XMLUnit v2.8.1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-11-15 // over 3 years ago-
✅ The only real change when compared to XMLUnit for Java 2.8.0 is the introduction of a new
xmlunit-assertj3
module that requires AssertJ 3.18.1 or later in order to address a problem with running AssertJ tests in an OSGi environment.👍 The original
xmlunit-assertj
module will still be supported.The full changelog of XMLUnit for Java 2.8.1
➕ added a new xmlunit-assertj3 module that requires AssertJ 3.18.1 or later.
🛠 This module no longer uses AssertJ internal classes that are not exported to OSGi environments and thus fixes issue #203.
📦 The module (like AssertJ 3.x itself) requires Java 8 at runtime and is similar to xmlunit-assertj but is no drop-in replacement. It uses a different Java package from xmlunit-assertj and
CompareAssert
will no longer throw a JUnit 4.xComparisonException
but an opentest4jAssertionFailedError
instead.🚀 The existing xmlunit-assertj module will still be supported in future releases but expect AssertJ 3.x specific changes to only get applied to xmlunit-assertj3.
Many thanks to @Zegveld, @scordio and @joel-costigliola.
Previous changes from v2.8.0
-
🚀 This release now requires Java 7 for all modules and updates some dependencies - the changed JAXB dependency is a breaking change. It also fixes a few bugs.
Details of changes:
🔄 changed optional JAXB dependency to use Jakarta XML Binding API
PR #186 by @endrejeges⬆️ bumped the bytebuddy dependency to 1.10.10 for the AssertJ module in the hope it would help with #188
- and change its scope from provided to compile time, which should finally fix the issue.
➕ added a new
extractingText
method toMultipleNodeAssert
to make it possible to write AssertJ assertions against the textual content of nodes more easily.
Issue #192 and PR #193 by @keesvandieren🔄 changed the minimum Java version required from Java 6 to Java 7 for all modules (it has already been Java 7 for the AssertJ module before).
