Migration Guide

This guide covers the breaking changes between Paramixel 1.x and 2.0.0 and how to update your code.

Attachment → Store + Value​

The single-attachment model has been replaced with a Store (key-value map) + Value (typed wrapper).

Before (1.x)​

context.setAttachment(new MyData("value"));
MyData data = context.getAttachment()
        .flatMap(a -> a.to(MyData.class))
        .orElseThrow();
context.findAttachment(1)
        .flatMap(a -> a.to(MyData.class))
        .orElseThrow();
context.removeAttachment();

After (2.0.0)​

context.getStore().put("data", Value.of(new MyData("value")));
MyData data = context.getStore()
        .get("data")
        .map(Value::get)
        .map(v -> (MyData) v)
        .orElseThrow();
context.findAncestor(1).orElseThrow().getStore()
        .get("data")
        .map(Value::get)
        .map(v -> (MyData) v)
        .orElseThrow();
context.getStore().remove("data");

The Store API provides putIfAbsent, compute, merge, forEach, and other ConcurrentMap-like methods. Each context has its own independent Store.

StrictSequential → DependentSequential​

Before (1.x)​

import org.paramixel.core.action.StrictSequential;
Action action = StrictSequential.of("suite", ...);

After (2.0.0)​

import org.paramixel.core.action.DependentSequential;
Action action = DependentSequential.of("suite", ...);

Same semantics, new name. StrictRandomSequential → DependentRandomSequential follows the same pattern.

Listener API​

Listener callbacks now receive Result instead of Context + Action. Use result.getAction() to access the action.

Before (1.x)​

void beforeAction(Context context, Action action)
void actionThrowable(Context context, Action action, Throwable throwable)
void afterAction(Context context, Action action, Result result)

After (2.0.0)​

void beforeAction(Result result)
void actionThrowable(Result result, Throwable throwable)
void afterAction(Result result)
void skipAction(Result result)

The skipAction(Result) callback is new in 2.0.0 — it fires for every skipped action.

ConsoleRunner → Runner​

ConsoleRunner no longer exists. Its methods are now on Runner.

Before (1.x)​

ConsoleRunner.runAndExit(action);
int exitCode = ConsoleRunner.runAndReturnExitCode(action);

After (2.0.0)​

Runner runner = Runner.builder().build();
runner.runAndExit(action);
int exitCode = runner.runAndReturnExitCode(action);

Result and Status interfaces​

Result and Status are now interfaces.

Result​

Before (1.x): Result.of(status, elapsedTime), Result.pass(...), Result.fail(...), Result.skip(...), Result.staged(). After (2.0.0): Access Result through the Runner.run(Action) return value. The Result interface provides:

Optional<Result> getParent()
List<Result> getChildren()
Action getAction()
Status getStatus()
Duration getElapsedTime()
Duration getCumulativeElapsedTime()

Status​

Before (1.x): Status.pass(), Status.failure(...), Status.skip(...), Status.staged(), isFail(). After (2.0.0): Status is an interface. Check status with isPass(), isFailure(), isSkip(). The isFail() method is now isFailure().

Selector builder​

Selector.byPackageName() and Selector.byClassName() are removed. Use Selector.builder():

Before (1.x)​

Selector.byPackageName("com.example.tests");
Selector.byClassName("com.example.tests.MyTest");

After (2.0.0)​

Selector.builder().packageMatch("com.example.tests").build();
Selector.builder().packageOf(MyTest.class).build();
Selector.builder().classMatch("com\\.example\\..*Test").build();
Selector.builder().classOf(MyTest.class).build();

findContext → findAncestor​

Before (1.x)​

context.findContext(1);

After (2.0.0)​

context.findAncestor(1);

Same semantics, renamed for clarity.

Resolver simplification​

The 14+ Resolver overloads have been reduced to 4:

Optional<Action> resolveActions();
Optional<Action> resolveActions(Selector selector);
Optional<Action> resolveActions(Map<String, String> configuration);
Optional<Action> resolveActions(Map<String, String> configuration, Selector selector);

Resolver.Composition is removed. Discovered actions are always combined as Parallel.

Exception packages​

Fail and skip exceptions moved from org.paramixel.core to org.paramixel.core.exception:

Before (1.x)​

import org.paramixel.core.FailException;
import org.paramixel.core.SkipException;

After (2.0.0)​

import org.paramixel.core.exception.FailException;
import org.paramixel.core.exception.SkipException;

New exceptions in org.paramixel.core.exception:

  • CycleDetectedException — thrown by CycleDetector
  • DeadlockDetected — thrown by DeadlockDetector

Factory class​

Factory provides static utility methods:

Factory.defaultRunner();    // returns a Runner with default configuration and listener
Factory.defaultListener();   // returns SafeListener(StatusListener + SummaryListener(TreeSummaryRenderer))

Previously these were accessed via Listener.defaultListener() and Listener.treeListener().

@Paramixel.Tag​

New annotation for tagging action factories:

@Paramixel.ActionFactory
@Paramixel.Tag("smoke")
public static Action smokeTests() { /* ... */ }

Filter by tag using Selector.builder().tagMatch("smoke") or the paramixel.match.tag configuration key.
