xmlunit 2.1.0 is the latest release for xmlunit.
Most of the xmlunit functionality used within spring-framework
was done through the xmlunit 1.x helper class
`org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLAssert`.
As of xmlunit 2.0.0 most of the XML comparison methods are done
through hamcrest matchers exposed by the xmlunit-matchers
library. In some cases during the migration, the matchers
had to be customized with custom `NodeMatcher` or
`DifferenceEvaluator` instances in order to keep the assertions
correct (they were performed with xmlunit 1.x previously).
Issue: SPR-14043
This commit adds a test runtime dependency on log4j 2 for every project
and migrates all log4j.properties files to log4j2-test.xml files.
Issue: SPR-14431
This commit migrates all remaining tests from JUnit 3 to JUnit 4, with
the exception of Spring's legacy JUnit 3.8 based testing framework that
is still in use in the spring-orm module.
Issue: SPR-13514
Improved the SAX to StAX (and vice-versa) bridge exposed via StaxUtils.
The old integration had some issues with namespace declaration
attributes, brought to light in a XMLUnit upgrade.
Issue: SPR-11549
Prior to this commit, the codebase was using a mix of log4j.xml
and log4j.properties for test-related logging configuration. This
can be an issue as log4j takes the xml variant first when looking
for a default bootstrap configuration.
In practice, some modules declaring the properties variant were
taking the xml variant configuration from another module.
The general structure of the configuration has also been
harmonized to provide a standard console output as well as an
easy way to enable trace logs for the current module.
- Consistent importing of org.junit.Assert.*;
- Proper declaration of expected exceptions via @Test(expected).
- Renamed SpEL ExpressionTestCase to AbstractExpressionTests.
- Formatting and test method naming conventions.
Update ClassPathJaxb2TypeScanner to scan for @XmlRegistry classes.
Prior to this commit explicitly configured @XmlRegistry annotated classes
were not registered with the JAXBContext when using the 'packagesToScan'
property of the Jaxb2Unmarshaller.
Issue: SPR-10714
Previously building with JDK > 1.8 b88 caused test failures due to errors
with custom compilers like Jibx and Jasper reports.
This commit adds a new TestGroup named CUSTOM_COMPILATION that allows the
CI server to continue to run these tests but allow committers to ignore
these tests.
Fix deprecation compiler warnings by refactoring code or applying
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") annotations. JUnit tests of
internally deprecated classes are now themselves marked as
@Deprecated.
Numerous EasyMock deprecation warnings will remain until the
migration to mockito can be completed.
"test" source and target compatibility has been upgraded to 1.7 except
where noted, allowing us to use 1.7 language features such as
diamond-style (<>) generics declarations, automatic resource management
and multi-catch. More importantly, we will be able to upgrade to 1.8
once it is available in order to make use of lambda expressions, etc in
our test cases.
IDE configurations must be relaxed to allow 1.7 across the board, as
neither Eclipse nor IDEA are clever enough to allow for different
language levels across production and test resources. See [1] for a
feature request on that front.
spring-oxm is a special case here, and has been pinned at 1.6
compatibility even for its test sources in order to avoid a class
verification error that JibX throws when encountering 1.7-level
bytecode [2].
Likewise with spring-orm, toplink encounters a similar class
verification error, so has been pinned to 1.6 for the time being.
When we remove the (already deprecated since 3.2) Toplink support
we can restore compatibility to 1.7.
