Welcome to the Geb world and thanks for the POM. Would you please also
attach your MCVE (http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve)? I am talking
about
-- Geb specification,
-- Geb and Spock configuration files, if any,
-- application code under test.

Thank you very much and kind regards

I see. thanks.

 

When copying everything you attached into a new Maven project (test files and GebConfig got to src/test/groovy) and upgrading the Chromedriver to 2.45 for Chrome 71 or 72, everything works beautifully on my workstation. The 2.10 driver version is definitely too old for a current Chrome, even though I saw a different error from yours.

 

 

Good luck!

Thanks Alex,

1. What version of chrome driver do you recommend for version 72,windows 10, Intellij Community 2017, 2.5, JDK 1.8.0_152  and can i leave my selenium version as 3.3.1?

2. How does ExecutableFinder find the correct version of chrome (do i need to save chromedriver jar somewhere as on my machine)?

3. Other than Java JDK, Maven, Intellij is there any other configuration or installation required for geb to work which i might be missing?

1. I already told you and even sent a screenshot. I also said I changed nothing else in the POM.
2. You just need a regular local Chrome installation. And no, the Maven plugin takes care of downloading and finding the driver.
3. I also happen to use IntelliJ, but ran your test via Maven, so an IDE is not strictly needed. But running the test directly from IDEA should work out of the box after (auto-)importing the Maven project and building it once.

Maybe you should try first and then ask. I assume you have not tried yet, as your questions seem to imply.
