Spock spring module results in NoSuchMethodError when running the test

Question

I am using the following spock dependency

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.spockframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spock-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-groovy-2.4</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
 </dependency>

I wrote this test

class JsonIncludeResolverTest extends Specification {
    JsonIncludeResolver uut;
    def "test"(){
       expect:
       true
    }
}

the test succeeds

Now I want to use Spring to inject JsonIncludeResolverwithin the specification. JsonIncludeResolver is annotated with @Component and is injected successfully when running the application. Both tests and component are placed in the same maven module.

I read about spring-spock here: How to inject spring beans into spock test

Therefore I added this dependency version

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.spockframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spock-spring</artifactId>
      <version>1.1-groovy-2.4</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

after adding this dependency running the s

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.spockframework.util.ReflectionUtil.isAnnotationPresentRecursive(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/Class;)Z

at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.prepareStreamsAndStart(JUnitStarter.java:242)
at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.main(JUnitStarter.java:70)

I then tried to use the proper annotations

@ContextConfiguration
class JsonIncludeResolverTest extends Specification {
    @Autowired
    JsonIncludeResolver uut;
    def "test"(){
       expect:
       uut != null
    }
}

Still the result is the above exception.

The groovy test is under /src/test/groovy which is a working as you could see in the first successful run of the test.

would you recommend me to use older versions of `spring-spock` ? — xetra11, Jun 06 '18 at 06:22
I recommend to use compatible Versions of spring and spock-spring — Jens, Jun 06 '18 at 06:29
look into maven repo for the spock-Version and you will see the compatibility to spring https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.spockframework/spock-spring/1.1-groovy-2.4 — Jens, Jun 06 '18 at 06:53

Try upgrading Spock to 1.1 as follows:

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.spockframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spock-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.1-groovy-2.4</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
 </dependency>

org.spockframework.util.ReflectionUtil.isAnnotationPresentRecursive() has been introduced since version 1.1 by this commit.
