Quarkus support

[fernando88to]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Recently a groovy support extension for quarkus was created:

https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-groovy

However, we still don't have support from spock to quarkus

Describe the solution you'd like

I suggest creating a quarkus extension to support spock.

This way, spock can be used on a very popular platform that has grown, giving even more visibility to the spock project.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Can you please elaborate on what such an extension would do, what kind of integration it would provide, in which way, ...?

@fernando88to I'm not a Quarkus user and the same as Vampire I'm not sure what would be the responsibility of that "support" (running integration tests?), but have you checked https://github.com/roggenbrot/quarkus-spock ? The project has just 3 commits, but maybe the integration is straightforward and no more were needed :).

For the reference some discussions in the Quarkus issue tracker: quarkusio/quarkus#6506 and quarkusio/quarkus#30221

I tried to do a project with quarkus + spock at the address

https://github.com/fernando88to/quarkuswithspock

However, it hasn't worked yet, it seems that the problem is in the integration tests, the tests run but the Quarkus server doesn't.

I thought of an extension that would avoid these problems.

I had seen the project https://github.com/roggenbrot/quarkus-spock, I created an issue there too.

I'll ask about the issues in Quarkus itself, as at the time of these discussions there was no groovy extension for Quarkus.

I'm hoping to see Spock together with Quarkus as it is an exceptional tool

I'm sorry but we can't support Quarkus in spock directly, due to our limited development bandwidth. That isn't a statement on the feasibility of implementing such a support though.

Of course it does not.
You annotate the test class with @QuarkusTest and expect it to work, how should it?
@QuarkusTest is a Jupiter annotation, so it works with Jupiter, not with Spock.

Just like they provide @QuarkusTest as Jupiter extension at https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/blob/main/test-framework/junit5/src/main/java/io/quarkus/test/junit/QuarkusTest.java, they could as well provide a Spock extension that just works with Spock.

You can also try to get it working using https://github.com/xvik/spock-junit5 which tries to make Jupiter extensions usable in Spock, but a native extension is most probably better of course if they (or someone else) would provide one. I highly doubt such an extension will be developed within the Spock project. The Spock project cannot provide extensions for each and every thing out there, but that's exactly why everyone can create and provide extensions any time. :-)

Actually as there is already a Jupiter extension most often also providing a Spock extension is not too much work any some code can even be reused by both, so maybe you have better chances to convince Quarkus to maintain a Spock extension alongside.
