In the old memory model, global properties are eagerly initialised, whereas in the new memory model, they are lazily initialised (source). The impact of this is that a project using the new memory model will not run any tests.
Annotating properties with
@EagerInitialization
changes the behaviour to match the old memory model.Caveats:
I couldn't find an easy way to test this within the existing test setup. If you have any suggestions, happy to add a test for this.
This is only a workaround: the docs for
@EagerInitialization
emphasise that we should not rely on this annotation in the long term.
