Create and jump to Spock unit test for a Java class in Idea IDE

Question

Is there a way to create and jump to Spock unit test for an application written in Java in Idea IDE ( it's working fine for a Groovy app )? The project is Maven based if it matters.

Reason: I'd like to use Spock framework to test my Java app.

Answer 1

CTRL + SHIFT + T is the default shortcut for unit test creation / navigation (at least on Windows). It can be checked/changed from File -> Settings -> Keymap then in the tree select Navigation -> Test (you can also filter the key map to find it easier)

This opens a dedicated popup which allow you to either create a new unit test, or jump to existing ones (if any).

This goes for groovy...

... or java

Answer 2

Figured out by myself the steps to make it work:

1. Add the following plugins to the POM file:

    <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.18.1</version> <configuration> <includes> <include>**/*Test.java</include> <include>**/*Spec.java</include> </includes> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.gmavenplus</groupId> <artifactId>gmavenplus-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.5</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>addTestSources</goal> <goal>testCompile</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> 

2. Create src/test/groovy directory

3. Install GMavenPlus IntelliJ Plugin
4. If Idea still doesn't see src/test/groovy as a source directory you could delete all the Idea project files from you hard-drive and import your Maven project again

After that CTRL + SHIFT + T will offer you to create new tests either in src/test/java (should be chosen for JUnit tests) or in src/test/groovy (should be chosen for Spock tests).

PS command line mvn clean test also works correctly running both JUnit and Spock.
