Trying to use spock-reports with grails: Failed to load extension class about spock-reports HOT 7 CLOSED

just noticed that I got one html report for one of two specs. But it is not regenerated when I re-run my current tests. The report shows a Success rate of 100%...

let me run an additional test: it seems that reports are generated fine when test are ok, but no report is generated at all for a spec if an assertion fails or the test throws an exception...

At least in my case...

I have never tested spock-reports with Grails. Would you be able to setup a very simple project that I can use to test this, and hopefully fix it?

I'll try to come up with an example over the weekend...

from spock-reports.

here is the first project:
https://github.com/rdmueller/grails-petclinic/tree/spock-reports
I've created two dummy specs which even have currently nothing to do with the project, but they demonstrate the problem. One produces a report, the other one does not.

Command to start the test:
grailsw dev test-app functional:

I found out what's going on.

With spock-reports version 1.2, there was a bug which made spock-reports throw an Exception (no current iteration) if your test failed with an Exception in the setup method. This was fixed in 1.2.1.

However, the individual specs reports are not being created when using spock-reports 1.2.2 because you're using Groovy 2.0.8, and spock-reports requires at least version 2.1.0 (due to this problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16692196/groovy-javadocs-is-there-a-since-version-label-for-xmlutil).

If you can, please upgrade your Groovy version and this problem will go away.

If you cannot, I can remove the problematic method call and publish a patched version to work with older versions of Groovy, at the cost of not properly displaying some text in the reports (notably, things like < and > will not be escaped, potentially breaking the html file.

I decided to just implement the escapeXml method myself based on the Groovy implementation, so that Groovy 2.1 is not required anymore... I tested with Groovy 2.0.8 but spock-reports should probably work with any Groovy 2.+ version now.

Thanx for the quick help! It works now!
