My test is in src/test/kotlin

object Test: Spek({
    describe("a calculator") {

        it("should return the result of adding the first number to the second number") {
            "test" shouldEqual "test"
        }

        it("should return the result of subtracting the second number from the first number") {
        }
    }
})

can you try using junit platform 1.0.1?

[poohbar]

Why is it not in the documentation? All the documentation says about Maven is that we should add spek-api...

[raniejade]

Actually can you paste the whole pom.xml? Based on the error there might be some class compatibility issues.

[poohbar]

So what dependencies do I need? spek-api is definitely not enough which is all the guide mentions.

[poohbar]

Then there is a confusing hodge podge of junit4 vs junit??? variants in Gradle from which none work. There is not a single working set up on that whole page and no sample maven project using spek.

[raniejade]

You have everything, I can't help you if you don't paste the build script.

[poohbar]

I will paste it when I get home but there is nothing special in it. Just the kotlin maven plugin.

[poohbar]

this works together..

<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.12</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

notice there is no <type>pom</type>

[poohbar]

I am clearly using junit 4 but I didnt need any @RunWith anotation so that part is also wrong in the docs.

[raniejade]

Yeah, something is wrong with the docs. I remember the maven section being several lines long.

[poohbar]

it would be nice if there was a spek artifact that pulls all the other 3 dependencies as children..

[raniejade]

For now please take a look at https://github.com/spekframework/spek-maven-sample, it's using an old version but it's a good start.
