0.5.0-dev

• Support the --compiler flag, which can be used to configure which compiler to use.
  • To specify a compiler by platform, the argument supports platform selectors through this syntax [<platform>:]<compiler>. For example the command line argument --compiler vm:source would run all vm tests from source instead of compiling to kernel first.
  • If no given compiler is compatible for a platform, it will use its default compiler instead.
• Add support for -c exe (the native executable compiler) to the vm platform.
• Add Compiler class, exposed through backend.dart.
• Support compiler identifiers in platform selectors.
• List the supported compilers for each platform in the usage text.
• Update all reporters to print the compiler along with the platform name when configured to print the platform. Extend the logic for printing platofrm information to do so if any compilers are explicitly configured.
• Deprecate --use-data-isolate-strategy. It is now an alias for -c vm:source which is roughly equivalent. If this is breaking for you please file an issue.
• BREAKING Add required defaultCompiler and supportedCompilers fields to Runtime.
• BREAKING Add required compiler field to SuitePlatform.
• BREAKING Add required compilerSelections argument to some Configuration and SuiteConfiguration constructors.
• BREAKING Custom platform plugins need to respect the compiler option given through the SuitePlatform argument to PlatformPlugin.load. This is not statically breaking but it will be confusing for users if it isn't supported.
• BREAKING Remove useDataIsolateStrategy field from Configuration.

0.4.24

0.4.9

• Wait for paused VM platform isolates before shutdown.

0.4.8

• Add logging about enabling stack trace chaining to the compact and expanded reporters (moved from the invoker). This will now only be logged once after all tests have ran.

0.4.7

0.4.6

• Support query parameters name, full-name, line, and col on test paths, which will apply the filters to only those test suites.
  • All specified filters must match for a test to run.
  • Global filters (ie: --name) are also still respected and must match.
  • The line and col will match if any frame from the test trace matches (the test trace is the current stack trace where test is invoked).

• Report incomplete tests as errors in the JSON reporter when the run is canceled early.
• Don't log the --test-randomization-ordering-seed if using the json reporter.

• When no tests were ran but tags were provided, list the tag configuration.
• Update analyzer constraint to >=1.0.0 <3.0.0.

0.3.29
