exception in action results in green test

[robstoll]

The error can be reproduced by the following code:

describe("error sceenario"){
    on("exception thrown in action block"){
        throw IllegalArgumentException("oh no...")
        test("on should be red not green"){}
    }
}

The on should not be green (I am using intellij) but red and an exception should be shown.

Hm... I realised that it also happens if one of the test fails. Am I using on wrong?
And why does the whole setup screw up if an exception is thrown in a group scope? I have several describe in my test and if one of them contain an unexpected exception all of them cannot be executed. Following the code to reproduce the error:

describe("throws an exception") {
    throw IllegalArgumentException("oh no...")
}
 describe("should be executed nonetheless") {
    it("should be green") {}
}

@robstoll It's a limitation of the plugin, unfortunately (raniejade/spek-idea-plugin#29). If you're using gradle everything should work as expected. I'm looking into ways to fixing this, but it might take a while.

[robstoll]

@raniejade you are right, it works fine in gradle, at least my first concern (described in the issue). However, my second concern (described in my comment) still holds. If an unexpected exception occurs in a group scope then none of the tests are executed. Is this intentional?

[raniejade]

@robstoll No, it's not. Re-opening the ticket, it should still continue and just ignore the failing group.

Awesome, when is your next release planned?
