Using if-else statement inside Groovy - spock test

Currently when I use if else in a Groovy - spock when:, only the if is executed and the else is not. Is there any other way of implementing if-else inside spock tests? I tried switch case and encountered the same. 

if (value == 'x' || 'y' || 'z') {
    //execute below info
} else if (value == 'a') {
    //execute below info
}

Due to the groovy truth 'y' is treated as boolean true, that's why else is not executed.

Probably you tried to evaluate this:

if (value == 'x' || value == 'y' || value == 'y') {
    //execute below info
} else if (value == 'z'){
    //execute below info
}

But also you can try to modify the if-expression to:

if (value in ['x', 'y', 'y']) {...}

I am not sure if I have to make this a comment or an answer.

Your code under the else block is not executing because value == 'x' || 'y' || 'y' is always true because the character literal 'y' is always evaluated to true.

Non-empty Strings, GStrings and CharSequences are coerced to true.

Try this: if (value == 'x' || value == 'y' )
