can't use Grails mocking support in setupSpec

[robfletcher]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 114

The internal fields in UnitSpec are not shared, which prevents certain functions working
from setupSpec.

Still a problem with Grails 2.0?

Not sure if this is still relevant, moving to next milestone.

Still relevant to Grails 2.2.0 and test(":spock:0.7") { exclude "spock-grails-support"
}

Are you saying that you are using UnitSpec together with Grails 2.2? Base classes like
UnitSpec are only meant for use with Grails 1.x.

That's a surprise for me, it's user all over across our app and it's not marked as @Derprecated
How should we mock domain classes in Spock unit-tests then?

The classes aren't deprecated because the plugin is designed to work both for Grails
1.x and 2.x. From the plugin documentation (http://grails.org/plugin/spock):

Unit Testing with Grails 2.0

Grails 2 introduced brand new unit test support based on mixins instead of testing
super classes. These mixins, are fully compatible with Spock! This means that you use
exactly the same approach as outlined in the Grails User Guide on Unit Testing. You
should always extend spock.lang.Specification in your spock-grails unit tests, just
like regular Spock tests.
