Language

Program and test files allow for named objects and class declarations

Now you can combine your objects and classes declarations in the same file as your programs or tests.

New test syntax

Simplified test syntax, added "assert" object, for example:

    object foo {
      method bar = 10
    }

    test "foo.bar() should return 10" {
      assert.equals(10, foo.bar())
    }

Improved imports

  • Each .wlk file defines an importable package
  • Also you can define a package inside a file
  • Allow to import packages, individual classes or named objects

More examples can be found here

Named Objects can now inherit from classes

Now, when you define an object you can specify which class it inherits from.

class MyClass {
	method myMethod() = "1234"
}
object myObject extends MyClass {
	method something() = "abc"
}

Wollokdoc

Wollok now supports a special kind of multiline comments called wollokdoc. In the same fashion as javadoc's and many other languages documentation.

New Static Checks

Wrong usage of 'if' statement for computing a boolean value

There is a new static check for wrong usages of the if statement. When you use the 'if' just for evaluating into a boolean value, then the check will fail.

Settings for Validations and Severity

Almost all language validations can be configured now, either defining them from the workspace-wide preferences or overriding that for specific projects.

For each validation you can define the severity.
