The Enterprise-ready testing and specification framework.

Configuring the log framework to use a testable logger (like Björn said) is surely the cleanest way with regard to not having to use any dirty tricks or extend the application code just for tests, but of course then the tests are more like integration tests with regard to the log framework not being "mocked away".

hi guys, when I used Spock with SpringBoot to do Unit Test for Service layer. I got this error you need to use @ContextConfiguration or @SpringBootTest(classes=...) with your test

But when I saw some example online, they didn't do any special settings

It would be helpful to share an MCVE, at least a full Spock specification (test class).

We have been advised of a copyright issue with the Spock name, to avoid future problems in this regard we have decided to rebrand. Henceforth, the Spock Framework will be renamed to GWT Framework (Given-When-Then).

I'm taking a class on Reactive Spring, and I've been able to use Spock no problem so far, but now there's a test using StepVerifier.withVirtualTime() and it passes no matter what. Here's the whole test:

def "With virtual time"() {
    given:
    VirtualTimeScheduler.getOrSet()
    def longFlux = Flux.interval(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
        .take(3)
        .log()

    expect:
    StepVerifier.withVirtualTime({ longFlux.log() })
        .expectSubscription()
        .thenAwait(Duration.ofSeconds(3))
        .expectNext(0L, 1L, 2L)
        .verifyComplete()
}

I also don't see the logs from the flux. Any ideas?

IIRC you need to create the flux inside the withVirtualTime method, see https://www.baeldung.com/reactive-streams-step-verifier-test-publisher#3-testing-time-based-publishers as an example. Also you don't need VirtualTimeScheduler.getOrSet()AFAIK.

@spartanhooah

That's true, don't need VirtualTimeScheduler.getOrSet(), thanks.

Is it possible to put Spock conditions in an external helper class and still get Spock to raise ConditionNotSatisfiedException? Any asserts i have in external helper methods just get treated like regular Groovy asserts.

class Testy extends Specification {

    Helper helper = new Helper()

    void "testy"() {

        expect:
           verify()
           helper.verify()

    }


    void verify() {  
        assert 1 == 2
    }
}

class Helper {

    void verify() {
        assert 1 == 3
    }
}

Leonard Brünings

@leonard84

No it is not possible, Spock only transforms classes derived from Specification. You might have a pseudo-Specification without any actual tests and only helper methods though.

@kwangomango

Thanks Leonard, so you are saying to have my Helper class extend Specification too? I see that works.

Leonard Brünings

@leonard84

yes

kwangomango

@kwangomango

:thumbsup:

Leonard Brünings

@leonard84

You can't have external mock interactions though

kwangomango

@kwangomango

That's fine, i'm mostly using Spock for integration tests on apis.

If i make the external helper a closure, rather than a method, then it works just like a local method on Specification. Why is that?

class ClosureTest extends Specification {

    Helper helper = new Helper()

    void "testy"() {

        expect:
            verify.call()
    }

}

class Helper {

    Closure verify= { assert 1 == 2 }

}

What http client normally blends well with Spock website functional testing? I've looked at a few (httpbuilder, httpbuilder-ng) and I like their syntax (httpbuilder is nice) bit those projects are either abandoned or dormant. I'd like to use something actively support. thx

Leonard Brünings

@leonard84

you could use https://rest-assured.io/ although it has its own when-then methods

Vahid Pazirandeh

@vahidpaz

Yes I noticed it does. It looks to be an all-inclusive library, even allowing groovy syntax in strings (I guess that it eval()'s on). I'll play around and see if there's a happy middle-ground

Vahid Pazirandeh

@vahidpaz

@leonard84 - thank you for all the time/effort you put in for Spock. It's a real blessing for people around the world.

Leonard Brünings

@leonard84

thanks

@vahidpaz I heard and read very good things about Geb and it is nicely integrated with Spock too.

Leonard Brünings

@leonard84

Geb is for browser testing, I assumed the question was geared towards REST API testing

Björn Kautler

@Vampire

Which part of "website functional testing" makes you think so?

"i'm mostly using Spock for integration tests on apis" was a different user one message earlier

Leonard Brünings

@leonard84

Well, since the listed frameworks where http clients and not selenium/webdriver, I assumed testing should be done on the http/rest layer.

If you want browser tests, then sure Geb is the best choice for Spock.

Vahid Pazirandeh

@vahidpaz

@Vampire thank you for the info. Yes I was referring to rest api testing but when the time comes to sprinkle some web app UI testing (some call it user acceptance tests?) I will take a look at Geb. thx again

How do I set defaultExecutionMode=SAME_THREAD?

For spock 2.0

Alexander Kriegisch

@kriegaex

Some info for you:

Copy from the linked test:

      runner {
        parallel {
          enabled true
          defaultSpecificationExecutionMode ExecutionMode.SAME_THREAD
          defaultExecutionMode ExecutionMode.SAME_THREAD
        }
      }
