Release Notes

google/error-prone (com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core)

v2.44.0: Error Prone 2.44.0

Compare Source

Changes

• The default severity for LabelledBreakTarget is now an error
• Update dependency on Guava (#​5108)

Closed issues: #​5218, #​5278

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.43.0...v2.44.0

v2.43.0: Error Prone 2.43.0

Compare Source

The minimum support 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

Compare Source

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.

v2.41.0: Error Prone 2.41.0

Compare Source

Changes:

• Temporarily downgrade to Guava 33.4.0 (#​5108)

Checks:

• BooleanLiteral: Prefer true to Boolean.TRUE

Issues: #​4996, #​5045

Compare Source

• MisleadingEmptyVarargs: Discourages calling varargs methods that expect at least one argument with no arguments, like Mockito's thenThrow
• PreconditionsExpensiveString: Discourages expensive string formatting in Guava Preconditions checks
• SelfSet: Detects mistakes like proto.setFoo(proto.getFoo())
• UnnecessaryCopy: detect unnecessary copies of proto Lists and Maps.

Closed issues: #​4924, #​4897, #​4995

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.37.0...v2.38.0

v2.37.0: Error Prone 2.37.0

Compare Source

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.

Closed issues:

• 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)

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.36.0...v2.37.0

v2.36.0: Error Prone 2.36.0

Compare Source

• Fix compatibility with latest JDK 24 EA builds (d67bc15)
• Check that --should-stop=ifError=FLOW is set when using the -Xplugin integration (e71db1f)

New checks:

• DuplicateBranches: Discourage conditional expressions and if statements where both branches are the same
• RedundantControlFlow: Reports redundant continue statements.

Closed issues: #​4633, #​4646

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.35.1...v2.36.0

v2.35.1: Error Prone 2.35.1

Compare Source

Error Prone's dependency on protobuf has been downgraded to 3.25.5 for this release.

Version 3.25.5 of protobuf still fixes CVE-2024-7254. This release is provided for users who aren't ready to update to 4.x, see also #​4584 and #​4634. Future versions of Error Prone will upgrade back to protobuf 4.x.

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.35.0...v2.35.1

v2.35.0: Error Prone 2.35.0

Compare Source

Changes:

• Fix handling of \s before the trailing delimiter in MisleadingEscapedSpace
• TimeUnitMismatch improvements: handle binary trees, consider trees like fooSeconds * 1000 to have units of millis

New checks:

• JavaDurationGetSecondsToToSeconds: Prefer duration.toSeconds() over duration.getSeconds()

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.34.0...v2.35.0

v2.34.0: Error Prone 2.34.0

Compare Source

Changes:

• Passing the javac flag --should-stop=ifError=FLOW is now required when running Error Prone (#​4595)
• The MemberName check was renamed to IdentifierName

New checks:

• FutureTransformAsync: The usage of transformAsync is not necessary when all the return values of the transformation function are immediate futures.
• MisformattedTestData: Reformats Java source code inside Error Prone test cases.
• MisleadingEscapedSpace: Using \s anywhere except at the end of a line in a text block is potentially misleading.
• ThrowIfUncheckedKnownUnchecked: throwIfUnchecked(knownUnchecked) is equivalent to throw knownUnchecked.

Closed issues: #​4595, #​4598, #​4620

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.33.0...v2.34.0

v2.33.0: Error Prone 2.33.0

Compare Source

Similar to release 2.32.0, the minimum supported JDK version to run Error Prone is JDK 17 (#​3803). Using Error Prone to compile code that is deployed to earlier versions is still fully supported, but will require using JDK 17 or newer for compilation and setting --release or -source/-target/-bootclasspath.

Changes:

• Update protobuf version for CVE-2024-7254

New checks:

• ArrayRecordComponent: Record components should not be arrays.

v2.31.0: Error Prone 2.31.0

Compare Source

This is the last planned minor release of Error Prone that will support running on JDK 11, see #​3803. Using Error Prone to compile code that is deployed to earlier versions will continue to be fully supported, but will require using JDK 17 or newer for compilation and setting --release or -source/-target/-bootclasspath.

Changes:

• Introduce @ThreadSafeTypeParameter with enforcement by ThreadSafe
• Improved support for latest JDK 24 EA builds
• Error Prone is now distributed as a Multi-Release jar (#​3756)

New checks:

• AutoValueBoxedValues: AutoValue instances should not usually contain boxed types that are not Nullable. We recommend removing the unnecessary boxing.

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.30.0...v2.31.0

v2.30.0: Error Prone 2.30.0

Compare Source

New checks:

• AutoValueBoxedValues: Detects unnecessary boxing in AutoValue classes.
