使用 Spock 框架运行 Android 单元测试

Question

I am using:

• Android Studio 2.1.3
• Gradle 2.14.1 (I tried with 2.14 also)
• OpenJDK version "1.8.0_91"

I want to write some Unit tests with Groovy and Spock for sample Android application.

I have already read about RoboSpock .

When I am trying to run simple test:

package a.b.regex

class TestSum extends spock.lang.Specification {

    def "test adding some numbers"() {
        when:
        def a = 5 + 4

        then:
        a == 9
    }
}

When I try to run this test in Android Studio I have an error:

Process finished with exit code 1
Class not found: "a.b.regex.TestSum"Empty test suite.

Configurations that I used:

1)

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
        classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:gradle-groovy-android-plugin:0.3.6'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'groovyx.grooid.groovy-android'
// ...
dependencies {
    testCompile 'org.robospock:robospock:1.0.0'
}

2)

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
        classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-android-gradle-plugin:1.0.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'groovyx.android'
dependencies {
    testCompile "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.4.1"
    testCompile "org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4"
    testCompile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.4.6:grooid'
}

From the console no tests are run at all. With testing Java applications I have no problem.

Here is the project code where I want to use Spock: GitHub repository

Thankfully to Pieces I found the answer.

You should use the following configuration:

apply plugin: 'groovyx.android'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter() // or mavenCentral, etc.
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
        classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-android-gradle-plugin:1.0.0'
    }
}

testCompile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.4.7:grooid'
testCompile('org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4') {
    exclude group: 'org.codehaus.groovy'
    exclude group: 'junit'
}

Answer 1

1) This should work great other than you are using an outdated version of the groovy android plugin. The current version is 1.0.0. The error you are seeing is that you included your tests in androidTest source folder, when they should be included in the test source folder.

2) You do not want groovy-all, and want to exclude that from the spock transitive dependencies as well.

This would look similar to

dependencies {
    testCompile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.4.7:grooid'
    testCompile('org.spockframework:spock-core:1.0-groovy-2.4') {
      exclude group: 'org.codehaus.groovy'
      exclude group: 'junit'
    }
  }

Same as the problem with #1 you probably have the source under androidTest folder instead of the test folder.

The androidTest folder is for test that will run on the device, and the test folder if for tests that will run on your machines JVM.

Answer 2

If you reached here trying to configure for gradle 6.6 this will help you:

I stepped multiple times into this while trying to configure Spock in android having gradle 6.6, there has been multiple changes in gradle, so they made this plugin deprecated 'groovyx.android' : https://github.com/groovy/groovy-android-gradle-plugin

Deprecated: This plugin has been deprecated in favor of Kotlin which has the full support of JetBrains and Google. The changes that go into each Android Plugin Version make it really hard for this plugin to keep up. As of Gradle 6.0 this plugin does not work.

Found out that gradle have a separate plugin for groovy support: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.codehaus.groovy.android

This is the configuration for gradle 6.6 using groovy DSL for gradle

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = "1.3.72"
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

        classpath "gradle.plugin.org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-android-gradle-plugin:3.0.0"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

And then in the app configuration:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: "org.codehaus.groovy.android"


def groovyVersion = "3.0.5"
def spockVersion = "2.0-M3-groovy-3.0"
dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.3.1'
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13'

    testImplementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:${groovyVersion}")
    testImplementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:${groovyVersion}")
    testImplementation("org.spockframework:spock-core:${spockVersion}")
    testImplementation("org.spockframework:spock-spring:${spockVersion}")


    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0'
