Hey all! Spek

2.0.10

is out, the release just adds support for AS 3.6 and IJ 2020.1 (and a couple more fixes) More details here: https://github.com/spekframework/spek/releases/tag/2.0.10.

I'll be starting working on

2.1.0

next, which means

2.0.10

will probably be the last patch release for the

2.0

line.

2.1.0

will be focused on adding truly multiplatform support.

2.x

branch already has support for running tests for KN (added by @charleskorn) - but it still lacks IDE support.

Additionally

2.1.0

will include https://github.com/spekframework/spek/pull/835 - which integrates coroutines to spek (making it easier to run suspended functions).

Anyone is facing an issue, where instant error highlighting stops working while typing Spek tests? I have to run the test first to get the compile error under the Build Output panel before Android Studio starts highlighting the error.

Hi everyone, does anyone of you know how to generate feature files from Spek tests?

@raniejade I'm wondering, any ETA for this PR to be released? It would be nice to have suspend lambdas, rather than keep doing

runBlocking { assertion }

Hi, does anyone have a working example of a test using Mockk’s

mockkStatic

? I can’t make it work with Spek. In JUnit

mockkStatic

works fine.

did something change with the intellij plugin to cause it to not pick up spek tests anymore? The only way I can run them is by running a whole folder at once, which kinda sucks when you're trying to debug something.

I’m currently migrating from spek1 to spek2:

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.spekframework.spek2</groupId>
      <artifactId>spek-dsl-jvm</artifactId>
      <version>${spek.version}</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
      <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
    <!-- <https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.spekframework.spek2/spek-runner-junit5> -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.spekframework.spek2</groupId>
      <artifactId>spek-runner-junit5</artifactId>
      <version>${spek.version}</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

This results in none of my tests being run, as they aren’t found. What’s going on?

Hello there, Since spek is now multiplatform, when will it run js tests?

I noticed this issue related to the IJ version and spec version compatibility on looking through past issues. Still seeing it however after keeping both the IJ and spek version to 2.0.11 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.spekframework.spek2.runtime.execution.DiscoveryRequest.<init>(Lorg/spekframework/spek2/runtime/discovery/DiscoveryContext;Ljava/util/List;)V at org.spekframework.ide.Spek2ConsoleLauncher.run(console.kt:20) at org.spekframework.ide.ConsoleKt$main$1.invoke(console.kt:45) at org.spekframework.ide.ConsoleKt$main$1.invoke(console.kt) at shadow.com.xenomachina.argparser.SystemExitExceptionKt.mainBody(SystemExitException.kt:74) at shadow.com.xenomachina.argparser.SystemExitExceptionKt.mainBody$default(SystemExitException.kt:72) at org.spekframework.ide.ConsoleKt.main(console.kt:43)

Hello, I would like to switch to IDEA 2020.2 EAP, but I need Spek plugin to run tests. Could somebody tell me, please, how to build the plugin locally with support for IDEA 2020.2?

Is here anybody using Atrium with Spek on Android Studio?

I am facing the issue that one of dependencies (atrium-core-robstoll-lib) is not on the classpath and running test fails with exception. But when I run the test with gradle - it works fine.

I have AS 4.0 and Spek Framework plugin 2.0.11-IJ2019.3

Maybe this information would be useful for the Spek developers. @robstoll was able to reproduce the error: “Seems like spek is a using the wrong classpath and is not resolving all transitive runtimeOnly dependencies (maybe this is a bug of Android Studio)”

am I doing something wrong or is it normal that 100 lines long spec (1x

describe

and 5x

it

) takes awfully long for syntax highlighting to kick in? anywhere between 10-20s is it even related to spek or is it kotlin compiler issue? I've tried searching this channel for solutions but haven't found anything

Is this still the standard way to run suspending functions in Spek test? (Using

runBlocking

)

Then("event store should be empty") {
        runBlocking {
          // findAll is a suspending function
          eventStore.findAll().shouldBeRight { it.shouldBeEmpty() }
        }
      }

Its not the biggest deal, although it does make some tests a bit more verbose. I see some talk about this in the channel history but wasn’t sure if this was still the cleanest way to do it

What would be a better practice with Spek?

object MyTestCase : Spek({})

vs

class MyTestCase : Spek({})

Hi, any plans to release a new plugin version supporting IDEA 2020.3?

Hey folks, what are the differences between Kotest and Spek? Cross-posted in #kotest

When will spek be available from maven central? It seems like 2.0.10, 2.0.11 and 2.012 have not been published to maven central

ah... found the corresponding isssue on github: https://github.com/spekframework/spek/issues/949

Hey folks! Due to my interests shifting and a burning drive to do something else - I've decided to step down as maintainer and start looking for new ones: https://github.com/spekframework/spek/issues/959 - if you know anyone that is interested please let me know. I'll be sticking for a while until a new maintainer (or more) is found.

(multiplatform question) Can I run spek on

commonTest

? or should I create tests only on android/jvm test folders?

When is the Spek plugin for intellij 2021.2 released?

@gammax looks like you are the moderator of this channel. Do you also coordinate development?

Does anyone have experience combining spek with koin? They seem incompatible.

Hey folks, is there any way to group tests and run those groups separately from the command line? Like Junit's

@Tag("integration")

annotation and then run

./gradlew test -DexcludeTags="integration"

to run only all other tests.

Is the Spek project alive? Or does it have some replacement?
