upgrade_v7.md

Upgrading from 6.x to 7.x

Upgrading from v6 should be straightforward. Prior to upgrading to v7.0.0 upgrade to latest v6.x and stop using all deprecated features. Some features will log a deprecation warning.

Scala 3 support

This release brings Scala 3 support.

Syntactic changes

If you use Scala 3, you might need to change slightly some of your glue code:

• parenthesis are now necessary even around a single-argument step or hook definition

// Won't compile anymore
Given("Something {}") { str: String =>
    // ...
}

// Instead use:
Given("Something {}") { (str: String) =>
  // ...
}

• hooks must explicitly return Unit (most of the time you already had compile errors with such statements in Scala 2.x as well)

Before {
  // ... // Some code not retuning Unit
  () // Explicit Unit
}

Other changes

The line numbers provided in reports might slightly change from start of a step definition to end of a step definition in some cases. In case of errors, these line numbers should be more accurate than before.
