Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.42.0...v2.43.0

v2.42.0: Error Prone 2.42.0

New checks:

Changes:

  • The return type of ASTHelpers.asFlagSet has changed. The previous type was EnumSet<Flags.Flag>, where Flags.Flag is an enum in the javac class Flags. A recent JDK change has replaced that enum with a new top-level enum called FlagsEnum. It is not possible to change ASTHelpers.asFlagSet in a way that would be type-safe and compatible with the enums from JDKs both before and after the change. Instead, the method now returns ImmutableSet<String>, where the strings come from the toString() of the enum constants. That means they are "native", "abstract", etc.
  • Flag IO.print[ln]() in SystemOut.

v2.41.0: Error Prone 2.41.0

Changes:

  • Temporarily downgrade to Guava 33.4.0 (#​5108)

Checks:

  • BooleanLiteral: Prefer true to Boolean.TRUE
  • ExpensiveLenientFormatString: Renamed from PreconditionsExpensiveString, detects unnecessary calls to String.format in the arguments of lenient formatting methods.

Changes:

  • The annotations that were previously in error_prone_type_annotations have been been merged into error_prone_annotations. error_prone_type_annotations is now deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.

New checks:

  • AssignmentExpression - The use of an assignment expression can be surprising and hard to read; consider factoring out the assignment to a separate statement.
  • IntFloatConversion - Detect calls to scalb that should be using the double overload instead
  • InvalidSnippet - Detects snippets which omit the : required for inline code.
  • JUnit4EmptyMethods - Detects empty JUnit4 @Before, @After, @BeforeClass, and @AfterClass methods.
  • MockIllegalThrows - Detects cases where Mockito is configured to throw checked exception types which are impossible.
  • NegativeBoolean - Prefer positive boolean names.
  • RuleNotRun - Detects TestRules not annotated with @Rule, that won't be run.
  • StringConcatToTextBlock - Replaces concatenated multiline strings with text blocks.
  • TimeInStaticInitializer - Detects accesses of the system time in static contexts.

  • Propagate check flags in patch mode (#​4699)
  • Fixes a crash in ComputeIfAbsentAmbiguousReference (#​4736)
  • Show the field name in HidingField diagnostics (#​4775)
  • Add support for jakarta annotations to some checks (#​4782)
  • FloatingPointAssertionWithinEpsilonTest depends on default locale (#​4815)
  • @InlineMe patching of Strings.repeat produces broken code (#​4819)
  • Fix a crash in IdentifierName on unnamed (_) variables (#​4847)
  • Fix a crash in ArgumentParameterSwap (#​490)
