Running tests with kotlin spek and kluent

Question

Trying to get spek working with kotlin but running into some problems. I have the simplest test:

object TestSpec : Spek({
    describe("A greeter") {
            it("should fail") {
                "hello" shouldEqual "somethingelse"
            }
    }
})

And it doesn't work. I have tried the following variations:

object TestSpec : Spek({
    describe("A greeter") {
            it("should fail") {
                "hello" shouldEqual "somethingelse"
            }
    }
})

This test is green, it clearly should not be.

object TestSpec : Spek({
    describe("A greeter") {
        on("something") {
            it("should fail") {
                "hello" shouldEqual "hellosdf"
            }
        }
    }
})

This test doesn't even run. When i execute it i just get

Test framework quit unexpectedly

Same for the following variation:

object TestSpec : Spek({
    given("A greeter") {
        on("something") {
            it("should fail") {
                "hello" shouldEqual "hellosdf"
            }
        }
    } 
})

My maven dependencies:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
        <artifactId>kotlin-stdlib-jre8</artifactId>
        <version>${kotlin.version}</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jetbrains.spek</groupId>
        <artifactId>spek-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.2</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jetbrains.spek</groupId>
        <artifactId>spek-junit-platform-engine</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.2</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.amshove.kluent</groupId>
        <artifactId>kluent</artifactId>
        <version>1.24</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit-platform-runner</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0-M5</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
        <version>5.0.0-M5</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

If i run the test now i just get Test framework quit unexpectedly without any other information.

Also put the code on github, might be easier if somebody wants to check link

Please run gradle with the options ./gradlew build --info --stacktrace to it and post the output. — guenhter

It seems that you have a missing dependency (http://spekframework.org/docs/latest/#setting-up-legacy). Check that you have those:

org.jetbrains.spek:spek-api:1.1.2
org.jetbrains.spek:spek-junit-platform-engine:1.1.2
org.junit.platform:junit-platform-runner:1.0.0-M4

// this one too if you use IntelliJ
testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.0.0-M4'
