Ad-Hoc Intermediate Releases
For intermediate stable builds we recommend to use Jitpack (go here for instructions):
- Add https://jitpack.io as a respository
- Use
org.spockframework.spock
asgroupId
and the normalartifact-id
repositories {
// ...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.spockframework.spock:spock-core:spock-1.3'
compile 'org.spockframework.spock:spock-spring:spock-1.3'
}
- For intermediate releases you can also use the commit-hash as version, e.g. compile
com.github.spockframework.spock:spock-core:d91bf785a1

Building
Supported versions
Spock is supported for Java version 7, and 8 (with Groovy 2.5 Java 9+ are supported as well).
Spock is supported for Groovy version 2.4+
The tests are testing spock with a specific versions (variants) of groovy. Default is groovy version 2.4
The groovy 2.4 and 2.5 variant should pass on all supported JDK versions:
./gradlew clean build
(Windows: gradlew clean build
).
All build dependencies, including
the build tool itself, will be downloaded
automatically (unless already present).

Java 9 Module Names
All published jars (beginning with Spock 1.2) will contain Automatic-Module-Name manifest attribute. This allows for Spock to be used in a Java 9 Module Path.
- spock-core --
org.spockframework.core
- spock-spring --
org.spockframework.spring
- spock-tapestry --
org.spockframework.tapestry
- spock-guice --
org.spockframework.guice
- spock-unitils --
org.spockframework.unitils
So module authors can use well known module names for the spock modules, e.g. something like this:
open module foo.bar {
requires org.spockframework.core;
requires org.spockframework.spring;
}
