Spock: test name and outcome in setup() cleanup() methods

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to make the following data available in a Spock test's lifecycle methods:

• test name in the setup() method
• test name and test outcome in the cleanup() method

The reason I am asking is that I would like send these metadata to a data sink without the need to touch each and every test.

Thanks! Martin

Answer 1

Try this.specificationContext.iterationInfo.name in setup(). Not sure if it works. In general specificationContext is the place where I'd be looking for such data.

Answer 2

Update from Opal's answer:

It is now (Spock 1.1) specificationContext.currentIteration.name

For the record, you could also use

@Rule
TestName testName = new org.junit.rules.TestName()
...
println "name: $testName.methodName"

... but there seems no point.

For the other question, getting the outcome: I couldn't find a way of getting this from Spock's SpecificationContext.

I took a quick look at org.junit.rules.TestWatcher ... but with Spock this seemed unable to detect a failed test.
