The purpose of this project is to help you get started with Spock. The project includes several example specifications and build scripts for Ant, Gradle, and Maven. It also makes it easy to create an Eclipse or IDEA project, allowing you to run the example specs from within your IDE.
All three builds (Ant, Gradle, Maven) will automatically download all required dependencies, compile the project, and finally run the example specs. The Gradle build goes one step further by bootstrapping itself, alleviating the need to have a build tool preinstalled.
- JDK 7 or higher
- Maven use
mvnwwrapper - Gradle use
gradlewwrapper - Ant 1.7 or higher (for Ant build)
Type:
ant clean test
Downloaded files will be stored in the local Maven repository (typically user_home/.m2/repository).
Type:
./gradlew clean test
Downloaded files (including the Gradle distribution itself) will be stored in the Gradle user home directory (typically user_home/.gradle).
Type:
./mvnw clean test
Downloaded files will be stored in the local Maven repository (typically user_home/.m2/repository).
Type:
./gradlew cleanEclipse eclipse
Make sure you have a recent version of the Groovy Eclipse plugin installed. After importing the generated project into a workspace, go to Preferences->Java->Build Path->Classpath Variables and add a variable named GRADLE_CACHE with value user_home/.gradle/cache. (If you have an environment variable GRADLE_USER_HOME set, the correct value is GRADLE_USER_HOME/cache.) You should now be able to build the project, and to run the specs like you would run a JUnit test. See http://wiki.spockframework.org/GettingStarted#Eclipse for more information on how to get started with Spock and Eclipse.
Just open the project directory with Intelli IDEA and it should auto-detect the project settings.
Alternativly Type:
./gradlew cleanIdea idea
Open the generated project in IDEA. You should now be able to build the project, and to run the specs like you would run a JUnit test.
NOTE: you might also want to install https://github.com/mycila/gmavenplus-intellij-plugin so that src/test/groovy is correctly recognized as a test classes root.
Type:
./gradlew collectJars
The Jars will be copied to build/output/lib. The comments in build.gradle explain what they are needed for.
