  • v2.8.1 Changes

    November 15, 2020

    ✅ 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.x ComparisonException but an opentest4j AssertionFailedError 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.

  • v2.8.0 Changes

    October 30, 2020

    🚀 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 to MultipleNodeAssert 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).

    0️⃣ DefaultNodeMatcher with multiple ElementSelectors could fail to find the best matches as the order of ElementSelectors should
    select them.
    #197

    🏗 Input builder now supports java.nio.file.Path
    #196

    0️⃣ It is now possible to specify a custom TransformerFactory for DefaultComparisonFormatter.
    #195

  • v2.7.0 Changes

    May 12, 2020

    The biggest changes are to the placeholder and assertj modules. The assertj module should now work with AssertJ 3.15+.

    This version contains a backwards incompatible change to the PlaceholderHandler interface that is part of the experimental placeholders module: The evaluate method now receives a variable number of string arguments in addition to the textual content of the element/attribute. This allows placeholders like ${xmlunit.matchesRegex(some\s*regex)}.

    ✅ the AssertJ tests now pass on non-English locales as well
    Issue #180

    ➕ added a workaround for a binary incompatible change in AssertJ that caused xmlunit-assertj to be incompatible with AssertJ 3.15.0
    Issue #181

    ➕ added a new ${xmlunit.matchesRegex(regex)} placeholder
    PR #178 by @Jazzyekim.

    ➕ add a new ${xmlunit.isDateTime} placeholder
    inspired by #xmlunit.net/31 and #xmlunit.net/32 by MilkyWare
    Issue #174

    avoid unnecessary creation of DocumentBuilderFactory in DOMDifferenceEngine when a custom factory has been provided to DiffBuilder.
    Issue #182

  • v2.6.4 Changes

    March 08, 2020

    🚀 This release fixes a bug that affects the XPath for missing nodes in certain corner cases and improves the AsssertJ module. In particular XMLUnit 2.6.4 is supposed to be compatible with AssertJ 3.13.x.

    The full list of changes:

    the dependencies on JAXB implementation and its transitive
    ✅ dependencies has been promoted from test scope to optional for Java
    9 and later
    Issue #162

    ➕ added containsAnyNodeHavingXPath, containsAllNodesHavingXPath
    and hasXPath assertions to xmlunit-assertj.

    ➕ added extractingAttribute method to xmlunit-assertj.

    ✂ removed some redundant instanceof checks.
    PR #171 by
    @PascalSchumacher.

    xmlunit-assertj should now work with AssertJ-Core 3.13.x
    Issue #166

    the XPath values for comparisons resulting in CHILD_LOOKUP
    differences could be wrong when NodeFilters were present.
    XMLUnit.NET Issue
    xmlunit.net/#29

    xmlunit-legacy will now use NewDifferenceEngine even when an
    ElementQualifier different from the built-in ones is used.

  • v2.6.3 Changes

    June 21, 2019

    🚀 The release fixes a bug in a corner-case and adds a new isNumber placeholder.

    The full list of changes:

    ➕ add a new ${xmlunit.isNumber} placeholder
    Issue #153 via PR #154 by @NathanAtClarity.

    the XPath values of a comparison should not be affected by any NodeFilter being in effect.
    Issue #156

  • v2.6.2 Changes

    August 27, 2018

    🚀 This release mainly fixes interop problems with more recent AssertJ versions and the Java module system.

    The full list of changes:

    xmlunit-assertj can now be used with AssertJ 3.9.1+ as well as 2.9.x.
    Issue #135.

    ➕ added a new TypeMatcher to the xmlunit-matchers module that can be
    👉 used to conveniently translate XPath result strings into numbers or
    booleans and verify they match type safe assetions.
    Issue #133 via PR #137.

    🛠 fixed the Automatic-Module-Name of all modules to be valid Java
    identifiers.
    Issue #136.

  • v2.6.1 Changes

    August 16, 2018

    🚀 This release adds a new module with AssertJ support thanks to the lates XMLUnit project member @krystiankaluzny

    The full list of changes is:

    ➕ add a new module with AssertJ support. This module requires Java7 at runtime.
    Issue #117 via PRs #120, #126, #128, and #129 by @krystiankaluzny.

    🔧 The XPathFactory used by the XPath related Hamcrest matchers is now configurable.
    Issue #131 via PRs #132

  • v2.6.0 Changes

    April 22, 2018

    🚀 This release fixes a few bugs and introduces a new experimental feature. In particular XMLUnit will now configure all XML parsing code in a way that prevents XML eXternal Entity injections (XXE) by default - the only exceptions are the validation package and the legacy module.

    The full list of changes is:

    ➕ add a new experimental project xmlunit-placeholders which aims to
    👉 use ${xmlunit.FOO} expressions inside of the control document to
    👍 allow for a DSL-like approach of defining more complex tests.
    👀 This initial seed only supports ${xmlunit.ignore} which can be
    👉 used to make XMLUnit ignore the element containing this text.
    PR #105 by
    @zheng-wang.

    ➕ added withDocumentBuilderFactory methods to HasXPathMatcher and
    🔧 EvaluateXPathMatcher to allow explicit configuration of the
    DocumentBuilderFactory used.
    Issue #108.

    the DocmentBuilderFactory and TransformerFactory instances used
    🔧 by XMLUnit are now configured to not load any external DTDs or parse
    🔧 external entities. They are now configured according to the OWASP
    recommendations for XML eXternal Entity injection
    preventions    . The
    TransformerFactory used by the
    🔧 org.xmlunit.transform.Transformation class is still configured to
    💅 load external stylesheets, though.

    📦 For the legacy package XXE prevention has to be enabled via
    XMLUnit.enableXXEProtection explicitly.

    This is a breaking change and you may need to provide
    DocmentBuilderFactory or TransformerFactory instances of your
    own if you need to load external entities.

    📜 The SAXParserFactory and SchemaFactory instances used inside of
    📦 the validation package have not been changed as their use is
    likely to require loading of external DTDs or schemas.

    Issue #91.

    🔧 the configured NodeFilter is now applied before comparing
    DocumentType nodes.

    This change breaks backwards compatibility as the old behavior was
    to ignore DocumentType when counting the children of the
    Document node but not when actually comparing the
    DocumentType. Prior to this change if one document had a document
    type declaration but the other didn't, a HAS_DOCTYPE_DECLARATION
    difference was detected, this will no longer be the case now. If you
    want to detect this difference, you need to use a more lenient
    0️⃣ NodeFilter than NodeFilters.Default
    👀 (i.e. NodeFilters.AcceptAll) but then you will see an additional
    CHILD_NODELIST_LENGTH difference.

    📦 The legacy package has been adapted and will behave as before even
    when using NewDifferenceEngine.

    Issue #116.

    ➕ added a new Source implementation
    ElementContentWhitespaceStrippedSource which is similar to
    WhitespaceStrippedSource but only affects text nodes that solely
    consist of whitespace and doesn't affect any other text nodes. Also
    ➕ added convenience ignoreElementContentWhitespace methods to
    DiffBuilder and CompareMatcher.
    Issue #119.

  • v2.5.1 Changes

    November 09, 2017

    🚀 this release fixes a bug in CompareMatcher that could throw a NoSuchElementException when combined with other hamcrest matchers.

    The full list of changes for XMLUnit for Java

    🏗 Made Travis build work with OpenJDK6 again.
    PR #101 by
    @PascalSchumacher.

    👻 CompareMatcher's describeTo method threw an exception if the
    comparison yielded no differences.
    Issue #107.

  • v2.5.0 Changes

    September 03, 2017

    🚀 this release upgrades the XSLT used by CommentLessSource to use XSLT 2.0 and adds an option to select the XSLT version.

    The full list of changes for XMLUnit for Java

    • CommentLessSource, DiffBuilder#ignoreComments and
      CompareMatcher#ignoreComments now all use XSLT version 2.0
      💅 stylesheets in order to strip comments. New constructors and methods
      have been added if you need a different version of XSLT (in
      0️⃣ particular if you need 1.0 which used to be the default up to
      XMLUnit 2.4.0).
      Issue #99.
