Geb Automation Skill

# Geb Automation Skill

For TestMu AI cloud execution, see [reference/cloud-integration.md](reference/cloud-integration.md) and [shared/testmu-cloud-reference.md](../shared/testmu-cloud-reference.md).

## Core Patterns

### Basic Test (Spock)

```groovy
import geb.spock.GebSpec

class LoginSpec extends GebSpec {
    def "login with valid credentials"() {
        when:
        to LoginPage
        emailInput.value("user@test.com")
        passwordInput.value("password123")
        loginButton.click()

        then:
        at DashboardPage
        welcomeMessage.text().contains("Welcome")
    }

    def "login shows error for invalid credentials"() {
        when:
        to LoginPage
        emailInput.value("wrong@test.com")
        passwordInput.value("wrong")
        loginButton.click()

        then:
        at LoginPage
        errorMessage.displayed
        errorMessage.text().contains("Invalid")
    }
}
```

### Page Objects

```groovy
class LoginPage extends geb.Page {
    static url = "/login"
    static at = { title == "Login" }
    static content = {
        emailInput { $("#email") }
        passwordInput { $("#password") }
        loginButton { $("button[type='submit']") }
        errorMessage(required: false) { $(".error") }
    }
}

class DashboardPage extends geb.Page {
    static url = "/dashboard"
    static at = { $(".dashboard").displayed }
    static content = {
        welcomeMessage { $(".welcome") }
        userName { $(".user-name") }
    }
}
```

### Navigator API

```groovy
$("css-selector")
$("div", class: "active")
$("input", name: "email")
$("div.items li", 0)        // First match
$("div.items li").size()     // Count

// Actions
element.click()
element.value("text")
element << "text"            // Append text
element.text()
element.displayed
element.@href                // Attribute
```

### Cloud: `driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(gridUrl), caps)`

## Setup: Gradle with `geb-spock` and `selenium-support` dependencies

### Cloud Execution on TestMu AI

Set environment variables: `LT_USERNAME`, `LT_ACCESS_KEY`

```groovy
// GebConfig.groovy
environments {
    lambdatest {
        driver = {
            def ltOptions = [
                user: System.getenv("LT_USERNAME"),
                accessKey: System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY"),
                build: "Geb Build",
                name: "Geb Test",
                platformName: "Windows 11",
                video: true,
                console: true,
                network: true,
            ]
            def caps = new ChromeOptions()
            caps.setCapability("LT:Options", ltOptions)
            new RemoteWebDriver(
                new URL("https://hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub"), caps)
        }
    }
}
```

Run: `./gradlew test -Dgeb.env=lambdatest`
## Run: `./gradlew test`
