not a Spek complaint but doesn’t it seem insane that build is still a single file that has to have a bunch of configs for each thing that is needed?? maybe time for a refactor like the one Tomcat did: instead of one file, let each tool install some little config stub in a directory then the tool loads them all…

thats kind of how I tend to configure my gradle builds and the main build.gradle file just has a bunch of apply from xxx entries.

Nice! will look at that, thanks for the tip..

@codeslubber PR’s welcome 🙂. Jokes aside, I notice that many people are new to JVM/Gradle and I wanted simplicity to begin with. The minimum that works.

Frankly getting Spek going in a gradle project is something I have done like 10x now. Zero complaints.

regard comments like these as middle-aged ‘I can’t believe we are still cutting and pasting build files’ type nattering… 🙂

So @hhariri have you done any brainstorming? I have some ideas on rethinking build too.. should we start a new project?
