Browser Automation with Geb, Spock, and Groovy

22 October 2018

I recently gave a talk and demonstration, Browser Automation with Geb, Spock, and Groovy, at the Capital Area Software Engineers group in Harrisburg, PA. While explaining the whole stack of software, I showed how to:

  • Start a project in Gradle

  • Get the Geb and Webdriver dependencies in place

  • Get started in Spock testing framework

  • Start up a browser for testing

  • Interact with the page content

  • Wait for asynchronous content

  • Abstract away page components into Geb Page classes

The slides and all the code are available in my geb-preso repo. It includes copies of the code I had prepared, the code we wrote live as a group, and my little toy Planning Poker JS app I was testing.
