Spock Testing for Kotlin Project

This project is created to explain how spock specification kind unit testing could be done in a kotlin project.

Technology that we used

1. Gradle
2. Groovy for Testing
3. Kotlin

How it Works

Clone the project and have a look to the TestableSpec. You will see a test specification class which is written in Groovy. If you open the terminal and type command gradle test -i this will run all test function in the specification. If you run gradle -Dtest.single=Testable test -i this will run only the TestableSpec. You can also create a test task in your build.gradle to manage your test individually, this could be helpful if you want to distinguish unit and integration specs.

Why Spock

• Easy and takes less time to create a test. (Comparison of JUnit and some mocking framework).
• It comes mocking, spying, and stubbing out of the box.
• BDD(Behavior driven development) like, that makes your test even more clear.
• Perfectly works with Groovy syntax. Use closures, straightforward maps, iterate with various inputs combination on where block.

Note: You can still write jUnit test under test.kotlin folder. It is possible to test your units with both framework.
