Page Content From a list

[Adam Gilbert]

Hello, 

All the web elements I'm going to access have ID's, so I was hoping to define the content using just a list of expected ID's. 

for example: 
static def ids = ['header', 'title', 'element1', 'etc']

static content = {

    ids.each {[it: {$(By.id(it))}]}

}

However, it is unable to resolve any of them "as content or as a property on its navigator context". 

How should I be defining content through a list? 

Thanks, 

Adam

Content defintions are method calls and not map entries. You should use the following:

static def ids = ['header', 'title', 'element1', 'etc']

static content = {

    ids.each { id ->

        "$id"({ $(id: id) })

    }

}

Can templates declared in this method be used as targets of assignment (e.g. when their elements are form inputs)?

[Marcin Erdmann]

If you’re asking whether content defined in this dynamic way can be used with form control shortcuts (used as target of assignements) then yes. There is nothing special to content defined that way from Geb’s point of view.

Actually, was thinking more along the lines of:

def fillForm() {
    ids.each { /* it */ << 'foo' }
}

[Marcin Erdmann]

You could probably simply do:

ids.each { $(id: it) << 'foo' }

and if you really need to go through content definitions then you can do:

ids.each { this."$it" = 'foo' }

or 

ids.each { this[it] = 'foo' }

because form shortcuts are implemented using propertyMissing() on Page and Module:
