Could not resolve SpecInfo from Sputnik Runner

Question

I am trying to run Arquillian Tests using spock arquillian container

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.spock</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-spock-container</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Beta3</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.3</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.spockframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spock-core</artifactId>
    <version>0.7-groovy-2.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

and I am getting the following error:

Could not resolve SpecInfo from Sputnik Runner

What can cause this problem?

I think I have everything, but it doesn't work with Beta3 version. :/ — Łukasz Rzeszotarski, Jun 21 '15 at 17:30
Gradle resolves this configuration correctly. Maybe this is a cache problem. As in this gist: https://gist.github.com/Opalo/82594ec0d65b6a93e861 — Opal, Jun 21 '15 at 17:36
Do You have a spock dependency defined? `SpecInfo` comes from spock itself. — Opal, Jun 21 '15 at 17:39

Yes I think there is no compatibility between spock framework and arquillian container. When I tried to upgrade spock it doesnt work either. I am getting no such method because api changed. — Łukasz Rzeszotarski, Jun 21 '15 at 17:41
Isn't it the problem you have: https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-testrunner-spock/issues/18 ? — Opal, Jun 21 '15 at 18:42

You can always build a test jar (with dependencies preferrably):

using maven assembly plugin (see maven assembly docs, also How can I make the test jar include dependencies in Maven?),
maven-jar-plugin with test-jar goal (but then you will have to add all dependencies manually, see maven jar plugin docs)
or create a fat jar with any other method you like (shade, onejar-maven-plugin, etc).

After that just run your tests like this: java -cp xxx-test-with-dependencies.jar org.junit.runner.JUnitCore full.pkg.of.testSpec It works because Sputnik is a JUnit test runner, so you need to start from there.

Add any options you like, -Xms, -Danything that is needed (for example Geb needs reporting dir to be set). Add additional classpath elements (-cp) it your jar does not contain all dependencies.
