This screencast demonstrates how to use Spock testing specifications and Groovy for mocking and stubbing behavior in unit tests. It covers creating the mock object syntax, setting expectations, verifying and spying on results, and argument matchers.

I've made a lot of screencasts and blog posts over the years. If you like this, then there are many ways to see the other stuff I've done:

Phew, that's a lot of self-promotion :)

Thanks for taking the time to do this presentation. Quick question: Are you disabling static code analysis in IntelliJ in lieu of some other mechanism (codenarc)? I see that your code isn't causing any rules to fire where mine does for the identical code. This is especially noticeable when using the wildcards. We have recently moved to Spock and I am finding that the IntelliJ static code analyzer complains a lot about things that are hard to ignore globally like compatible types, closures, etc. I like having at least the default set of analysis rules enabled. We do also have codenarc running during our builds to help identify other violations. Is there a way to tune down IntelliJ via module or class name perhaps?
