Release Notes

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

v2.49.0: Error Prone 2.49.0

This release includes several changes to Matcher APIs, and removed some deprecated or problematic APIs:

• Remove deprecated MethodMatchers.withSignature API, which relies on fragile toString behaviour. Alternatives for matching on method signatures with varargs and type parameters were added in a98a1c5.
• Removed variableType(Matcher) API. Matchers.variableType(Matcher) uses VariableTree#getType to match variable types, which own't work for lambda parameters with inferred types after JDK-8268850. The recommended replacement is variableType(TypePredicate).
• Make enclosingPackage return an optional. Module elements are not enclosed by a package, checks using enclosingPackage shouldn't assume an enclosing package exists when processing arbitrary elements.
• New FieldMatchers API, similar to MethodMatchers (1dd9c3a).

New checks:

• AssertThrowsBlockToExpression: Discourage unnecessary block lambdas in assertThrows.
• AssertThrowsMinimizer: Suggest minimizing the amount of logic in assertThrows.
• MemorySegmentReferenceEquality: Discourage using reference equality for MemorySegments.
• PreferThrowsTag: Recommends using @throws instead of the legacy @exception javadoc tag.
• RecordAccessorInCompactConstructor: detect record accessors inside the compact canonical ctors, which read uninitialized fields.

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.46.0...v2.47.0

v2.46.0: Error Prone 2.46.0

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

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.45.0...v2.46.0

Changes:

• Improved compatibility with latest JDK 26 EA builds.

Closed issues: #​5335

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.44.0...v2.45.0

v2.44.0: Error Prone 2.44.0

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

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

• 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.

v2.41.0: Error Prone 2.41.0
