I’m pleased to announce that Skippy 0.0.7 has been released and is now available in Gradle’s Plugin Portal and Maven Central.

Highlights

Earlier versions generated coverage data by initiating a separate build for each skippified test, utilizing Gradle’s Tooling API. This method significantly slowed down skippyAnalyze, making it much slower than Gradle’s check task.

Skippy has undergone a complete overhaul in this release. The latest version efficiently generates per-test coverage data for all tests, achieving this with minimal overhead compared to check. This improvement is thanks to a new approach that utilizes JUnit 5 extensions to capture per-test coverage.

The overhaul, which moves responsibilities from the Gradle plugin into the core Java libraries, paves the way to add Maven support in the future. It also marks a significant milestone in Skippy’s evolution from proof-of-concept into practical solution to the challenges faced by developers in complex build environments.
