Ad-Hoc Intermediate Releases
For intermediate stable builds we recommend to use Jitpack (go here for instructions):
- Add https://jitpack.io as a repository
- Use
org.spockframework.spockasgroupIdand the normalartifact-id
repositories {
// ...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
dependencies {
testImplementation 'org.spockframework.spock:spock-core:spock-2.1-M2'
testImplementation 'org.spockframework.spock:spock-spring:spock-2.1-M2'
}
- For intermediate releases you can also use the commit-hash as version, e.g. compile
com.github.spockframework.spock:spock-core:d91bf785a1
Modules
- spock-core -- Core framework. This is the only mandatory module.
- spock-specs -- Specifications for spock-core, implemented using Spock. Not required for using Spock.
- spock-spring -- Integration with the Spring TestContext Framework.
- spock-tapestry -- Integration with the Tapestry 5 IoC container.
- spock-guice -- Integration with Guice 2/3.

Building
Supported versions
Spock is supported for Java version 8+.
Spock is supported for Groovy versions 2.5 and 3.0.
The tests are testing Spock with the specific versions (variants) of Groovy and Java. Default Groovy version is 2.5.
The Groovy 2.5 and 3.0 variant should pass on all supported JDK versions:
./gradlew clean build
(Windows: gradlew clean build).
All build dependencies, including
the build tool itself, will be downloaded automatically (unless already present).

Java 9 Module Names
All published jars (beginning with Spock 1.2) will contain Automatic-Module-Name manifest attribute. This allows for Spock to be used in a Java 9 Module Path.
- spock-core --
org.spockframework.core - spock-spring --
org.spockframework.spring - spock-tapestry --
org.spockframework.tapestry - spock-guice --
org.spockframework.guice - spock-unitils --
org.spockframework.unitils
So module authors can use well known module names for the spock modules, e.g. something like this:
open module foo.bar {
requires org.spockframework.core;
requires org.spockframework.spring;
}
