What's new

The big new feature in this release is prerequisites: the ability to specify that some tasks must run before another task. For example, say you need to build your app before running the journey tests - now you can specify this in your batect.yml:

tasks:
  build:
    description: Build the application.
    run:
      container: build-env
      command: ./build.sh

  journeyTest:
    description: Run the journey tests.
    run:
      container: build-env
      command: ./journeyTest.sh
    start:
      - app
    prerequisites:
      - build

The sample project has been updated to take advantage of this feature.

What's been fixed

• The batect script will now produce a more friendly error message if Java is not installed.
