GebConfig.groovy file seems to be ignored

[Lee]

I've recently come on board and inherited a project that uses Geb.  I realize what may be contributing to my issue is that everything is not organized in anything close to a standard structure.  Example of what it probably should be but is not:  src/test, src/test/resources, etc

I'm hoping someone can help with a way to work around my issue until we can reorganize things.

Here's the issue:

We have a Gradle task that executes our Geb tests, but it looks like how it was previously implemented did not rely on the GebConfig.groovy file for configurations.  It just sets 'geb.driver' within the task and works.

I'd like to utilize the GebConfig.groovy file so I can leverage the 'environments' functionality.

When I execute a Gradle task (example below) that tries to use my desired environment configuration (with chromedriver) I've set up in the GebConfig file, the tests are just executed in Firefox which I understand is the default driver.

Is there any way I can modify the task to point directly to the GebConfig file?

Here's an example of a Gradle task that I want to use that should use geb.env, but this doesn't work:

task "gebTestNoConfig"(type: Test, dependsOn: dogClasses) {
    classpath = sourceSets.dog.compileClasspath + sourceSets.dog.output


    systemProperty 'geb.env', 'chromeTest'


    // always run tests
    outputs.upToDateWhen { false }


    include '**/automated/selenium/tests/oroduct/login/LoginTest*'
    exclude excludedTests
    scanForTestClasses = true


    reports {
        html.destination = file("${reporting.baseDir}/de/testresults")
    }
}

NOTE:

I've also modified the 'classpath' variable above as follows, but that didn't resolve my issue:

sourceSets.cat.compileClasspath + sourceSets.cat.output + files("${projectDir}\\WEB-INF\\dogTest\\com\\automated\\config\\GebConfig.groovy")

Current example of a Gradle task where setting geb.driver works:

task "gebTestNoConfig"(type: Test, dependsOn: dogClasses) {
    classpath = sourceSets.dog.compileClasspath + sourceSets.dog.output


    systemProperty 'geb.driver', driver


    // always run tests
    outputs.upToDateWhen { false }


    include '**/automated/selenium/tests/oroduct/login/LoginTest*'
    exclude excludedTests
    scanForTestClasses = true


    reports {
        html.destination = file("${reporting.baseDir}/de/testresults")
    }
}

Thanks,

Lee

Lee,

What's the full path to your GebConfig.groovy file? It should be located in the root of one of resource directories or root of one of the source directories for the "dog" source set to be picked up automatically by Geb. There are also other options (either configuring your build or configuring where config is loaded from when instantiating geb.Browser instances) which I can tell you about in more detail but I need to know first where your GebConfig.groovy is located.

Hey Marcin,

Your comments helped point me in a couple of other areas to look and debug.

It ended up that there was another function overwriting some things.  Once I commented that out, it looks like things are working as expected.

I appreciate your help with this,

Lee

Awesome! I love it when you get to help people by asking them some questions which somethow makes them solve their problem by themselves. :D

Good luck with the project, looks like there is plenty for you to discover.
