I'm getting this Gradle plugin error when setting up Spek for an Android Library project:

Error:The 'java' plugin has been applied, but it is not compatible with the Android plugins.

What am I doing wrong? 😛

Would someone please point me at what I might be doing wrong here? I'm using Spek 1.1.5. I've got the following test code:

class ProfileHandlerSpec: Spek({
    given("a profile handler") {
        val ph = ProfileHandler(userProfileRedis)
        val uuid = UUID.randomUUID().toString()
        val cTime = Date.from(Instant.now()).time
        on("new profile creation") {
            val profile = ph.createNewUserProfile(UserProfile(uuid, "Hoylu", "User", "<mailto:testuser@hoylu.com|testuser@hoylu.com>"))

            it("should create a profile with the proper uuid, creationTime, and default lastLoginTime") {
                assertEquals(uuid, profile.uuid)
                assertTrue(profile.creationTime >= cTime)
                assertEquals(0L, profile.lastLoginInfo.lastLoginTime)
            }

            on("fetching a profile") {
                val gotProfile = ph.getUserProfile(profile.uuid)
                it("should return the profile for the uuid") {
                    assertEquals(profile, gotProfile)
                }
            }
        }
    }
})

Which fails to execute. IntelliJ complains that there are no runnable methods:

I've got

spek

configured in my build.gradle:

junitPlatform {
    filters {
        engines {
            include 'spek'
        }
    }
}

Maybe because you nested two`on`s?

Nope, same behavior with nested ons or with just the top one

Though it does bring up the question of I could refer to

profile

in subsequent

on

blocks w/o making profile a

var

inside the

given

Don’t nest `on`s it’s not supported. Also you’re missing

@RunWith(JUnitPlatfom::class.java)

.

You also need

org.junit.platform:junit-platform-runner

on your classpath since you’re using JUnit4.

Actually, I'd rather use JUnit5...

I removed the @RunWith because it was forcing me into JUnit4

Install the spek plugin https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8564-spek

@raniejade just did that. Seems to bring with it other, older versions of JUnit5 (1.0.0-M2 instead of 1.0.1) -- hopefully that won't cause issues...

Just have

org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher

in your classpath and the plugin will use that.

Put back the RunWith, and now get

@raniejade I assume

junit-platform-launcher

is a

testRuntime

dependency for gradle?

yes

And that's needed in addition to the

junit-platform-runner

testCompile

dependency?

yep, you only need that if you want to use JUnit 4

I've got older tests running in JUnit4, so I have it.

I'm trying to migrate the test suite to Spek and JUnit5

are you using AS 3.0?

AS 3.0?

android studio 3.0

Nope, IntelliJ 2017.2.5

ahh, so it’s not an android project

No. kotlin/ktor based service

are you still getting the last error?

Yes

The class is there, in the test folder.

if you use JUnit 5 you don’t need

@RunWith(...)

.
