Spock: Can not use @BeforeClass together with def setupSpec()

[kirkor]

Issue description

See subject

How to reproduce

class SomeSpec extends Specification {

    @BeforeClass
    def setupSpec() {
        dbConnection.initialize()
    }
}

Exception

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.spockframework.util.ReflectionUtil can not access a member of class info.solidsoft.training.spockbasics.cleanup.CleaningUp1Spec with modifiers "private"

Proposition

Maybe more meaningful description? There is no point of using those two technics together.

Thanks for the report :).

This is also reproducible with setup() and @Before. That issue seems to be introduced in Spock 1.0 in which support for JUnit annotations was added.

Just remove the annotations.

The problem here is not very intuitive error message:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.spockframework.util.ReflectionUtil
can not access a member of class info.solidsoft.training.spockbasics.cleanup.CleaningUp1Spec 
with modifiers "private"

which could be enhanced.
