Totally off topic, but I once worked on a Java project where some of the tests were written in groovy and they were a huge PITA:
1) The refactoring tools never found, nor refactored the groovy code 2) The compilation errors introduced by 1) never showed up in my IDE 3) Having to relate to tests I didn’t know about in a language I don’t care about when I thought I was done was not great for my general mood at the time I used to think that sneaking in another language by using it in the test-code was a stellar idea. Now I’m quite certain it isn’t. Erik. -- i farta > 11. jun. 2018 kl. 21:55 skrev Rick Mangi <[email protected]>: > > Next time you have to write unit tests for java, give groovy a try.
