Release notes

3.0.0 (2018-03-25)

  • Update codenarc 1.0 -> 1.1
  • Update checkstyle 8.2 -> 8.8
  • Update pmd 5.8.1 -> 6.1.0
  • Update pmd config:
  • (breaking) use Spotbugs (3.1.2) instead of Findbugs by default (as successor)
    • com.github.spotbugs external plugin applied (quality plugin brings it as a dependency)
    • Spotbugs plugin will use configs from different folder (spotbugs/), so if custom findbugs configs were used move them to spotbugs/ folder
    • Findbugs support is deprecated and will be removed someday (but not soon).
    • To use findbugs (as before): disable spotbugs support (quality.spotbugs = false) or enable findbugs plugin manually (in this case spotbugs plugin will not be registered)
  • Update spotbugs exclusions:

  • Update checkstyle 8.0 -> 8.2

    • Remove FileContentsHolder (8.2 breaking change)
    • New check AnnotationOnSameLine (added in 8.2) added to config, but disabled

  • Update codenarc 0.26.0 -> 0.27.0
  • Update pmd config:
  • Add unified exclusion patterns (glob) configuration: exclude (#2)
    • Does not affect animalsniffer because it's a different type of check
    • Findbugs did not support direct exclusions, so plugin resolves excluded classes and adds them to exclusion xml (default or user defined)
  • Add configuration to directly exclude source files from check (for exceptional cases when pattern exclusion cant help): excludeSources
    • Does not affect animalsniffer
    • For findbugs excluded classes will be added to exclusions xml filter

2.1.0 (2017-01-24)

2.0.0 (2016-09-03)

  • Update checkstyle 6.17 -> 7.1 (requires min jdk 8)
  • Update checkstyle config:
    • Add SingleSpaceSeparator check (since 6.19)
    • Disable FileLength check in favour of more correct PMD ExcessiveClassLength check (which checks actual class length not file)
    • Enable ReturnCount to replace pmd OnlyOneReturn check
  • Update pmd 5.4.1 -> 5.5.1 (requires min jdk 7)
  • Update pmd config:
  • Update codenarc 0.25.1 -> 0.25.2
  • (breaking) quality.lintOptions configuration now applies to all JavaCompile tasks (not only to compileJava as before)
  • Fix multi-module projects reporting (remove duplicate reports)
  • Fix generated html reports links (redundant slash on linux)
  • Fix newline in reporters (use platform specific)
  • Change reporting format so intelliJ IDEA can recognize class reference and show link (eclipse will probably too). Reference line ranges are not shown anymore (pmd, findbugs and column in checkstyle) - always exact line.
  • (breaking) configure manually registered plugins, even if plugin not supposed to be used due to sources auto detection. Configuration may be disabled using quality configuration flags.
  • Add ability to disable automatic plugins registration: quality.autoRegistration = false. Only manually registered plugins will be configured.
  • Add ability to disable quality tasks with configuration property: quality.enabled = false. Quality tasks will still work if called directly or through grouping task (e.g. checkQualityMain).
  • (breaking) Remove checkstyle html report generation: gradle can generate html report since 2.10 and when gradle generates html report, it puts link to it into main error message
  • Findbugs html report is always generated (not only when errors found like before)
  • Add ability to disable console reporting with configuration property: quality.consoleReporting = false
  • Add grouping tasks for registered quality plugins: checkQualityMain, checkQualityTest (per source set). Allows running quality tasks for exact source set or run quality tasks not enabled for 'check' task.
