@codeslubber did you try to use class instead of object?

Hey guys, so if you're using

@RunWith(JUnitPlatform::class)

the spek plugin won't handle that particular class as the bundled junit plugin takes over.

there was an update on spek plugin, right?

@charbgr yep https://github.com/raniejade/spek-idea-plugin/releases/tag/v0.3.4

@vkuznetsov yes

I just installed the Spek plugin so for sure have the latest version..

guess I cannot use on.. not sure how upset I am about that.. I do like the nesting of tests so I would like to have the ability to use that if possible...

@raniejade well, with android and junit4 and without plugin my tests were stucking, with plugin they are going smooth but is it possible to run tests without rebuilding project each time? When I run spek without rebuilding android project - it runs previous version of spek.

I am super obsessed with unit tests running in seconds, one of the main things that finally turned me off on Java and eclipse was the horrible maven plugins that would rebuild on a single test tweak.. hope we are past that in 2017.. so far Spek is very fast when I have used it, but have not had it in a codebase of hundreds of thousands of LOC..

@codeslubber android project? Maybe something is messed up with my config, because it rebuilds project each run ~1 minute

It's a known limitation of spek when working with android projects

@raniejade you mean full rebuild of project to run spek test?

Got an open ticket for the android guys https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=233597 to hopefully fix the issue

No it should not require a full project rebuild

ugh that sucks ...

yeah I am in android right now too

yeah, creating idea plugins really suck so I try to reuse stuff as much as possible. Hoping the android team would work on my issue if not i'll look if I can submit a patch.

thanks to @hhariri and @raniejade I got my Spek tests in my android project to run properly.. Cast my vote (watching it rebuild on each rerun is painful..)

made a new project in IntelliJ today (not Android Studio) and wrote a simple test first, it compiles but IJ says it failed to run the test

the only difference I see from the Android project is that this one is using 1.1.1 for the Kotlin version

@User uploaded a file:

well I thought maybe the exclusion from teh documentation would fix this

as the IDE is using 1.1.1

but that just sprang another error about reflection not being included

dropping version back to 1.1.0 does not work either

nm got it to work.. 🙂 strangely with 1.1.1 as the version and no exclusions.. the test was continuing to run because I put a console statement of print in instead of println (what I get for going back and forth between Swift and Kotlin…)

@jchildress has left the channel

why is there no 1.0.0-beta4 of

spek-junit-platform-engine

? aren’t all artifacts going to advance in parallel?
