I like it! Would you like to try contributing it (I'll work on it otherwise)?

[saw303]

I'd love to! But currently I wont find a spare time to actively develop that feature 😔. But I could contribute on early stage testing it on real world projects.

Please make sure that you use Spock 1.2-groovy-2.5 and at least Groovy 2.5.3. Anything else wont work on a Java 11 project

[paulbakker]

It looks like Groovy is still broken if you try using it on the module-path :(

With

testCompile("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.3")
testCompile("org.spockframework:spock-core:1.2-groovy-2.5")

I'm getting

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.ResolutionException: Modules org.codehaus.groovy.jmx and org.codehaus.groovy.xml export package groovy.util to module org.codehaus.groovy.console

Any tips?

Found the related Groovy issue as well: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8647

[saw303]

Update regarding Java 11 compatibility. Groovy 2.5.4 has been released that fixes annoying stuff when working on Java 11.

But https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8647 is still open.

Hi, the issue is now fixed and closed. :)
@saw303, @paulbakker are there plans to introduce support for Spock in the near future?

@anilewek That's cool, thanks! Please note, however, that Groovy 3 (in which this issue is fixed), is still in beta: https://groovy.apache.org/download.html

Also note that Spock does not yet support Groovy 3 (although the latest Spock snapshots seem to work well with Groovy 3).

What we can do in the meantime is adding support for Groovy 3.

Support added in 1.7.0
