Stryker4s

Professor X: For someone who hates mutants... you certainly keep some strange company.
William Stryker: Oh, they serve their purpose... as long as they can be controlled.

Introduction

For an introduction to mutation testing and Stryker's features, see stryker-mutator.io. Looking for mutation testing in JavaScript or .NET?

Getting Started

For the quickstart, see our website's quickstart.

Stryker4s is a mutation testing framework for Scala. It allows you to test your tests by temporarily inserting bugs. Depending on your project setup, there are multiple ways to get started with Stryker4s.

Sbt plugin

Stryker4s provides a sbt plugin for easy use within sbt projects. To install the plugin, add the following line to plugins.sbt Maven Central:

addSbtPlugin("io.stryker-mutator" % "sbt-stryker4s" % stryker4sVersion)

After adding the plugin, Stryker4s can be used by running sbt stryker in the root of your project.

Multi-module projects

Multi-module projects are not yet fully supported. However, there is a workaround you can use while we work on a better solution. Set the base-directory to the correct directory of the submodule with the base-dir configuration setting. Then you can run sbt "project yourSubmoduleNameHere" stryker to set the active project and run Stryker4s.

Maven plugin

The Maven plugin can be added as follows in pom.xml under <plugins> Maven Central:

<plugin>
    <groupId>io.stryker-mutator</groupId>
    <artifactId>stryker4s-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${stryker4s.version}</version>
</plugin>

You can then run Stryker4s with the command mvn stryker4s:run. Note that this is different than the command for the sbt plugin.

Pre-release versions

We also publish SNAPSHOT versions of each commit on master. To use a pre-release, add the following setting to your build.sbt and plugins.sbt:

resolvers ++= Resolver.sonatypeOssRepos("snapshots")

Then replace the Stryker4s version with this version: Sonatype Nexus (Snapshots).

Configuration

See the configuration page for setting up your stryker4s.conf file (optional).

Supported mutators

Stryker4s supports a variety of mutators, which can be found here. Do you have a suggestion for a (new) mutator? Feel free to create an issue!

An always up-to-date reference is also available in the MutantMatcher source.

Changelog

See the releases page for all the latest changes made.
