Sometimes, we find ourselves working on a new feature in our code and we want to write a specification for it without yet really implementing the feature. To indicate we know the specification will fail while we are implementing the feature, we can add the @PendingFeature annotation to our specification method. With this annotation, Spock will still execute the test, but it will set the status to ignored if the test fails. But if the test passes, the status is set to failed. So when we have finished the feature, we need to remove the annotation — and Spock will kindly remind us to do so this way.

In the following example specification, we use the @PendingFeature annotation:
