exception from junit..fail() gets eaten

[Barry Kaplan]

In my setupSpeck() junit's fail is invoked(). The result is the test
terminates but no message or exception is displayed (in Idea at
least).

Should I be using something else to fail fast?

Hi Barry,

I suggest to use "assert false" instead of JUnit's fail(). You can
also add a message:
assert false, "this should not have happened"

That said, I suppose you still won't see an exception. Can you please
file an issue (http://issues.spockframework.org)?

Cheers,
Peter
