do you have org.junit.platform:junit-platform-engine in your classpath?

[snowe]

I just copied the instructions from here https://spekframework.org/setup-jvm/

[snowe]

so no...

[snowe]

I thought maybe it wasn't required anymore.

[raniejade]

yeah, it should not be required. Doing this:

test {
    useJUnitPlatform {
        includeEngines 'spek2'
    }
}

should add it to the test classpath.

[snowe]

oh i have that

[snowe]

but it still doesn't work.

thats my buildscript section for spec, except for dependencies:

// SPEK

repositories {
    maven(url = "<https://dl.bintray.com/spekframework/spek-dev>")
}

val cleanTest by tasks.getting(Delete::class)

tasks.withType<Test> {
    useJUnitPlatform {
        includeEngines("spek2")
    }
    dependsOn(cleanTest)
}

hopefully it helps figure out the diff

[Nikky]

dependencies are:

testImplementation(group = "org.spekframework.spek2", name = "spek-dsl-jvm", version = "2.0.0-rc.1")
testImplementation(group = "org.spekframework.spek2", name = "spek-runner-junit5", version = "2.0.0-rc.1")
testImplementation(group = "org.junit.platform", name = "junit-platform-engine", version = "1.3.0-RC1")

[snowe]

ok, so you still need the engine dependency. that fixed it. thank you.

[raniejade]

indeed, sorry about that. I had this in my mind https://github.com/spekframework/spek/blob/2.x/samples/jvm/build.gradle, and vaugely remembered not having to specify the junit-platform deps. Aparently the sample didn't exclude it 🤦.

docs needs to be updated.
