v2.46.0: Error Prone 2.46.0

Compare Source

Changes:

• The javac flag -XDaddTypeAnnotationsToSymbol=true is now required for Error Prone invocations on JDK 21, to enable the javac fix for JDK-8225377: type annotations are not visible to javac plugins across compilation boundaries. See #​5426 for details.
• Remove deprecated value attribute from @IncompatibleModifiers and @RequiredModifiers (#​2122)
• Error Prone API changes to encapsulate references to internal javac APIs for end position handling (EndPosTable, DiagnosticPosition) (5440bb4, 06c2905, f3915ec)

New checks:

• DuplicateAssertion: detect duplicated assertion lines where the argument to assertThat is pure
• IfChainToSwitch: suggest converting chains of if-statements into arrow switches
• ScannerUseDelimiter: discourage Scanner.useDelimiter("\\A")
• AddNullMarkedToClass: refactoring to add @NullMarked annotation to top level classes

v2.45.0: Error Prone 2.45.0

Changes:

• Improved compatibility with latest JDK 26 EA builds.

New checks:

• AssertSameIncompatible: Detect calls to assertSame and similar assertions, where the calls are guaranteed to either succeed or fail.
• FormatStringShouldUsePlaceholders: Suggests using a format string instead of string concatenation operations on format methods

Closed issues: #​5335

The minimum supported JDK version to run Error Prone is now JDK 21 (#​4867).

Changes:

• -XepPatchChecks now skips disabled checks (#​4943)
• AndroidJdkLibsChecker has been removed, the recommended replacement for Android code is Android Lint's NewApi check

New checks:

• NullNeedsCastForVarargs: Detect calls that incorrectly passes a null array instead of a null element.
• RedundantNullCheck: detect checks on expressions that are non-null.

Closed issues: #​4943, #​5102, #​5107, #​5121, #​5158, #​5217, #​5239

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

v2.42.0: Error Prone 2.42.0

New checks:

• ExplicitArrayForVarargs: discourage unnecessary explicit construction of an array to provide varargs.
• FloggerPerWithoutRateLimit: discourage Flogger's perUnique without rate limiting
• StringJoin: Ban String.join(CharSequence) and String.join(CharSequence, CharSequence)
• ThreadBuilderNameWithPlaceholder: Do not allow placeholders in Thread.Builder.name(String) or name(String, int).

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.

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.41.0...v2.42.0

v2.41.0: Error Prone 2.41.0

New checks:

• EffectivelyPrivate: Detect declarations that have public or protected modifiers, but are effectively private

Changes:

• Skip BooleanLiteral findings if the target type is boxed (#​5134)
