java-testing-with-spock's Issues

Help

I have two issues. I am trying to buy your book on Manning's site and it won't add to my cart.

I am hoping it will help with a problem I am having. I have a test like this:

import spock.lang.Specification

class EmployeeTest extends Specification {
def "a valid employee should be valid"() {
given:
def Employee employee = new Employee()
def User mockUser = Mock(User)

    when:
    BusinessServiceResult bsResult = employee.prepareForPersistance("aTransactionId", "aTransactionName", mockUser);

    then:
    bsResult != null
    bsResult.isSuccessful()
}

}

I get

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.pbi.datanet.model.businessobject.bo.Employee.prepareForPersistance() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String, com.pbi.datanet.model.businessobject.bo.User$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$20359d67) values: [aTransactionId, aTransactionName, Mock for type 'User' named 'mockUser']
Possible solutions: prepareForPersistence(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, com.pbi.datanet.model.businessobject.bo.User)

but I have seen in your code here that you pass mocks as real objects. Sorry to leave this here it's the only way I could find to contact you.

add mockito dependency

mockito dependency is missing in build.gradle

update to spock 1.0-groovy-2.4

Add Gradle Builds

Hi,
I have taken an interest in Spock and have looked to the Manning book for learning about it. I have forked your repository and have started working on providing Gradle build scripts. Once completed, I would like to make a pull request to have the Gradle build scripts merged into your repo. Is this something you would find of value?

Thanks,

Mike

Tests Fail in GroovyFilesSpec of Chapter 2

If you run the tests from within the IntelliJ IDE the tests fail, but if you run them from the command line using: mvn test the tests pass.
