Groovy plugin incompatible with android plugin about robospock HOT 6 CLOSED

I actually create an independent Gradle project and add dependencies for base project.

I will leave this issue opened as I want to investigate https://github.com/JakeWharton/gradle-android-test-plugin
from @JakeWharton and two other plugins available.
I'll try to make it as lean with NBS (which is a great tool) as possible.

Have you been using RoboSpock or Robolectric before and move to NBS? Or new in unit testing for Android?

That make sense. I actually did something similar in the past as soon as I switched to Gradle. I'm used to have both Spock and Robolectric in my previous projects, but the new build tools and the android plugin are a whole mess for tests, so i gave up.

The android-test plugin won't help you in that sense, as the android plugin is explicitly set up to fail fast if it encounters the Java plugin. I may want to reconsider moving again to a separate project in the future because it's easier to collect info from test coverage tools like jacoco, but I'm not quite convinced. I'm stalling at the moment.

I've been recently working on an extended version of the android-test plugin that works with an external project. This supports junit, robolectric and spock right off the bat (I'm still tinkering with scala support). You might want to check it out and try Robospock in that configuration https://github.com/novoda/gradle-android-test-plugin

I had a look yesterday at your gradle-example-project and created a sample app based on the basic gradle project that is in the examples of the NBS. You can check it out here and tell me what you think. But I'll give your android test plugin a go, I tried the one from Square and didn't manage to make it work with RoboSpock.

Great @stefanodacchille I hope to get your PR soon and merge it. That will be the base for all NBS sample projects for RoboSpock

There is plugin
apply plugin: 'groovyx.grooid.groovy-android'

in
https://github.com/Polidea/RoboSpock/blob/master/sample/build.gradle

which allows to run groovy tests from android project
