Summary of all differences from Codeception 4

Added

• Basic attribute support
• --shard, --grep, --filter options
• Test can be filtered by data provider case number or name
• Tests of all formats are reported as useless if they perform no assertions and reports_useless_tests setting is enabled
• Array of variables can be passed to all pause functions/methods
• Dynamic configuration with parameters can use arrays and other non-string types (#6409)
• codecept_pause function and $this->pause() in unit tests (#6387)
• Interactive console is executed in the scope of paused test class.
• New code coverage settings:
  • path_coverage - enables path and branch coverage
  • strict_covers_annotation - marks test as risky if it has @covers annotation but executes some other code
  • ignore_deprecated_code - doesn't collect code coverage for code having @deprecated annotation
  • disable_code_coverage_ignore - ignores @codeCoverageIgnore, @codeCoverageIgnoreStart and @codeCoverageIgnoreEnd annotations
• Optional value to fail-fast option
• Dynamic configuration with parameters can use arrays and other non-string types
