A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

am I doing something wrong or is it normal that 100 lines long spec (1x `describe` and 5x `it` ) takes awfully long for syntax highlighting to kick in? anywhere between 10-20s
is it even related to spek or is it kotlin compiler issue?
I've tried searching this channel for solutions but haven't found anything

Syntax highlighting is done by IJ (specifically the kotlin plugin) - not spek. Are you able to replicate the issue when not using spek?

kind of, in files that are complicated for compiler

If you can send me a reproducer, I can help investigate it.

when I've rewritten the same spec to junit it works much faster

I guess it's an issue of one huge scope (120 lines) in spek vs many smaller function scopes in junit

I've noticed the same thing, might be worth filing a bug with JetBrains
