Given / when / then style on one indentation level

[dave08]

It would be nice to not have to nest given/and/when/and/then/and to such levels, while still keeping test setup and running in the corresponding sections, similar to how Spock does things.

Initial proposition (not the cleanest, but at least an idea):

given("qweqwe") { // 'this' is a GivenContext with a var for fixtures
    fixture[1] = RepoStub()
    fixture[0] = SutClass(fixture[1])
}.and("ssrsrrt") { // 'this' is a GivenContext with a var for fixtures
  ...
}.when("qeqw") { // 'this' is a WhenContext with the fixtures in GivenContext and a result var
    result = fixture[0].methodUnderTest()
}.and("ssrsrrrrst") { // 'this' is a WhenContext with the fixtures in GivenContext and a result var
  ...
}.then("werewr") { // 'this' has all the above 
    result shouldBe fixture[1].stubValue
}.and("ssrsrrrrrst") { // 'this' has all the above
    result shouldNotBe fixture[1].stubValue2
}

It could be easier if the given contains the rest, then the main fixtures can be initialized (but then an and on the given would still be nested... unless the and would contain the rest?):

// Not bad:
given("qweqwe") { // 'this' is a GivenContext with a var for fixtures
    val repoStub = RepoStub()
    val sut = SutClass(repoStub)
    
     when("qeqw") { // 'this' is a WhenContext with the fixtures in GivenContext and a result var
          result = sut.methodUnderTest()
      }.and("ssrsrrrrst") { // 'this' is a WhenContext with the fixtures in GivenContext and a result var
        ...
      }.then("werewr") { // 'this' has all the above 
          result shouldBe repoStub.stubValue
      }.and("ssrsrrrrrst") { // 'this' has all the above
          result shouldNotBe repoStub.stubValue2
      }
}

// ... ?
given("qweqwe") { // 'this' is a GivenContext with a var for fixtures
    fixture[1] = RepoStub()
    fixture[0] = SutClass(fixture[1])
}.and("ssrsrrt") { // 'this' is a GivenContext with a var for fixtures
    // some more setting up...

     when("qeqw") { // 'this' is a WhenContext with the fixtures in GivenContext and a result var
          result = fixture[0].methodUnderTest()
      }.and("ssrsrrrrst") { // 'this' is a WhenContext with the fixtures in GivenContext and a result var
        ...
      }.then("werewr") { // 'this' has all the above 
          result shouldBe fixture[1].stubValue
      }.and("ssrsrrrrrst") { // 'this' has all the above
          result shouldNotBe fixture[1].stubValue2
      }
}
