Limitations
Spockk is in active development, and it falls short of writing a specification directly in Spock for Groovy.
Spockk today
- given/when/then/expect/and/cleanup block labels, with natural-language descriptions
- Explicit and implicit conditions, with Spock-style failure diagrams
- Data tables and data pipes
- Fixture methods (setup/cleanup/setupSpec/cleanupSpec)
- Interaction-based testing (
1 * mock.method(), stubbed responses) - Runs on Spock's own JUnit Platform engine, with full IDE/report integration
Still Groovy-only
- Spock extensions (
@IgnoreIf,@Requires, ...) are only experimentally supported - More than 10 years of features waiting to be ported to Kotlin 😁
These and other improvements are on the roadmap. Stay tuned for future releases!
