jsonparamunit v0.0.6 was released on September 28, 2024. This release focuses on keeping your testing framework current with updated dependencies and improved build reliability.

What’s New

This maintenance release brings several important dependency updates that enhance jsonparamunit’s compatibility and performance:

Updated Test Framework Dependencies

  • JUnit Jupiter Params upgraded from 5.10.2 to 5.11.1, bringing the latest parameterized testing capabilities
  • Mockito updated from 5.12.0 to 5.14.0 for improved mocking features
  • Jackson Databind bumped from 2.17.1 to 2.18.0 with bug fixes and improvements

Build Process Improvements

The Maven compiler plugin now includes explicit Lombok annotation processor configuration, ensuring more reliable builds across different development environments.

Supply Chain Security

Release artifacts now include provenance attestations generated through GitHub’s attestation framework, giving you cryptographic verification of artifact origins.

Companion Library Updates

jsonparamunit v0.0.6 is now compatible with fileparamunit v0.0.5, the companion library for iterating through multiple JSON files in directories.

Why It Matters

While this release doesn’t introduce new library features, it maintains jsonparamunit’s health and longevity by:

  • Keeping pace with JUnit 5: The jump to JUnit Jupiter Params 5.11.x ensures continued compatibility with the broader JUnit ecosystem and access to latest parameterized testing features
  • Security updates: Upstream dependency updates include important security patches from Jackson and other libraries
  • Build reliability: Explicit annotation processor configuration reduces build inconsistencies across CI/CD pipelines and local environments
  • Supply chain trust: Artifact provenance attestations allow you to verify that the artifacts you download are genuinely from the jsonparamunit project

Upgrading to v0.0.6

Upgrading is straightforward—no migration steps are required:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsonparamunit</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.6</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

If you use fileparamunit alongside jsonparamunit, consider updating to v0.0.5 as well:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>fileparamunit</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.5</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

After updating, run mvn clean test to verify your existing tests pass. The core API remains unchanged, so no code modifications should be necessary.
