every other testing feature pales in comparison

@revbingo Spek is built against Kotlin 1.0.6 which reflect library are not compatible with 1.1 use this to force the newest version

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            if (details.requested.group == 'org.jetbrains.kotlin') {
                details.useVersion rootProject.kotlinVersion
            }
        }
    }
}

@revbingo @adambl4 you could use this as well https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin.

@pniederw that's one of the features i loved about spock, but it's currently impossible with kotlin as you need to have access to the AST at runtime. There is a discussion regarding macros (https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/the-case-for-macro-system-in-kotlin/869/3) but I'm not sure if when or will it ever happen.

@adambl4 @raniejade thanks for the suggestions, but Gradle isn’t the problem, the gradle build works fine

it’s running the specs in Intellij that is problematic

@revbingo you're using the plugin right (No

@RunWith(...)

)?

Anyway, I think know the problem. When running the spec, the plugin includes the bundled version of spek (including it's dependencies) in the classpath.

@raniejade: yes, using the plugin. I'm guessing it's now using kotlin-1.1-beta-17, but spek-1.1.0-beta2, which are incompatible

So presumably I have to wait for the plugin to get updated

Yes, unfortunately. Hopefully I can get something out mid next week.

Ok, thanks, appreciate it! At least I can still run tests via gradle

@raniejade any instructions to run the Spek plugin? I would like to contribute with the environment variables!

I cant set the classpath for module, it only shows [no module]

In the run configuration

@tgirard12 has left the channel

unable to search through the history here, is there any update on spring support for spek? e.g. autowired stuff

@snowe https://github.com/spekframework/spek-spring-extension, it's a POC. Can't move until https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-15143

Kotlin 1.1 Beta 2 has finally brought support of Jack toolchain. @raniejade what things need to be done to support Android Instrumentation tests?

@adambl4 android instrumentation tests has its own runner right?

yes http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/5.0.0_r1/android/support/test/runner/AndroidJUnitRunner.java

First we need to know how that runner works.

@randolph.kahle has left the channel

Hi, I am having a bit of trouble setting up my Spek tests

so i've followed the instructions on the documentation page

but when I run the unit tests

I get the following exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/platform/engine/discovery/ClasspathSelector

probably a noob mistake... but has anyone come across this?

yes!

if only I could remember why.... 😕 I think you need to make sure you’re using the right version of the junit platform, I’m using

1.0.0-M3
