0.8.8

Changelog:

New features:

• Suite-wide fixture search. Modifier-click (find by fixture name) or right-click (find by value or name) any fixture token in a report to search the whole suite. Matches dock in a resizable, non-modal panel grouped project → class → method → invocation, auto-revealing the active result in the left explorer and highlighting it in violet across sentences and interaction payloads, landing on the exact invocation. Backed by a new per-source search-index.json — a value-anywhere index over rendered sentences, givens/outputs and interaction payloads, with short, boolean and small-numeric values filtered out as noise — emitted in both data-only and full output modes.

0.8.7

Changelog:

Changed:

• Built against Kotlin 2.4.0.. Kensa now compiles against Kotlin 2.4.0 and requires consumers to be on Kotlin 2.4.0; projects still on Kotlin 2.3.x should stay on the previous Kensa release. Context parameters are stable in 2.4.0, so the deprecated -Xcontext-parameters flag has been dropped from the build.

0.8.6

Changelog:

New features:

• Expression-bodied @ExpandableSentence and test functions now render. A function written with an expression body — fun theDetails() = arrayOf(aField of "John", ...) — previously produced an empty expandable popup, because an expression body emits no statement for the source parser to turn into a sentence. Expression bodies now render through the same path as block bodies. When the whole body is a single wrapping call (arrayOf(...), listOf(...), or any builder(args)) the call itself is stripped so only its contents render — a matcher/element list reads as a clean list without the surrounding builder. Lambda-delegating bodies (= with(context) { ... }, = test { ... }) are untouched and keep rendering their lambda statements; block bodies are unchanged.
• /*+ Ignore */ source hint. A /*+ Ignore */ comment on its own line drops the rendered tokens on the next source line from the report sentence; /*+ Ignore:n */ drops the next n lines. It works anywhere in a test or @ExpandableSentence body — a manual way to hide distracting plumbing (a wrapping return arrayOf( line, a gnarly builder chain) from the sentence without changing the test. Complements the existing /*+ ReplaceSentence: ... */ hint.

0.8.5

Changelog:

Changed:

• primary participant now renders as the leftmost participant. Previously primary.participant(...) was only emitted as an empty-diagram fallback for marker-only tests — configuring primary.actor("SUT") alongside other participants required re-declaring "SUT" via participant("SUT") to actually see it. SequenceDiagramFactory now prepends the primary's line to the participants list whenever it is set, so primary means what it reads as: the leftmost participant. When the same name is already declared (top-level or inside a box { }) the primary is suppressed so the explicit declaration wins and keeps its position. Docs.
• Test headers cap inline issue badges. A test card header now renders at most three @Issue badges inline; any beyond that fold into a +N more popover listing the full set in a scrollable grid, so long issue lists no longer push the header layout around. Badges still link to the issue tracker, and the popover trigger does not toggle the test card.
• Tidier parameterised invocation headers. Long backend display names now truncate to a single line (full text on hover) instead of wrapping and growing the header box, and a leading JUnit-style [N] index prefix is stripped from the name since the card already carries a #N badge (a bare [123] with no trailing space — e.g. a Kotest list toString — is left intact).
• Sidebar test leaves read as leaves. Test rows are inset past the absent-chevron gutter and the leaf diamond's stroke is thickened, so individual tests no longer blend in with the container folders above them.

Performance:

• Parsing no longer serialises on hash-bin collisions. The per-method and per-class parser caches moved off ConcurrentHashMap.computeIfAbsent, which holds the bin lock for the entire duration of a (potentially slow) parse and blocks unrelated threads whose keys land in the same bin. They now use a CompletableFuture-based memoize that reserves the slot and runs the parse outside the lock, so concurrent first-time parses of different classes/methods proceed in parallel.
• Lower retained heap from cached parse trees. MethodDeclarationContext now severs the parsed method body from its parent chain, so a cached ParsedMethod no longer pins the entire enclosing AST in memory.

Fixes:

• No report written when no tests ran. writeAllResults forced the lazy ResultWriter even with an empty test set, which recreated (wiped) the output directory and wrote an empty report — destroying any report from a previous run. It now returns early when no test containers were recorded, leaving the output directory untouched on a zero-test run. Covers every framework adapter (JUnit 5/6, TestNG, Kotest), which all funnel through the same call.
• Breadcrumb no longer nests <li> inside <li>. The package breadcrumb in the detail header rendered its separator as an <li> inside the item <li>, tripping React's validateDOMNesting warning. The separator is now a sibling of the item under the list.

0.8.4

Changelog:

New features:

• Sidebar tree auto-expands while filtering. Typing in the test filter now reveals matches inside user-collapsed folders without touching the persisted shape — clear the filter and your collapse/expand state is restored exactly as it was. Builds on the v0.8.3 expand/collapse toolbar.

Fixes:

• Collapse-all now collapses every folder, not just project roots. The ⌥+[ toolbar button only added per-source project roots to the collapsed set; package nodes were built dynamically per-render and never reached the expansion state, so opening a collapsed root revealed every nested package already expanded. The package tree is now materialised before expansion state sees it, matching IntelliJ behaviour: collapse-all → opening the root shows only its top-level entries; expand-all opens every folder.
• Persisted tree state is bounded. kensa-tree-collapsed in localStorage now caps at 5000 entries, dropping the oldest on load. Prevents unbounded growth in long-lived workspaces where folder ids churn (heavy package refactors, frequent packageDisplay mode switches).
• All Kensa modules now appear in the BOM. Modules added after the BOM's last refresh were missing from kensa-bom, so importing the BOM didn't constrain their versions.

0.8.3

Changelog:

New features:

• Sidebar tree expand/collapse toolbar. Two icon buttons live inline with the Test Explorer group label: expand-all (⌥+]) and collapse-all (⌥+[). Expansion state persists to localStorage so the tree's open/closed shape survives reload. Newly-seen folder ids that aren't yet in storage stay expanded by default — no surprises after a build adds packages.
• Parameterised test display. Invocation card headers no longer truncate parameter lists. A hybrid summary picks one of three shapes per invocation: the backend-supplied displayName when present (e.g. JUnit's [1] arg1, arg2); an inline comma-join when there are ≤3 parameters and the joined string fits in 80 characters; or a N params count chip otherwise. When the header had to drop information the expanded card body grows a structured parameters table; when the header already listed everything the table is suppressed to avoid redundancy. Above the per-invocation cards a cross-invocation matrix renders whenever a test has ≥2 invocations and every invocation carries ≥2 parameters — clicking a row scrolls to and expands the matching card. Values flow through a small client-side classifier that colours numbers / booleans / null / strings / JSON code-style.

Fixes:

• Console banner now prints an absolute output path. The "Kensa Output:" line emitted at the end of a run is what IntelliJ turns into a clickable hyperlink — but only when the path is fully qualified. Relative outputDir values (common under @KensaTest YAML config or any konfigure { outputDir = Path(...) } with a relative argument) silently failed to link. Resolved to absolute at print time so the hyperlink works regardless of how outputDir was supplied.

0.8.2

Changelog:

New features:

• Framework-native tags surfaced in reports. JUnit @Tag, Kotest @Tags, and TestNG @Test(groups = ...) now flow through to the HTML report as badges on each test (alongside @Issue badges) and as a multi-select cloud in the sidebar with OR-logic filtering. Click a badge to filter by that tag; Cmd/Ctrl/Shift-click to add to the current selection.
• sequenceDiagram { } Kotlin DSL on Configuration for declaring participants, boxes, title, hide-unlinked, and a fallback identity. Declaration order is left-to-right on the rendered diagram. Each participant call (participant, actor, boundary, control, entity, database, collections, queue) returns a handle so .withColour(...) and .withAlias(...) chain inline. box(title) { ... } wraps nested participants. Docs.
• primary.<type>(name) fallback identity. A test that captures only dividers (SD-MARKER / ==Something==) or has no participants previously produced markup PlantUML couldn't recognise as a sequence diagram — falling into the error path that pulls in QR-code (zxing) classes stripped from the shadow JAR. Configure sequenceDiagram { primary.actor("User") } to inject a single participant for these cases. Only emitted when no participants are declared and no real arrow interactions are captured.

Fixes:

• UI no longer caches loadJson / loadText fetches. Browser-side requests for indices.json, results/*.json, and source-file text now go out with cache: 'no-store' so a regenerated report is picked up on reload without a hard refresh.
• Late-applied sequence-diagram config is now observed by the factory. When Kensa.konfigure { ... } runs from a companion-object init block (a common pattern — e.g., your own JUnit extension) it may execute after KensaLifecycleManager.initialise(...) has already constructed SequenceDiagramFactory. Previously the factory captured a reference to the old var umlDirectives list, so a subsequent umlDirectives = listOf(...) reassignment was invisible to it — the rendered diagram had no participant declarations and PlantUML laid out participants from interaction order alone. The factory now reads from the shared list at render time, so post-init reassignment via the deprecated setter (or the new sequenceDiagram { } block) is honoured.

Deprecated:

• Configuration.umlDirectives — replaced by the sequenceDiagram { } block. The legacy setter still works but clears the directives list and invalidates any retained participant handle from a prior sequenceDiagram { } block. Java consumers can keep using it until a richer Java-side API lands.

0.8.1

Changelog:

New features:

• Spring Boot starter — two new modules (kensa-spring-boot-starter, kensa-spring-boot-starter-web) wire Kensa into Spring Boot tests with zero manual configuration: @KensaTest boots the application context with Kensa registered as a JUnit Jupiter extension and configures the runtime from kensa.* properties in application.yml. The -web module auto-configures HandlerInterceptor / ClientHttpRequestInterceptor / ExchangeFilterFunction beans that capture HTTP interactions for the sequence diagram. Override any capture point by registering a bean with the canonical name (kensaHandlerInterceptor, kensaClientHttpRequestInterceptor, kensaExchangeFilterFunction) to plug in a party-aware variant. Spring deps are compileOnly — non-Spring projects on kensa-core see no transitive Spring dependency. Docs.

Changed:

• @ExpandableSentence bodies are now parsed lazily — the parser runs only on first access, so unused expandable methods incur no parse cost.
• JUnit framework adapters — softer version pin. kensa-framework-junit5 and -junit6 previously consumed the junit-bom at implementation scope, which propagated as a hard runtime dep and made Kensa's JUnit version a floor for consumers. The BOM is now compileOnly; the published POM still carries it as <scope>import</scope> in <dependencyManagement> (so suggested versions are visible to Maven consumers) but is no longer a runtime dep, letting Spring Boot's dependency-management plugin and similar version-managers win cleanly. junit-jupiter-api, junit-jupiter-params, and junit-platform-launcher still ship transitively at implementation scope, so consumer classpaths are unchanged. The dead junit-jupiter-engine declaration was removed (the adapter's listener uses junit-platform-engine types brought in via the launcher).
• TestNG framework adapter — testng is now compileOnly. kensa-framework-testng no longer ships TestNG transitively. TestNG users already declare testng explicitly in their build, so the practical impact is nil; the win is that the adapter no longer imposes a TestNG version on consumers.

Fixes:

• Remove -Xexplicit-backing-fields again (re-introduced unintentionally in 0.8.0). Downstream Kotlin projects no longer need -Xskip-prerelease-check to consume kensa-core.
• Per-source component diagrams in site mode. The HTML UI was loading every per-source aggregateComponentDiagram from each sources/<id>/indices.json but then only using the first source's diagram as a global System View — every other source's architecture was silently dropped. Site mode now renders one System View per source, surfaced as a "System View" entry inside each source's tree root in the sidebar. Single-sourceset projects are unaffected (one source → one entry).
• kensa-framework-junit5: per-class results/*.json files now write correctly on JUnit Jupiter < 5.13. The CloseableTestContainer that hooks end-of-class teardown used java.io.Closeable, which the Jupiter ExtensionContext.Store only honours on 5.13+; on 5.12 (forced by Spring Boot 3.5.x) the close callback never fired and test detail files were silently dropped. Switched to ExtensionContext.Store.CloseableResource, which is honoured by every 5.x version.

0.8.0

Changelog:
New features:

• Kotest Field Assertion DSL — three new modules (kensa-kotest-test-support, -xml, -json) providing a MatcherField<T, R> interface and composable, named-field matchers for JSON and XML payloads. Extension functions of / matching / withListOf / withSetOf / toMatcher produce standard Matcher<T?> values that compose with then(collector, matcher). Failure messages are auto-prefixed with the field's description. Docs.
• Hamkrest Field Assertion DSL — three new modules (kensa-hamkrest-test-support, -xml, -json) providing a MatcherField<T, R> interface and composable, named-field matchers for JSON and XML payloads. Extension functions of / matching / withListOf / withSetOf / toMatcher produce standard Matcher<T?> values that compose with then(collector, matcher). Failure messages are auto-prefixed with the field's description. Docs.
• Phrasing sugar in both flavours — with, thatHas (single + vararg), thatIs, shouldHaveAll — for assertions that read like English at the call-site. Docs.
• @RenderedValueWithHint integration for field DSL — JSONPointer / XPath surfaced as on-hover hints in the report. Docs.
• Site mode for HTML reports — runtime, UI, and CLI integration. Docs.
• Experimental UI test framework with Playwright and Selenium adapters (framework-playwright, framework-selenium, plus -junit5 / -junit6 variants). Docs.
• Component diagram view. Shows all interactions between components in a test suite. Docs.
• UI Click-to-filter passed / failed / disabled badges on the sidebar footer.
• UI Scrollable expandable popups.
• Missing andEventually overloads on the kotest assertion entry points.

Changed:

• CLI updated for site mode; warns on Kensa-version drift between the CLI and the report it serves. Docs.
• Local builds now default the version to snapshot-version.txt.

Fixes:

• getFailingLine choosing the wrong line number.
• Default-mode @ExpandableRenderedValue rendering.
• Kotest matcher double-execute inside andEventually.

Breaking:

• Legacy UI removed (deprecated in 0.7.0; Configuration.uiMode and KensaConfigurator.withUiMode(...) are gone, along with the UiMode enum).
