  • You must call the Vertx parameter before any parameter that requires it for creation. For example, when injecting a WebClient.
  • vertx-junit5 module supports only the vertx-core module.
  • reactiverse-junit5-extensions module hosts extensions that contain extra parameter types, such as, WebClient.
  • RxJava 1 and 2 bindings are now available as vertx-junit5-rx-java and vertx-junit5-rx-java2 modules in the vertx-junit5-extensions repository.

The VertxTestContext.succeeding() and VertxTestContext.failing() methods have been deprecated. Use VertxTestContext.succeedingThenComplete() and VertxTestContext.failingThenComplete() methods instead.
