Grails 2.4 and Spock integration tests

[Igor Artamonov]

I've tried to upgraded my application to Grails 2.4.3 and now my spock tests are failing with:

| Failure:  xxx.SomeIntegrationSpec
|  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/grails/commons/ApplicationHolder
 at grails.plugin.spock.IntegrationSpec.$spock_initializeSharedFields(IntegrationSpec.groovy)

Grails 2.4 removed ApplicationHolder class (http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/upgradingFrom23.html ) but as I see from Spock Grails sources (https://github.com/spockframework/spock-grails/blob/master/spock-grails-support/src/main/groovy/grails/plugin/spock/IntegrationSpec.groovy ) it still uses such class. 

Do I need to add extra configuration, change something in my tests, or Spock is incompatible with Grails 2.4? 

[Igor Artamonov]

Peter Niederwieser just told me that Grails 2.3+ should support Spock tests out of box. But if I remove test ":spock:0.7" and "org.spockframework:spock-grails-support:0.7-groovy-2.0" from dependencies if fails with:

| Error Error executing script TestApp: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: grails.plugin.spock.test.GrailsSpecTestType (Use --stacktrace to see the full trace)

So how to use Spock tests for Grails 2.4.3? Docs only says that "The Grails Spock Plugin is one plugin that adds new test types to Grails." without providing any details.

[Hans Bogaards]

When upgrading a grails application, I always create an empty project with the new grails version. And then compare the config files of my application with those of the empty project.

That should help finding which plugins and dependencies you need to use Spock tests in the new version.

Oh, I found the problem, test "org.spockframework:spock-grails-support:0.7-groovy-2.0" dependency is still required. But plugin dependency test ":spock:0.7" should be removed

[Igor Artamonov]

Oh, not so easy, just returned to first state. 

org.spockframework:spock-grails-support:0.7-groovy-2.0 is incompatible with Grails 2.4. So I can't use it as a dependency. But without it i'm getting ClassNotFoundException:grails.plugin.spock.test.GrailsSpecTestType

I don't understand what to use then.

PS sorry, spent 2 days on trying to upgrade grails, it's driving me crazy :(

[Igor Artamonov]

It was because of 3rd party in-place plugin, 2 levels down. That plugin has test ':spock:0.6' { export = false } but seems that Grails simply ignores export = false for inplace plugins, so I got this weirdness.

[Eduardo Solanas]

Same here, to be honest they should provide a better way to do that it is very tidious

Igor, Thanks for sharing all your steps! ;-)
