@sboishtyan I would suggest to start with separate

on(”true”) { it(”does c”) {} } on(”false”) { it(”does d”) {}

and once you feel comfortable with that — use more complicated things and reduce boilerplate, you’ll naturally find solutions that’ll fit your coding style since Spek tests are just kotlin code in a giant lambda expression

Do you guys know how can I solve this problem?

codeslubber

04/08/2017, 3:14 AM

it’s probably a known issue that when you run parts of a spec (click the green arrow next to a describe, e.g.), it still runs other parts of the test.. ?

Does anybody have issues with InteliJ (Android Studio)? The tests I make are not updated when running after a change to them 😞

snowe

04/20/2017, 11:44 PM

what is really weird is that I don't have any issues running it with maven through the command line, but I think that's because it's actually not running. I can't get surefire to actually run the test.

snowe

04/26/2017, 2:37 PM

I have three projects I'm attempting to get it working with. Two I found on github, one of those two is able to run in both intellij and maven, but it's source and test sources are both in src/main/kotlin and src/test/kotlin, so I found a different project where it's more along the lines of what I have, where the src is in src/main/java and the tests are in src/test/java and the src is java and the tests are kotlin. I was able to modify that to get it working, but attempting to do the same with our company project (which has multiple levels of parent poms and plugin management) has not been successful.

codeslubber

04/27/2017, 2:50 PM

not a Spek complaint but doesn’t it seem insane that build is still a single file that has to have a bunch of configs for each thing that is needed?? maybe time for a refactor like the one Tomcat did: instead of one file, let each tool install some little config stub in a directory then the tool loads them all…

Hi, I just want to ask when is the next release for Spek. I found the problem on this https://github.com/JetBrains/spek/issues/195 and I saw it was already fixed in master. Do Spek have the snapshot version or something?

jackmiras

05/15/2017, 5:26 PM

@jk I've tried apply the changes suggested at this issue but nothing happen, the only thing the solves the problem is to do a downgrade the version of junit plugin from M4 to M3.

jackmiras

05/17/2017, 7:06 PM

@jk Nothing change

raniejade

05/21/2017, 12:16 PM

@robfletcher can you give an example?

robfletcher

05/25/2017, 6:07 PM

Are we going to get a Spek option for IntelliJ’s create test wizard?

wst

06/07/2017, 11:17 PM

So what should you do when having a mocks with different behavior? Create a spek for each case?

pniederw

06/18/2017, 5:40 AM

@aalmiray doesn’t look like rules are supported in spek?

witoldsz

06/26/2017, 12:34 PM

Hello, I have an issue with Spek. It looks like it does share objects between tests within a file. In Java I was using JUnit and each test recreates everything, so there are no issues with some dirty state from test X leaking to test Y. Am I doing something wrong?

jackmiras

06/27/2017, 1:52 AM

@raniejade this android-junit5 repository apparently works but I'm still getting a error called:

Error:Gradle: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguardForDebug'.
> Job failed, see logs for details

Ian

07/06/2017, 2:52 AM

Anyone have any ideas?

dsgryazin

07/19/2017, 8:49 PM

Please, anyone, share gists or repos with reallife spek tests? Need more examples for investigation. Android projects preffered

artur.dryomov

07/21/2017, 4:23 AM

@dsgryazin I gave a talk just recently with a special Spek section —

<https://speakerdeck.com/arturdryomov/kotlin-max-payne-bkug-july-2017>

. It will not answer all your questions, but projects Artem listed are great examples similar to what we do. Internally we use JUnit 4 runner on a JUnit 5 platform

1.0.0-M4

, mostly because IJ reliably supports only JUnit 4 across all its versions.

M5

broke our tests in a way, so yeah.

Hey I have been playing with

Spek

and I can't run them for Android project.

Spek

seems to have general problem with JUnit4 runner, so I am not sure how can I use it for Android project? Here is my sample project https://github.com/igorwojda/migrate-java-tests-to-kotlin I would be grateful if some one would take a look and give some fix hints or share working Spek on Android project

brainail

08/09/2017, 9:01 PM

With the same configuration everything works in AS 2.3.+ So maybe it's because of new gradle version ...

08/18/2017, 8:11 PM

sounds like this issue: https://github.com/JetBrains/spek/issues/248#issuecomment-323049464 - I linked directly to the workaround

patjackson52

08/24/2017, 1:35 PM

Hi all! Recently used Spek in a port of the official Actions on Google SDK (Node.js) to kotlin. It worked great porting mocha & chai tests. I could literally copy and paste the JS, find and replace a few things and have a good place to start. Thank you Jetbrains, and who ever writes/maintains Spek. https://medium.com/ticketmaster-mobile-studio/introducing-actions-on-google-sdk-for-koltlin-java-89330f69be8f

08/30/2017, 3:23 PM

Hi. I'm new to Spek. Trying to get my first tests to run. I'm having trouble with the "given, on, it" style. My tests don't run. If I leave out the "on" then the test does run. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

09/07/2017, 12:46 PM

@raniejade the version numbers on http://spekframework.org/docs/latest/ are still showing 1.1.2 (and the older version of junit-platform)

aaronfox

09/15/2017, 3:08 PM

That didn't work either, command line or otherwise

dave08

09/18/2017, 5:36 PM

Any workaround? We should maybe open an issue?

reline

09/22/2017, 7:33 PM

I'm on kotlin 1.1.4-3

whitney

09/22/2017, 7:37 PM

I noticed that version 1.1.5 is available now; however, it does not seem to be up on Maven Central. Are you planning to upload it there?

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 3:09 AM

Trying to add Spek to an Android project.. I wish I could get all the time back I have spent in the past few years diddling around with these insane build files.. will it ever be possible to create a project and get some tests running in less than a few hours??

raniejade

09/25/2017, 3:15 AM

Yep there is and it’s planned for 2.x. We will provide our own gradle plugin (which will use JUnit 5 under the hood) for jvm and android projects.

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 3:19 AM

Hate to whine about this but OMG I am so burned out on this thing.. I got it all to build the tests, but when I go to run it (inside AS3) it says that it cannot find the tests:

how can I paste an image into a thread??

raniejade

09/25/2017, 3:21 AM

So sorry about that. What version are you using? You might be experiencing this issue: https://github.com/JetBrains/spek/issues/248

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 3:21 AM

WARNING: TestEngine with ID ‘spek’ failed to discover tests

is the message

yeah I looked at that thread

seriously a link to that should be in the first paragraph of the docs

like the sign in the inferno: ‘those who enter here…’

I mean I see a lot of bonfires, but that thread is super insane.. bleak

I couldn’t even follow it after a while

that’s from a while ago

I am using AS3B6

I added dependencies with the filtering

raniejade

09/25/2017, 3:24 AM

if you can paste the build I can take a look.

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 3:25 AM

if you want I could add you to the repo

it’s on github

raniejade

09/25/2017, 3:25 AM

sure

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 3:28 AM

ok added you

thanks Ranie!

I bet you will figure it out in minutes.. sorry, I have used Spek a lot of times before and have never seen this problem…

usually if the tests compile they run

(but have not used it in Android…)

raniejade

09/25/2017, 3:30 AM

Looking into it now.

I don’t see anything spek related in master?

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 3:33 AM

oh wait!!

sorry about that !!

ok it’s there

@raniejade did you get it to build?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 3:38 AM

yep, testing out a fix. Looks like we need to update the docs. JUnit 5 gradle plugin doesn’t like android projects.

I’ll try it out with this https://github.com/mannodermaus/android-junit5

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 3:40 AM

ok sure

changing to junit 5 is fine

I created the project with the basic AS3 template

the junit tests don’t run anymore either..

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:02 AM

do you need it running as well?

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:03 AM

just if I cannot get Spek to work

will have to use JUnit

I am putting together a Kotlin intro course

to convince a team that’s using J to use K

I think if we got into the setup and dropped into this smoking hole it would have been a short argument…

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:04 AM

sure 🙂

looks like it’s more of kotlin - android issue https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/64804587

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:25 AM

uh oh

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:26 AM

pretty sure this was fixed in the canary builds

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:26 AM

so should I just abandon all hope of getting this to work?

canary builds of Kotlin?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:26 AM

android

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:26 AM

AS3 is canary isn’t it using canary K?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:27 AM

trying out the canary builds

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:27 AM

great

so basically the kotlin files are not getting copied during the build of the test target? wow…

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:33 AM

yeah 😞

I finally made it work

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:47 AM

no way!!

how?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:48 AM

I’ll create a PR.

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:48 AM

fantastic!!

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:49 AM

I would blame gradle 4 for this. hahaha

To make jUnit 4 work again, just add JUnit5's vintage engine to the test classpath

Let me know if it works for you 🙂

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:53 AM

just pulled

I think I have your changes

getting the same thing

lemme double check but the build was a very long one so it was doing something new

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:53 AM

can you run clean?

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:54 AM

tried that then reran tests again

lemme try close/open

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:54 AM

./gradlew clean test

ahh

wait your running it from AS right?

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:55 AM

yes

oh crap

😞 same thing I just want to jump out the window

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:56 AM

you might need to add a before run task for your run configuration

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:56 AM

that’s 3 hours gone that could have gone into building something

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:56 AM

wait let me try something

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:56 AM

did you do that?

will I have to do that for each test?

yeah there was a Run Configuration already of course

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:57 AM

can you add this in the root build.gradle

subprojects { subProject ->
    afterEvaluate {
        if (subProject.plugins.hasPlugin("kotlin") && subProject.plugins.hasPlugin("java-library")) {
            subProject.kotlin.copyClassesToJavaOutput = true
            subProject.jar.duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE
        }
    }
}

then resync the project, delete any existing run configurations

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:58 AM

dump that in the bottom?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:58 AM

yep

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:59 AM

after allProjects {}

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:59 AM

yes

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 4:59 AM

got it

raniejade

09/25/2017, 4:59 AM

the initial PR was fixing the issue when running the tests via cmd line

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:00 AM

WARNING: TestEngine with ID ‘spek’ failed to discover tests org.junit.platform.commons.util.PreconditionViolationException: Could not load class with name: com.tvcoursework.kotlinintrocourse.CurrencyTest at org.junit.platform.engine.discovery.ClassSelector.lambda$getJavaClass$0(ClassSelector.java:71)

yeah command line tests are a joke

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:00 AM

ughhh

wait

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:00 AM

Xcode was just rewritten completely and the tests just work and are blazingly fast

these guys all have ios and android teams so.. don’t think I can tell them to go back to the CLI… 🙂

ok waiting.. ?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:02 AM

can you add this dependency testImplementation org.junit.platform:junit-platform-runner:1.0.0

are you using the Spek plugin?

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:04 AM

yes

I have it installed

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:04 AM

latest version?

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:05 AM

just installed tonight?

but wait

maybe I installed the last stable one

which one should I get?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:05 AM

v0.4.3

should be the latest

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:06 AM

yeah that’s what I have

ok so still same message ?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:06 AM

ughhhh

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:06 AM

after adding the last dependency..

should I delete the Run Config?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:06 AM

yep please

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:07 AM

nope same thing

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:07 AM

hmmm

last

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:07 AM

OMG seriously I don’t even remember what I wanted to build with these tools anymore.. I remember I was excited about it.. a while ago.. 😞

last?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:08 AM

going to downgrade to RC2

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:08 AM

OMG who thought this stuff was ready to be used.. for all the hype K is getting right now, this is utter madness…

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:11 AM

push something into master

can you pull and reimport?

don’t have AS 3.0 here, downloading it but it’s slow 😞

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:12 AM

oh no.. wow

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:13 AM

I have a copy at home, I can check this later

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:13 AM

ok thanks I guess I will give up for tonight

feel like a whipped dog

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:13 AM

I’m pretty sure I got a working android project at home using AS 3.0

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:13 AM

this thing should have cones up around it

great

as I said

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:14 AM

I’ll let you know

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:14 AM

I did a brand new project

all I did was attempt to add Spek

you have access to the repo

hell I will make a donation to your Patreon page (if you have one) if/when this gets working

I don’t have tons more time to vaporize into this hole, have to prep other stuff… 😧

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:15 AM

No worries, I’ll update you once things are working 🙂

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:16 AM

I am still kind of confused about whether AS3 is required to show Kotlin on O?

should I just use 2.3.3?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:17 AM

I don’t have any idea, not an android dev 🙂

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:17 AM

why cannot I paste a bloody image into a thread???

alright thanks Ranie

really appreciate your efforts

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:18 AM

no worries 🙂

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:18 AM

if you can make it work, will you send another MR?

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:19 AM

yes

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 5:19 AM

great thanks.. !

raniejade

09/25/2017, 5:47 AM

got it working (again) lol

but now it’s running in AS

PR sent 🙂

codeslubber

09/25/2017, 2:05 PM

dude you da man!! great job!

OMG you will not believe this @raniejade it stopped working again and is spitting up errors.. completely insane..

I pushed you could take a look if you want, I think I am done with Spek, probably forever.. gonna try and just use JUnit….

raniejade

09/26/2017, 12:19 AM

I think you still have the same problem when using JUnit. Real issue is that classes compiled by kotlin are copied over to the directory AS expects.

codeslubber

09/26/2017, 1:07 AM

so far junit is working

raniejade

09/26/2017, 1:08 AM

Interesting, hmmm. I'll take a look again.

codeslubber

09/26/2017, 1:15 AM

appreciate your efforts

frankly the vanilla project does junit 4.x

but has hamcrest which is actually ok

raniejade

09/26/2017, 1:20 AM

My problem with AS they have a lot of hardcoded stuff for specific test frameworks. In fact the spek idea plugin, takes advantage of that. Tricked AS to treat spek as Specs2.

codeslubber

09/26/2017, 1:32 AM

weird

raniejade

09/26/2017, 2:40 AM

sent another PR. This really annoying, kotlin and android integration really sucks in 3.0.

Pretty sure this was working w/ 3.0 Canary, was working with spek plugin at that time. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/64804587

codeslubber

09/26/2017, 2:43 AM

wow ok will try it

thanks again

you would think they would be taking K more seriously amidst all the hype

raniejade

09/26/2017, 2:46 AM

True, I think the problem is there is no or little coordination between the android and kotlin team.

timrijckaert

09/26/2017, 8:05 AM

btw https://github.com/JetBrains/spek/issues/256

seems like we are in the same boat

raniejade

09/26/2017, 8:06 AM

Ahh, shit. Sorry totally forgot about that ticket. I think I may have a fix.

@timrijckaert let me reply on the ticket.

timrijckaert

09/26/2017, 10:56 PM

Is the repo from @codeslubber somewhere public so I can check the config that is needed to get Spek to run in AS3?

codeslubber

09/26/2017, 11:02 PM

@timrijckaert it is not public but happy to send you the gradle files, that’s all you need to see right?

timrijckaert

09/26/2017, 11:02 PM

yes

or you could show them to the world and help everybody https://github.com/JetBrains/spek/issues/256

mmaillot

09/27/2017, 1:16 PM

I very interesting to see the gradle too 🙂

raniejade

09/27/2017, 1:45 PM

@mmaillot check the ticket 🙂

mmaillot

09/27/2017, 1:46 PM

Thanks you ! 🙂

timrijckaert

09/27/2017, 2:34 PM

Nice this seems to resolve my issues thanks @raniejade & @codeslubber

codeslubber

09/27/2017, 2:35 PM

Good to hear @timrijckaert

timrijckaert

09/27/2017, 2:38 PM

Maybe a good idea to update the docs to reflect a better guide on how to setup Spek with Android

codeslubber

09/27/2017, 2:43 PM

That was one of the first things @raniejade said. To me one of the biggest problems in tech is that cones are not put up around open man holes so people fall in all the time. Probably in the future, there will be bots that will continuously estimate the likelihood that a chosen toe path will get you where you want to go without falling off a cliff..

raniejade

09/27/2017, 3:52 PM

https://github.com/JetBrains/spek/pull/271

I don't know why this hasn't been fixed yet, but it's kinda annoying that you have to tell android where the kotlin sources are.

sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
        test.java.srcDirs += 'src/test/kotlin'
    }

mannodermaus

09/27/2017, 10:38 PM

For me, the proposed code snippet doesn’t run directly from AS (

ClassNotFound

JUnit5IdeaTestRunner

) unless I also explicitly add the

android-junit5-embedded-runtime

artifact from the plugin’s repo. I’ll amend the issue with that, just in case somebody else stumbles upon it

Also, the android-junit5 aren’t setup completely in there. I’ll do some clean-up and remove the unnecessary stuff before we can attach it to spek’s docs!

timrijckaert

09/28/2017, 9:02 AM

Nice work it makes more sense now. I'm not at home with all this configuration work. I just wanna write a Spek test. Thanks for the steps in the issue. Maybe @raniejadecan add this to his PR
