Best practice integrating Spock with Jenkins, Sonar [closed]

Question

We decided to give Spock a try as a testing framework for our java based EE application. Currently we have a CI infrastructure deployed based on jenkins + maven + jacoco.

Q: the question is what's the best way to integrated spock with all this? Any recommendations, best practices?

Answer 1

Given your tool chain, the only thing that's different compared to Java/JUnit is to make Groovy (test) compilation work in Maven (see the spock-example project). Other than that, you shouldn't have to do anything special, as Spock is just a custom JUnit runner that's activated automatically. You'll get the same reports etc. You can even have Spock and JUnit tests in the same source directory and run them together.

Answer 2

Actually you may have trouble integrating with Sonar. The Sonar Surefire sensor will successfully find your surefire reports; however, the sensor attempts to link to the test source for publishing to Sonar. When it does this, it assumes a file extension of .java. So you will see output in your build that looks like this:

[INFO] [13:00:34.734] Sensor SurefireSensor...
[INFO] [13:00:34.735] parsing /home/amcdowel/accurev/projectFoo/target/surefire-reports
[WARN] [13:00:34.747] Resource not found: com.abc.monitor.app.model.MonitorTest

The code coverage generated by your Spock tests will successfully be reported in your Sonar dashboard, but the number of unit tests and success/error counts will not be included.
