GEB Newbie

[Vikas Jain]

Hi,

I am currently using Java for my selenium scripts. I want to move to GEB for it's ease of use. But I am totally new to Groovy.
Can someone point me to Rookie's step by step guide?

Some of the places I have been stuck?
1. How does a .groovy file know where to look for the GEBConfig file? When I create a groovy project in IntelliJ does it matter where the config file is?
2. A comparison of JAVA with GEB will help so I can translate the difference and continue working on it.

Thanks in advance,
Vikas

Rookie step-by-step guide: This is your best bet: http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#introduction

1. GebConfig should be on the classpath without any package (i.e., default package)
• Ref: http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#the-config-script
2. Depending on your choice you can use Geb with either Spock, JUnit, TestNg and Cucumber-JVM
• Ref: http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#testing-intro

I've had good experience with Spock: http://spockframework.github.io/spock/docs/1.1-rc-1/all_in_one.html

The best Groovy guide is: http://www.groovy-lang.org/single-page-documentation.html

My suggestion would be don't learn groovy overnight, do it on demand. Read up on Geb first. I am not sure what your project is but try to run the examples as-is and you'll know what to do. http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#full-examples
