How to get name of currently running test in spock?

Question

In JUnit 3, I could get the name of the currently running test like this:

public class MyTest extends TestCase {
    public void testSomething() {
        as         


        

Answer 1

One solution is to leverage JUnit's TestName rule:

import org.junit.Rule
import org.junit.rules.TestName

class MySpec extends Specification {
    @Rule TestName name = new TestName()

    def "some test"() {
        expect: name.methodName == "some test"
    }
}

This requires JUnit 4.7 or higher.
