spek v2.0.8 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-10-06 // over 4 years ago

  • 🔀 Artifacts are now synced to maven central

    👀 See #764 for more details.

    Timeouts

    🚀 Test timeouts were added in 2.0.3 but it was hard to configure and there was no way to disable it - causing issues when using a debugger. This release includes several improvements to this feature.

    Setting timeouts globally

    🔧 (#769) On the JVM the global timeout can be configured via the system property SPEK_TIMEOUT

    Disable timeouts

    ⏱ (#792) A value of 0 will disable the timeout.

    🛠 Fixtures

    🆕 New fixtures

    (#670) beforeEachGroup and afterEachGroup fixtures are now available. They are invoked for every group including the group where they are declared (similar to how CachingMode.EACH_GROUP works).

    🗄 Deprecation

    💅 (#787) The fixture aliases before, after, beforeEach and afterEach in the specification style are now deprecated.

    Scope value (aka memoized) access are now stricter

    👀 (#789) Scope values will now throw an exception when accessed in the wrong context. A good example is accessing a scope value with CachingMode.TEST in a beforeGroup fixture. See ticket for the motivation and more details.

    ✅ LifecycleListener now reports test failures.

    👀 See #761 for the motivation and more details.

    🛠 Other fixes/changes

    • (#737) Validating a return value examples show use of lateinit on primitives which throws a compiler error
    • ✅ (#750) Allow running tests on source root
    • 📦 (#763) Run all specs in a package of a common module
