Hi. I'm new to Spek. Trying to get my first tests to run. I'm having trouble with the "given, on, it" style. My tests don't run. If I leave out the "on" then the test does run. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

[adambl4]

code please

[whitney]

@RunWith(JUnitPlatform::class)
class ProjectResourceSpec : Spek({
given("a project resource") {
on("field reference") {
it("should get the value from the delegate") {
val name = "PROJECT"
val project = Project(name = name)
val resource = ProjectResource(project)
assert.that(resource.name, equalTo(name))
}
}
}
})

No tests run

[whitney]

But it runs if with this:
@RunWith(JUnitPlatform::class)
class ProjectResourceSpec : Spek({
given("a project resource") {
it("should get the value from the delegate") {
val name = "PROJECT"
val project = Project(name = name)
val resource = ProjectResource(project)
assert.that(resource.name, equalTo(name))
}
}
})

[adambl4]

are you running using IDEA plugin or console?

[whitney]

Both

[whitney]

IDEA and Maven

[adambl4]

the first one works on my side

[adambl4]

could you post Spek and JUnit dependencies?

[whitney]

<!-- Spek -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.spek</groupId>
<artifactId>spek-api</artifactId>
<version>1.1.3</version>
<!--<scope>test</scope>-->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.spek</groupId>
<artifactId>spek-junit-platform-engine</artifactId>
<version>1.1.3</version>
</dependency>

[whitney]

<!-- JUnit -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-platform-runner</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-RC3</version>
</dependency>

[adambl4]

yeah, I can confirm the first one doesn’t work with Spek 1.1.3 and JUnit RC3

[adambl4]

but works with 1.1.2 and M4

@raniejade

[whitney]

Thanks @adambl4. I changed my build to use 1.1.3 and M4. Now the test runs in Maven, but it is marked as "not started" when I run using the Idea plugin.

[whitney]

Process finished with exit code 255

[raniejade]

can you try w/ Spek 1.1.4 and JUnit Platform 1.0.0-RC2? Also if possible don't use @RunWith(...) JUnit 4 is so problematic.

[whitney]

That combo does seem to work. I hadn't tried 1.1.4 because its not in Maven Central (any reason for that?). Once I got it from Bintray with JUnit RC2, it worked.

[hhariri]

It should have been on Maven. I’m publishing it now
