A Journeyman's Journal

Had to setup a new Groovy project using Maven today with Spock as its testing framework. Ran into a few glitch; thought to share it here with a sample pom.xml as a day-log.

   4.0.0

   sample-group
   sample
   General Purpose Groovy Project
   jar
   1.0-SNAPSHOT

   
       0.4-groovy-1.7
   

   
       
           
               org.codehaus.gmaven
               gmaven-plugin
               1.3
               
                   
                       
                           1.7
                       
                       
                           generateStubs
                           compile
                           generateTestStubs
                           testCompile
                       
                   
               
           

           
               org.spockframework
               spock-maven
               ${spock.version}
               
                   
                       
                           find-specs
                       
                   
               
           
       
   

   
       
           org.codehaus.gmaven.runtime
           gmaven-runtime-1.7
           1.3
       

       
           org.spockframework
           spock-core
           ${spock.version}
           test
       
   

Few things I ran into:

1. Maven 3 currently does not work with the Spock plugin
2. Spock plugin version 0.5-groovy-1.7 does not seem to pick up unit spec test correctly, so I had to fall back to 0.4 to make it work
3. In order to mix both Java and Groovy code you need to enable the stub generate execution phase in GMaven plugin
