Version 0.5 (released 2010-12-11)

• Assignments in expect- and then-blocks are no longer allowed and will result in a compile error (with a helpful error message). Here is an example that works in 0.4, but no longer works in 0.5:

expect:
def person = repo.findPerson("fred")
person.isHappy()

and:
person = repo.findPerson("barney") // no longer allowed
person.isHappy()

To make this work in 0.5, either move the assignment to some other place (maybe it makes more sense to have it in a when-block anyway), or introduce another variable like so:

...

and:
def barney = repo.findPerson("barney")
barney.isHappy()

Version 0.4 (released 2010-05-25)

• Grails plugin base classes have been renamed from XYZSpecification to XYZSpec (e.g. UnitSpecification -> UnitSpec). The old classes have been deprecated and will be removed in Spock 0.5.

Version 0.3 (released 2009-11-19)

• @Speck has been deprecated. The new way to turn a class into a specification is to extend class spock.lang.Specification (or a subclass thereof).
• setupSpeck()/cleanupSpeck() have been deprecated and renamed to setupSpec()/cleanupSpec().
• spock.lang.Predef has been deprecated. You should no longer directly use this class. Instead, extend from spock.lang.Specification, which provides all the same methods.
• The Maven plugin's find-specks goal has been deprecated and renamed to find-specs.
• The Ant selector SpeckClassFileSelector has been renamed to SpecClassFileSelector.

All deprecated elements will be removed in Spock 0.4.
