IntelliJ Idea

This project works out of the box in IntelliJ Idea 12.1.4 (129.549). Default label look need some changes to look better.

Go to Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> Groovy, create new Schema (Save as) and change Label (last attribute)

• Font type: Bold
• Foreground: 0000FF

After this Spock Tests (Spec) looks in IntelliJ Idea like this:

PS. Idea can autoformat Spock data tables :)
