Deprecations and incoming changes
This page documents current deprecations and upcoming planned changes inside Catch2. The difference between these is that a deprecated feature will be removed, while a planned change to a feature means that the feature will behave differently, but will still be present. Obviously, either of these is a breaking change, and thus will not happen until at least the next major release.
ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake
The CMake/CTest integration using ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake is deprecated,
as it can be replaced by Catch.cmake that provides the function
catch_discover_tests to get tests directly from a CMake target via the
command line interface instead of parsing C++ code with regular expressions.
CATCH_CONFIG_BAZEL_SUPPORT
Catch2 supports writing the Bazel JUnit XML output file when it is aware
that is within a bazel testing environment. Originally there was no way
to accurately probe the environment for this information so the flag
CATCH_CONFIG_BAZEL_SUPPORT was added. This now deprecated. Bazel has now had a change
where it will export BAZEL_TEST=1 for purposes like the above. Catch2
will now instead inspect the environment instead of relying on build configuration.
IEventLister::skipTest( TestCaseInfo const& testInfo )
This event (including implementations in derived classes such as ReporterBase)
is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. It is currently
invoked for all test cases that are not going to be executed due to the test run
being aborted (when using --abort or --abortx). It is however
NOT invoked for test cases that are explicitly skipped using the SKIP
macro.
