Deprecations and Breaking Changes

• Minimum required Java version is now Java 17.

• Platform, Jupiter, and Vintage artifacts now use the same version number.

New Features and Improvements

• All JUnit modules now use JSpecify's nullability annotations to indicate which method parameters, return types, etc. can be null.

JUnit Platform

Bug Fixes

• Fix support of --uid/--select-unique-id options in the console launcher.

Deprecations and Breaking Changes

• Remove deprecated support for running the ConsoleLauncher without specifying a subcommand.

• Remove support for deprecated non-conventional ConsoleLauncher options such as --h (rather than -h) or -help (rather than --help).

• The junit-platform-runner module that provided the JUnit 4 based JUnitPlatform runner has been discontinued.

• Support for Maven Surefire/Failsafe versions less than 3.0.0 has been dropped.

• The following deprecated APIs have been removed:

  • ReflectionSupport.loadClass(String) method

  • ReflectionUtils.readFieldValue(…​) methods

  • ReflectionUtils.getMethod(…​) method

  • BlacklistedExceptions class

  • PreconditionViolationException class (from org.junit.platform.commons.util)

  • ClasspathScanningSupport class

  • ConfigurationParameters.size() method

  • MethodSelector.getMethodParameterTypes() method

  • NestedMethodSelector.getMethodParameterTypes() method

  • ReportEntry() constructor

  • SingleTestExecutor class

  • LauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder() constructor

  • LegacyReportingUtils class

  • TestPlan.add(TestIdentifier), TestPlan.getChildren(String), and TestPlan.getTestIdentifier(String) methods

  • TestPlan.add(TestIdentifier) and TestPlan.getChildren(String) methods

  • @UseTechnicalNames annotation

  • EngineTestKit.execute(String, EngineDiscoveryRequest), EngineTestKit.execute(TestEngine, EngineDiscoveryRequest), and EngineTestKit.Builder.filters(…​) methods

• Support for "legacy semantics" for field and method searches that used to be configurable via the junit.platform.reflection.search.useLegacySemantics system property has been removed. JUnit now always adheres to standard Java semantics regarding whether a given field or method is visible or overridden according to the rules of the Java language.

JUnit Jupiter

Bug Fixes

• ❓

Deprecations and Breaking Changes

• The following deprecated APIs have been removed:

  • MethodOrderer.Alphanumeric class

  • InvocationInterceptor.interceptDynamicTest(Invocation, ExtensionContext) method

• The deprecated junit.jupiter.tempdir.scope configuration parameter is no longer supported.

• The JRE enum constants for JAVA_8 to JAVA_16 have been deprecated because they can no longer be used at runtime since JAVA_17 is the new baseline. Please also manually update any values used with the minVersion and maxVersion attributes in @EnabledForJreRange and @DisabledForJreRange or the versions attributes in @EnabledOnJre and @DisabledOnJre to ensure that you are no longer declaring version values less than 17.

• @EnabledForJreRange and @DisabledForJreRange now use JAVA_17 as their default min value.

• The contracts for the Executable parameters of Kotlin-specific assertTimeout functions were changed from callsInPlace(executable, EXACTLY_ONCE) to callsInPlace(executable, AT_MOST_ONCE) which might result in compilation errors.

New Features and Improvements

• Kotlin’s suspend modifier may now be applied to test and lifecycle methods.

• The Arguments interface for parameterized tests is now officially a @FunctionalInterface.
