Inject dependencies in Grails Spock Specification test

Question

I need to get the dependencies injected in my domain objects in my tests. This tests are placed in the test/integration directory and extends from `spock.lang.Specification`. How can I achieve this? Note: I've seen this post How to inject spring beans into spock test, but it is not related with grails. Edit: The dependency I want to get injected is `springSecurityService` in my `SecUser` subclass called `Player`. The method that is failing is the `encodePassword()`, which is called in the `beforeInsert()`. I can mock this `encodePassword()` method in some tests, but when I want to test my controllers method `save()`, I can't mock the `Player` that is being created because it all happens inside the controllers method. After changing to extend `IntegrationSpec`, this is my test code: ``` package intertigre.test.domain import intertigre.domain.Fecha; import intertigre.test.util.DomainFactoryTestService import grails.plugin.spock.IntegrationSpec import grails.test.mixin.TestFor @TestFor(F…

Try declaring the springSecurityService into the test, as you would do in a controller. Grails is supposed to do all the job for you :)

For an integration test you do something like this:

```
package intertigre.test.domain
import intertigre.domain.Fecha;
import intertigre.test.util.DomainFactoryTestService
import grails.plugin.spock.IntegrationSpec

class DomainFactoryTestServiceSpec extends IntegrationSpec{

def domainFactoryTestService // you dont need to create a new instance, it's injected by spring

def 'test'(){
     given:
         // ...
     when:
         // ...
     then:
         // ....
 }
```

If you need to test a specific domain object (as your Fecha class), you probably need a unit test, something like this:

```
package intertigre.test.domain
import intertigre.domain.Fecha
import intertigre.test.util.DomainFactoryTestService
import grails.test.mixin.TestFor
import grails.test.mixin.Mock
import spock.lang.Specification

@TestFor(Fecha)
@Mock([OtherObject1, OtherObject2])
class FechaSpec extends Specification {

def domainFactoryTestService // same thing here, if you need the service

def 'test'() {
     given:
         def fecha = new Fecha()
     and:
         def oo1 = new OtherObject1()
     when:
         // ...
     then:
         // ....
 }
```

You can use unit test to test services as well, it depends on what are you going to test (a class -the service- or a "situation" -the way the service is used-).

Ps. Of course, this code here hasn't been tested and can contain typos. :) But I hope you get my point about how to test.
