gradle-pitest-plugin changelog

1.15.0 - 2023-09-28

Automatically add junit-platform-launcher dependency to testRuntimeOnly for JUnit Platform projects - #337 - help from Björn Kautler
Remove deprecated Project.getConvention() usage (in Gradle 8.2+) - #343
PIT 1.15.0 by default
Basic regression testing with Gradle up to 8.3

Compatibility notes Starting with PIT 1.14.0 (with pitest-junit-plugin 1.2.0+) junit-platform-launcher is no longer shaded and has to be explicitly added to avoid: "Minion exited abnormally due to UNKNOWN_ERROR" or "NoClassDefFoundError: org.junit.platform.launcher.core.LauncherFactory".

As an experimental (incubating) feature, junit-platform-launcher is automatically added to the testRuntimeOnly configuration for the JUnit Platform projects.

PLEASE NOTE. This feature is experimental and might not work as expected in some corner cases. In that situation, just disable it with addJUnitPlatformLauncher = false and add the required dependency 'junit-platform-launcher' in a proper version to 'testRuntimeOnly' manually. More information: #337

1.9.11 - 2022-11-27

Support for thresholds in aggregated metrics (requires PIT 1.9.9+) - #319 - PR by pfoerd
Support for verbosity flag, "spinner" disabled by default - #267 - PR by Carsten Otto
PIT 1.9.11 by default
Do not produce timestamped reports by default for PIT 1.9.6+ - suggestion by Siddardha Bezawada
Minimal supported PIT version is 1.7.1 (due to "verbosity" flag used by default)
Deprecate verbose flag - verbosity is much more versatile, especially when used from the Gradle plugin

Compatibility notes

Due to the usage of the "verbosity" flag by default, the minimal supported PIT version is 1.7.1 (released 2021-09-29).
Due to the changes in PIT 1.9.6, timestamped reported are not generated by default (with PIT 1.9.6+). It still can be enforced in the GPP configuration.

1.9.0 - 2022-08-19

PIT 1.9.4 by default (requires pitest-junit5-plugin 1.0.0!)
Deprecate support for JDK 8 - #299
Support for inputEncoding and outputEncoding (named in plugin inputCharset and outputCharset) - #310
Add pitest dependencies only during configuration resolution - #313 - PR by Ian O'Malley
Improve build cache hit cache with relative path - #315 - PR by Siddardha Bezawada
Remove (optional) dependencyDistance configuration parameter removed in PIT 1.9.0 - #311

Compatibility notes

Due to the plugin API changes in PIT 1.9.0, the new pitest-junit5-plugin 1.0.0 is required (other PIT plugins - if used - also need to be upgraded).
The plugin is released with JDK 11. Source/class compatibility is still set to JDK 8, but this might change without notice.

1.7.4 - 2022-03-12

Do not pass --testPlugin for PIT 1.6.7+ for forward compatibility - #277
Deprecate testPlugin configuration parameter (not needed in PIT 1.6.7+, to be removed in PIT 1.8.0) - #277
PIT 1.7.4 by default
Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 6.9.2
Test for exclusion of certain mutators - #303 - PR by Narendra Pathai

Compatibility notes:

The testPlugin configuration parameter is deprecated and should not be used. In fact, starting with 1.6.7 it is no longer used (it is enough to add the PIT plugin as a buildscript dependency or just set junit5PluginVersion to use the JUnit 5 plugin). In addition, that property is planned to be removed in PIT 1.8.0.
Using junit5PluginVersion no longer internally set testPlugin property. For using with old PIT (<1.6.7) it is required to set it explicitly in configuration.

1.7.0 - 2021-09-20

Support for Gradle configuration cache - #249 - PR by David Burstrom
Turn on cacheability for PitestTask - #67 - PR by David Burstrom
PIT 1.7.0 by default
Fix deprecation warnings in Gradle 7 - #283 - PR by Mike Duigou
Bump minimal supported Gradle version to 6.4 - required to fix deprecation warnings in Gradle 7
Remove unused maxMutationsPerClass configuration parameter - #266
Regression tests for JUnit Jupiter 5.8 (with JUnit Platform 1.8) and pitest-junit5-plugin 0.15
Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 6.9.1
Switch CI from defunct travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com

Compatibility notes:

Gradle 6.4+ is required (to fix deprecation warnings in Gradle 7)
Not directly related with this plugin, but keep in mind that JUnit Jupiter 5.8 (JUnit Platform 1.8) requires pitest-junit5-plugin 0.15+, while 5.7 (1.7) requires <=0.14. Set right plugin version for JUnit 5 version used in your project to avoid runtime errors (such as NoSuchMethodError: 'java.util.Optional org.junit.platform.commons.util.AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(java.lang.Class, java.lang.Class, boolean)' - see #300).
Due to the internal changes in PIT 1.7.0 (#630):
- all history files should be deleted before upgrading
- the names of the remove conditionals mutators have changed slightly (it might be needed to update their names in build.gradle, if activated explicitly)

1.6.0 - 2021-03-04

Report aggregation for multi-project builds - #243 - PR by Mike Safonov
Support new configuration property testStrengthThreshold (PIT 1.6.1+) - #247 - PR by Michael Hönnig
PIT 1.6.3 by default
Regression tests also with Gradle 7 (milestone)
Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 6.8.3
Remove deprecated mutateStaticInits and includeJarFiles

Sample configuration for the new report aggregation feature:

//in root project configuration
buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'info.solidsoft.gradle.pitest:gradle-pitest-plugin:...'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'info.solidsoft.pitest.aggregator' // to 'pitestReportAggregate' appear

subprojects {
    apply plugin: 'info.solidsoft.pitest'

    pitest {
        // export mutations.xml and line coverage for aggregation
        outputFormats = ["XML"]
        exportLineCoverage = true
        ...
    }
}

After the pitest pitestReportAggregate tasks execution, the aggregated report will be placed in the ${PROJECT_DIR}/build/reports/pitest directory.

1.5.2 - 2020-08-18

Support java-test-fixtures plugin - #223 - PR by Piotr Kubowicz
PIT 1.5.2 by default
Add functional test with Spock 2 (using JUnit Platform)
Bump minimal supported PIT version to 1.4.0 - the first version which required Java 8 (May 2018)
Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 6.6

1.5.1 - 2020-05-06

Fail with meaningful error message on no longer supported pitest configuration in rootProject.buildscript - #205

The only change helps people not reading the release notes to get know why their projects with the JUnit 5 PIT plugin stopped working after migration to 1.5.0+.

1.5.0 - 2020-04-28

Move pitest configuration from root project to current project to eliminate Gradle 6+ warning - #62
Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 6.3 (ability to build with Java 14)

Compatibility changes. This version finally relaxes the need to create pitest configuration in the root project. This was problematic especially with Android projects and also started to generate deprecation warnings in Gradle 6.

The migration steps are required only in project manually adding custom PIT plugins. For example:

buildscript {   //only in gradle-pitest-plugin <1.5.0
    //...
    configurations.maybeCreate('pitest')
    dependencies {
        pitest 'org.example.pit.plugins:pitest-custom-plugin:0.42'
    }
}

pitest {
    testPlugin = 'custom'
    //...
}

should be replaced with:

//only in gradle-pitest-plugin 1.5.0+

//in project (not buildscript) dependencies and without need to create "pitest" configuration manually
dependencies {
    pitest 'org.example.pit.plugins:pitest-custom-plugin:0.42'
}

pitest {
    testPlugin = 'custom'
    //...
}

Please also note that the users of the new JUnit 5 PIT plugin configuration mechanism with junit5PluginVersion are not affected.

1.4.9 - 2020-04-22

Fix regression in 1.4.8 related to missing source listing in PIT reports - #198
migrate remaining configuration properties to Lazy Configuration API
more corner cases tested

1.4.8 - 2020-04-01

Fix problem with setting historyInputLocation and jvmPath - #189
Less noisy "Adding dependency" logging - #182
PIT 1.5.1 by default (better Java 14 support)
Basic functional testing with Java 14
Validation with Java Gradle plugin - #106 - PR by Matthew Haughton
CodeNarc code checks - #184 - PR by Matthew Haughton

1.4.7 - 2020-02-27

Simpler usage with JUnit 5 with junit5PluginVersion configuration parameter - #177 - idea by John Scancella
Remove deprecation warnings in Gradle 6 - #155
additionalClasspathFile no longer marked as @OutputFile for better Gradle 6+ compatibility
PIT 1.5.0 by default
Bump minimal Gradle version to 5.6 - required to fix deprecation warnings due to #10953
Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 5.6.4

Starting with this release the configuration required to use PIT with JUnit 5 has been simplified to the following:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'info.solidsoft.pitest' version '...'
}

pitest {
    //adds dependency to org.pitest:pitest-junit5-plugin and sets "testPlugin" to "junit5"
    junit5PluginVersion = '0.12'
}

See this blog post for more details.

Compatibility changes. A new set of the configuration parameters (jvmPath, historyInputLocation and historyOutputLocation) has been converted from File to RegularFileProperty to prevent deprecation warnings in Gradle 6+. Gradle itself should handle those changes for configuration in build.gradle, however, there could be some corner cases if those fields were used directly.

1.4.6 - 2019-12-15

Support for includedTestMethods (PIT 1.3.2) - #79
Support for useClasspathJar (PIT 1.4.2) - #92
Support for skipFailingTests (PIT 1.4.4) - #113
Pass additional PIT features from command line with --additionalFeatures - #139
Set targetTests explicitly - #144
Ability to override targetTests from command line --targetTests - #143
Run pitest after test if both scheduled to run - #141 - PR by Björn Kautler
Remove incubating addFileExtensionsToFilter() method added in 1.4.5 - suggestion by Björn Kautler
Travis build with OpenJ9 11 - #112

Compatibility changes. The incubating addFileExtensionsToFilter() method added in 1.4.5 was removed as it is possible to achieve the same effect (while waiting for improvement in Gradle) with:

pitest {
    fileExtensionsToFilter.addAll('xml', 'orbit')
}

1.4.5 - 2019-09-08

Rework internal plugin implementation to Gradle 5+ standards
PIT 1.4.10 by default
Basic Java 12 support tested by CI build
Move pitest task to verification group - #136 - PR by Björn Kautler
Remove deprecation warnings in Gradle 6.0
Bump minimal Gradle version to 5.1
Meaningful error message on running unsupported Gradle version
Switch build to Gradle 5.6.1

Known limitations. This is a technical release to cope with the changes in Gradle 5 and 6. PIT 1.4.10 is used by default, but not all new features of PIT 1.4.0+ have been implemented yet.

Breaking changes. This release changes internal implementation of the plugin configuration. The Gradle team worked hard to keep it as compatible as possible, but not everything is supported. The new syntax can be required for adding elements to the file extensions to filter (fileExtensionsToFilter):

pitest {
    addFileExtensionsToFilter(['xml', 'orbit'])
}

There could be also some issues for people interacting with the plugin from custom code (instead of from build.gradle). As a side effect Gradle 5.1 (released in I 2019) is required.

1.4.0 - 2019-01-26

Basic Java 11 support verified with CI build (requires PIT 1.4.1+)- #86, #81

Switch build to Gradle 4.10.2
Remove support for Gradle <4.0 (for better Gradle 5 compatibility)
Remove deprecation warnings in Gradle 5.0
Enable automatic dependency bumping with Dependabot

Known limitations. To reduce confusion on Java 11 support, this version provides PIT 1.4.3 by default which supports Java 11. However, not all new features of PIT 1.4.0 to 1.4.3 have been implemented in this release of the Gradle plugin. They are planned to be added in the future versions.

1.3.0 - 2018-01-27

Support for test plugin selection in PIT (e.g. JUnit 5) - #76 - PR by Christoph Sturm
Support for excludedTestClasses parameter in PIT - #75

Drop Java 7 support - #70
Basic Java 9 compatibility verified with CI build (preliminary support for Java 9 has been available since PIT 1.2.3) - #68
