Try out 2.0.0!

[nipafx]

Hey folks,

we recently published the first release candidate for version 2.0 and call on Pioneer users to try it out and give us feedback. These are the most noteworthy changes over the last 1.x release (1.9.1):

• required Java version is now 11
• the module descriptor (module-info.class) is now in the JAR's root directory
• the old variant of the Cartesian test extension was deprecated in 1.6.0 and is now removed - users must migrate to the new variant
• the default locale extension no longer uses the deprecated Locale constructors but the more stringent Locale.Builder, which means tests may fail during setup - update their locale string to match one that Locale.Builder would accept

If these (or any other changes) cause you unexpected problems, please let us know. Also, if you try it out and everything works, that is also an important signal, so leave a comment in that case, too.

I got the first (potential) issue. I updated the demo project to RC1 and the Jackson capability thingy doesn't work for me:

Execution failed for task ':test'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':testRuntimeClasspath'.
   > Could not resolve org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer.
     Required by:
         project :
      > Unable to find a variant of org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer:2.0.0-RC1 providing the requested capability org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer-jackson:
           - Variant compile provides org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer:2.0.0-RC1
           - Variant runtime provides org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer:2.0.0-RC1
           - Variant platform-compile provides org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer-derived-platform:2.0.0-RC1
           - Variant platform-runtime provides org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer-derived-platform:2.0.0-RC1
           - Variant enforced-platform-compile provides org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer-derived-enforced-platform:2.0.0-RC1
           - Variant enforced-platform-runtime provides org.junit-pioneer:junit-pioneer-derived-enforced-platform:2.0.0-RC1

Interestingly, it doesn't work for 1.9.0 either but for 1.9.1. 🤔

I have added a minimal GitHub Actions build for Maven and Gradle (see junit-pioneer/junit-pioneer-demo@13e9b6f). Both passed, but locally Gradle was failing for me, too. Looks like mavenLocal() was a problem (see junit-pioneer/junit-pioneer-demo@1e0bf43), now it also builds locally. 🎉

Oh neat! Thank you for looking into this! ❤️

• the module descriptor (module-info.class) is now in the JAR's root directory

Modular usage is (still/now) working like a charm.
