How to set baseUrl at runtime?

[dean.delponte]

I'm utilizing the example project at https://github.com/geb/geb-example-cucumber-jvm to run Cucumber with Geb.

The baseUrl changes depending on if I'm testing code that's in development, staging or production.

What's the recommended way for changing the baseUrl at runtime?

Can a parameter simply be passed in via the command line?

Thanks!

Is it typical that people do not change the URL at runtime?  I'm thinking it may useful when executing these tests on Jenkins.

At least in my experience, I change the URL all the time (when navigating between pages). But I've never needed to change the base URL, since everything I'm testing is usually under a the same base URL...

You can just use environments in the GebConfig.groovy to set a different baseUrl. Then you just make Jenkins/CI call Maven/Groovy with -Dgeb.env parameter.

Thanks Micha.  I've tried that approach and was unable to get it to work.

Ultimately, what I did is update env.groovy to check for an external config file where the baseUrl value is available.

I recall trying something similar previously but the baseUrl was required to be set

From Geb Spock Gradle example. Hope it helps // If you wanted to set the baseUrl in your build…
	// systemProperty "geb.build.baseUrl", "http://myapp.com"

Dean,

Environments are used to flip the driver used in GebConfig.groovy on the example project that uses cucumber to drive Geb and it works: https://github.com/geb/geb-example-cucumber-jvm/blob/master/src/test/resources/GebConfig.groovy#L15.

One caveat is that since 0.8 the Gradle cucumber project runs features in a separate JVM so you need to pass the geb.env system property over from the build JVM to the cucumber JVM: https://github.com/geb/geb-example-cucumber-jvm/blob/master/build.gradle#L80.

I think the idea is great. I'm facing exactly the issue as I'm trying to implement continuous delivery. There are few GUI tests using geb, and they will run on different test environment. And I think a smoke test against PRODUCTION environment is also useful.

I found a workaround for this issue:

in GebConfig.groovy, we can put our logic directly where baseUrl is defined. example:

baseUrl = System.getenv().containsKey('CI')?"http://testenvironmentforCI:9090/appContext":"http://testenvironmentforCI:9090/appContext"

I need to change the base url for every tests. Like I am running tests for Uk, Us and so on. So for Uk tests the base url is www.myurl-uk.com and for us www.myurl-us.com. I need to set the base url run time. How to do that with Geb - spoke?

Thanks.

def setupSpec() {

   browser.setBaseUrl(..)

}

To the original poster: I do not want to be disrespectful, but really, is it asking to much to at least take a cursory glance at the manual?

http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#base-url

There the very first paragraph of that chapter tells you how to set the base URL via configuration or via API call. I mean, come on, do you really need a mailing list for that? Geb's manual is exceptionally good for an open source product.
