TestNG cannot find JUnit method names from Spock

The Spock framework creates JUnit tests. These should be able to be run via TestNG. However, in the org.testng.junit.JUnit4TestMethod class there is this code:

    private static Method getMethod(Description desc) {
        Class<?> c = desc.getTestClass();
        String method = desc.getMethodName();
        try {
            return c.getMethod(method);
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            Utils.log("JUnit4TestMethod", 2,
                    "Method '" + method + "' not found in class '" + c.getName() + "': " + t.getMessage());
            return null;
        }
    }

Since the passed in description has the text of the Spock test (something like: “This is my spock test”) and Spock mangles the test names, the simple “c.getMethod(method)” call fails. If this is fixed, then TestNG should be able to run Spock (JUnit) tests as well.

@rumatoest Instead of complaining you could spend your free time to debug/bugfix this. I’m sick of people thinking about usable tools/frameworks as always being baked by a huge company. TestNG is, as stated by @juherr, a spare-time project.

As I’m already wanted to get in touch with Spock (always eager to learn new stuff), I might take a look into this the next time.

Conceptually necessity of adding junit into my current project will lead me to use only junit in next projects.
