We already publish Javadoc, but not yet Groovydoc. Figure this out.

There's now http://groovydoc.spockframework.org/latest, and the plan is to publish Groovydoc
for each release.

This is still open after 4 years. Why, is it so difficult and time-consuming? For example, http://spockframework.org/spock/javadoc/1.3/spock/util/concurrent/package-tree.html lists classes

• AsyncConditions
• BlockingVariable<T>
• PollingConditions

but not class BlockingVariables because the latter is implemented in Groovy. This is really bad and distorts the picture of features available in Spock, especially given the fact that the Spock manual does not describe these fours classes, except for a release note example of PollingConditions which also mentions the other classes, but does not point to any documentation.

This gets worse by the fact that neither the Spock manual nor the website point to the Javadoc/Groovydoc, so if you don't happen to google the Javadoc (finding an old version) and then manually change the version number in the opened URL, there is no chance to find it at all, even though the Javadoc/Groovydoc for those four classes contains comprehensive sample code. It is a waste of resources to document something and then not make he documentation accessible. I work around that by knowing the class names and then opening them from my IDE, reading the Javadoc from there - very ugly.

Update: The URLs
