    oops...I was meaning to ask if there is any way to implement asynchronous tests in spek?

    Anyone there?

    think twice do you really need asynchronous code in unit tests?

    No but I'd like to use Spek for more than just unit tests

    Or do you think that there are better tools for integration tests?

    you will earn headaches dealing with asynchronism in tests, make your code synchronous

    @adambl4 Exploring your idea here...do you mean to somehow simulate synchronous calls in my code/testing and avoid things like callbacks? Maybe using something like Quasar fibers to simulate a synchronous call?

    give us an example of code you want to test

    Are you familiar with vert.x? I'd like to be able to do some sort of "integration" testing of the different handlers.

    @iamsteveholmes If I remember correctly, vert.x has its own testing library right?

    It does. But I'm running into issues. It doesn't integrate nicely with Gradle. And I've found using it with Junit there seems to be a problem with Kotlin and the annotations

    @iamsteveholmes: do you have some sample code that you'd like to test? Maybe we could start from there and see what's viable.

    Hey, so far (in android) powermock/spek worked just fine together. But when using abstract class it breaks because it doesn’t recognise the tests (
    it
    ) within the abstract class anymore.

    I find this very weird. Because I’m not sure where the problem is. The test runs fine without 
    @RunWith(PowerMockRunner::class)
    but since Spek hooks into JUnit. It shouldn’t make any difference for 
    PowerMockRunner
    so this shouldn’t be a problem. (And it works fine without the abstract class)

    @hhariri So take a look at vertx-unit and there unit test examples in particular (I think the integration tests are less key). http://vertx.io/docs/vertx-unit/java/#_asynchronous_testing. There are two issues, first the verticle itself must be started. This can be done in a beforeEach but it is an asynchronous process. Secondly, the vertx client itself is asynchronous so when testing you must wait for the result.

    Essentially, I need to prevent each test from exiting until the result is captured. Notice the "context.async" call for vertx that prevents the tests termination until "async.complete" is called.

    @iamsteveholmes Unfortunately it’s impossible for now. If you can provide some inputs to https://github.com/JetBrains/spek/issues/115, so we can support it in the future.

    @raniejade Any idea how it comes I have problems with abstract class?
  • r

    09/13/2016, 6:23 AM
    is the problem with the idea plugin?

    PowerMock works perfect in a “normal” spek test. But with an abstract class + multiple TCK tests it fails to recognise any tests. Can provide more info (and/or a sample).

    Uhm. I don’t think so. I disabled it because it’s extremely flaky on AS

    can you give a sample spec?

    09/13/2016, 6:24 AM
    Sure, want me to provide a small sample on github?

    yep, that will help 🙂

    Sec, I’m going to add a normal Spek/PowerMock test as well. As example that that works fine
