gildor · Answer

Yes but Idea 2018 1 on which AS 3 2 is based has a lot of tooling problems with Kotlin DSL not even related to Gradle 5 0 but in general Kotlin DSL is supported UPD Gradle 5 is not supported in 3 2

If you are using Gradle for Android you need to move to version 3 4 or higher of both the Android Gradle Plugin and Android Studio <https docs gradle org 5 0 userguide upgrading version 4 html>

Depends on your use case What do you actually want to use

dave08 · Answer

A multiproject android app with a combination of spek 1 x and junit 4 12 unit tests they haven t been working together yet but at least with kotlin dsl I might get docs and hints to see where my configs are wrong

dave08 · Answer

If I put includeEngine spek junit in configs nothing works I remove both only spek works thinking face

gildor · Answer

not sure about Spek I always though that Spek uses Junit 5 API to run own tests

dave08 · Answer

Any known problems with 3 3 in my case

gildor · Answer

I don t know any particular ones

dave08 · Answer

I think it does I used the install instructions from its docs I really want to migrate out of it but with this problem I m forced to keep on writing new spek tests

dave08 · Answer

Is there a way to create another test module in android one for spek and the other for junit

gildor · Answer

Yes why not Just create a new module only with tests and add module that should be tested as dependency but you cannot test `internal` declarations in this case

gildor · Answer

Also maybe you can just configure test runner for spek and junit4 to use diffferent source paths or something like that

dave08 · Answer

I tried putting the RunWith Junit annotation on the junit test class still no go where how could I configure the test runner like that Any docs on this I searched alot and couldn t find anything but then I m no gradle expert

gildor · Answer

You can configure runner using Gradle Test tasks see docs have no particular advices in this case maybe better to ask in < C0BE6KSRW|spek>
