# Testing with Spock Sample

version 6.4

- Groovy DSL

- Kotlin DSL

| You can open this sample inside an IDE using the IntelliJ native importer or Eclipse Buildship.

This sample shows how to test Java projects using the Spock Framework with Gradle.

For applications:

application/build.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'application'
        id 'groovy-base'
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation project(':utilities')
        testImplementation 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.7'
        testImplementation 'org.spockframework:spock-core:1.3-groovy-2.5'
    }

    application {
        mainClass = 'org.gradle.sample.app.Main'
    }

application/build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        application
        `groovy-base`
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation(project(":utilities"))
        testImplementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.7")
        testImplementation("org.spockframework:spock-core:1.3-groovy-2.5")
    }

    application {
        mainClass.set("org.gradle.sample.app.Main")
    }

For libraries:

list/build.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'java-library'
        id 'groovy-base'
    }

    dependencies {
        testImplementation 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.7'
        testImplementation 'org.spockframework:spock-core:1.3-groovy-2.5'
    }

list/build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        `java-library`
        `groovy-base`
    }

    dependencies {
        testImplementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.7")
        testImplementation("org.spockframework:spock-core:1.3-groovy-2.5")
    }

Running the tests:

    $ ./gradlew test
