.lang.String;). -
The search algorithm used to find
@MethodSourcefactory methods now applies consistent semantics for local qualified method names and fully-qualified method names for overloaded factory methods. -
The
{displayName}placeholder for@ParameterizedTestinvocation names is no longer parsed usingjava.text.MessageFormat. Consequently, any text in the display name of the@ParameterizedTestmethod will be included unmodified in the invocation display name. For example, Kotlin method names and custom display names configured via@DisplayNamecan now contain apostrophes (') as well as text resemblingMessageFormatelements such as{0}or{data}. -
Exceptions thrown for files that cannot be deleted when cleaning up a temporary directory created via
@TempDirnow include the root cause. -
Lifecycle methods are allowed to be declared as
privateagain for backwards compatibility; however, usingprivatevisibility for lifecycle methods is strongly discouraged and will be disallowed in a future release.
-
The search algorithm used to find
@MethodSourcefactory methods now falls back to lenient search semantics when a factory method cannot be found by qualified name (without a parameter list) and also provides better diagnostics when a unique factory method cannot be found.
