Neodymium 4.X.X

4.1.5

As the previous Snakeyaml version (1.31) has some vulnerabilities that were fixed with the 1.33 version, we updated the dependency to make the library more secure.

Library Updates

• Snakeyaml 1.33

4.1.4

After Apache Common Text released a new version (1.10.0), we decided to update the dependency to prevent any attack scenarios from that side. We also updated some other tools to stay up-to-date.

Library Updates

• Apache Commons Text 1.10.0
• Apache Log4j dependencies 2.17.1
• Apache Commons Lang 3.12.0
• Snakeyaml 1.31

4.1.2

After Log4j released a new version (2.16.0), we decided to update the dependency to prevent any attack scenarios from that side. We also updated some other tools to stay up-to-date.

Library Updates

• Apache Log4j dependencies 2.16.0
• Apache Commons CSV 1.9.0
• Apache Commons Lang 3.12.0
• Browserup 2.1.2
• Jayway Jsonpath 2.6.0
• JUnit 4.13.2
• Slf4j API 1.7.32
• Snakeyaml 1.29

4.1.1

Security release Even though the standard usage of Neodymium itself doesn’t provide an easy/useful attack scenario for the log4j issue (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228), we would like to encourage all our users to update the Neodymium dependency as soon as possible to avoid any further risks.

Library Updates

• Apache Log4j dependencies 2.15.0

4.1.0

Ingredients for this release: 2-3 cups of features, one spoon of bug fixes and a handful documentation :stew:

Required Migration

• Cucumber 6 no longer supports configuration via system property variables as stated in the allure documentation see (issue). So if you use Neodymium with Cucumber as BDD approach, perform the following tasks to adapt these changes in your test suite:

  • Remove the following part from the maven-surefire-plugin plugin:

    <systemPropertyVariables>
      <cucumber.options>--plugin io.qameta.allure.cucumber5jvm.AllureCucumber5Jvm</cucumber.options>
    </systemPropertyVariables>
  

  • Option one within the test case:

    @CucumberOptions(
      features = "src/test/java/template/cucumber/features", glue = “template",
      plugin = {“io.qameta.allure.cucumber6jvm.AllureCucumber6Jvm”}
    )
    public class RunAllFeaturesTest
    {
    }
  

  • Option two within the src/test/resources/cucumber.properties file:

    cucumber.plugin=io.qameta.allure.cucumber6jvm.AllureCucumber6Jvm
