best place in code to call geb Configuration's setDefaultWaitTimeout()

[Master Automator]

Hello folks,

Hope you are staying safe and doing ok!

In the Gradle command that runs our Geb specs, we pass in the command line a default timeout for that set of specs.

Currently, we use this parsed cmd line timeout arg in the setupSpec() method:

•   browser.getConfig().setDefaultWaitTimeout(<<parsedTimeout>>)

Is there a way to not have to do this in every spec but do it in a single place if we are ok with the same default timeout for the set of specs?

Thanks,

Kiran

Have you tried GebConfig.groovy?

That would be my suggestion as well, to put it in your Geb config script.

Thanks Marcin & Alexander. Just to clarify ...

We already have a default value in Geb config:

waiting {     timeout = 30     ... }

We can run "gradlew ... specs" and specify a different timeout override value, say 42 instead of Geb config's default 30 ... like this:

gradlew  -DgebNewTimeout=42 --tests someSpec ...

At the moment, the way this is implmeneted, our Configuration Reader class parses this cmd line timeout value of 42 and then sets the new default timeout value to 42 using : 

browser.getConfig().setDefaultWaitTimeout(<<parsedTimeout>>)

This is done in setupSpec() since the above code line needs the browser object to get the config.

What are the other ways to get hold of the Geb Config object? Are there any better ways to do the above?

Thanks,

Kiran

Have you tried evaluating the property from inside GebConfig, overriding the default value if the property is present?

waiting {
timeout = System.getProperty("gebNewTimeout")?.toInteger() ?: 30

}
