@svenjacobs I usually just use lazy vals for things like that

Yeah, also interested about that. In my case I want to start IoC container and stop it once tests are done

Hi, could someone explain why

beforeGroup

is executed only once even if test has more then one group on one level? And if so, how do you work with this?

Has anyone encountered any issues with Spek2 and kotlin multiplatform project? Spek2 can't seem to find any of my tests when I use the

src > commonMain, commonTest, jvmMain, jvmTest

format (I'm only trying to run the tests with jvmTest source set)

Here's the full stacktrace. Using version 2.0.1, when I run the

jvmTest

task in a Kotlin MP project

Is it possible to run commonTest without jvm involved at all in a multiplatform test-setup of spek currently?

The one in intelliJ is awesome for a basic HTML report. But I was wondering if there is more people suggest.

@dewildte you can use jacoco

Hello, I am trying out Spek 2 with Truth. I have a passing test despite a failing assertion. I tried running the tests from Gradle, it still passes. Can someone help?

CanaryTest.kt

package dev.ragunath.spek2

import com.google.common.truth.Truth.assertThat
import org.spekframework.spek2.Spek
import org.spekframework.spek2.style.specification.describe

class CanaryTest : Spek({
  describe("A test environment") {
    it("is ready to run tests") {
      assertThat("a").isEqualTo("b") // <- Failing assertion.
    }
  }
})

Also, here is my

build.gradle

.

plugins {
  id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.3.31'
}

group 'dev.ragunath'
version '0.1.0-SNAPSHOT'

  mavenCentral()
  jcenter()
}

Hi, since Spek 2.0.3 test scope builders come with a default timeout of 10 seconds. Is it possible to globally change the default timeout value w/o having to apply a custom timeout to every test?

Also I noticed that since upgrading to Spek 2.0.3 the amount of test results drastically reduced in Jenkins from 1000 to a few hundreds. After upgrading to 2.0.4 even less tests are reported. Did something change how Spek reports JUnit test results?

@raniejade I might update to spek2 and require the

include

from 1.x, can you give me a pointer how I should implement it in 2.x and would you be interested in a pull request?

What is the status of MPP? is it possible to write a spek test in a common module and run it for a jvm module?

as far as I can see

action

is no longer available in 2.x what is now the idiomatic way of writing dependent tests? Following an example how I used it in spek 1.x:

action("calling peek for the first time") {
    val obj = object : Any() {}
    val itr = listOf(obj).iterator().toPeekingIterator()
    val result = itr.peek()
    it("returns the element") {
        assert(result).isSameAs(obj)
    }
    it("calling it a second time still returns the same element") {
        val result2 = itr.peek()
        assert(result2).isSameAs(obj)
    }
    it("calling hasNext returns true") {
        assert(itr.hasNext()).toBe(true)
    }
    it("calling next returns the same element") {
        assert(itr.next()).isSameAs(obj)
    }
    it("calling then hasNext returns false") {
        assert(itr.hasNext()).toBe(false)
    }
}

changelog for

2.0.5

release is missing

Idea 2019.1.3 and spek 2.0.5: When I try to run single spek test from IDE - it always fails with "Test framework quit unexpectedly". How to fix it or should I open new issue for it?

Is there any way with Spek to add categories for tests? Specifically looking for for something to allow having a gradle task that runs long running tests and let the default gradle test task only execute fast unit tests.

So I managed to get spek to run with multiplatform + android target which is awesome! But, the error message which it gives when something fails:

org.host.class.someSpek > Settings randomId = 1234567 FAILED
    org.junit.ComparisonFailure at spektest.kt:21

Is a bit lack luster, I'd want it to type out the expected value. Is there any way to do that?

Any plans to release a spek plugin for intellij 2019.2? The current does not seem to be compatible

In a framework like Spek, are all mocks (e.g. with mockk) initialized all at once, on start up? I would have hoped that mocks were scoped to their corresponding

describe

or

it

blocks. As it is, even if I run a single

it

block test in Intellij, all the mocks across all blocks are being initialized. Is this a consequence of putting the entire test suite into the constructor of my test class (which seems bonkers to me)?

What assertion framework are you guys using with spek?

Also, can i use this to write tests for my common module?

Because beforeGroup is executed before the entire FeatureSet

Anyone know how I can debug the

Test framework quit unexpectedly

error I am getting when trying to run a test? Can't seem to find any error statements anywhere. Using v2.0.8 with an Android module, junit5 plugin is applied, have all the dependencies added correctly. 🤔

I am using spek 2.0.9 to test OpenGL (lwjgl) based code. I run in to the problem that tests are executed on another thread (that doesn't have an OpenGL context associated). How do I tell Spek to run tests on the main thread?

I am using Spek2 which spawns an embedded server (running on a different thread). I want this server to be up and running while executing all tests but shut down after finishing all tests. Normally (in junit 5 or testng), i would do something like this when i create the server.

fun getOrCreateServer() {
    ...
    Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(Thread(Runnable {
        server.shutdown();
    }))
    return server
}

Then in my tests, I would just call this method to get the server instance and do stuff with it. Then after all tests have executed, this would be called to shutdown the server In Spek2, this does not get called How do I what I want to do in Spek2? 🙂

I found an article on medium about setting up Spek2 and thought I’d give it another look. The steps all worked, but you have to run the tests by right clicking on the folder. Is there no runner? that would make it possible to run tests from within the source?

I see in the older Spek (1) docs that Spek does not support Android integration tests. Is this the case for Spek2 as well?

Hey guys, it's been probably asked before and I'm sure I've done this before, but I can't really find it anymore :/ how do I write tests where I need to have a @Autowired dependency? Thanks
