Testcontainer Webdriver to be used with GebSpec

Testcontainers are great! They are easy to setup and easy to use, but I did struggle a bit with the Selenium test-container.

Inspired by this github project: https://github.com/geb/geb-testcontainers-videos-per-test I created a small library with the suggested Webdriver, and added the needed code to use it with GebSpec

Basic configuration

In your build.gradle make depencencies to

    testCompile "org.testcontainers:spock:1.15.3"
    testCompile "org.testcontainers:selenium:1.15.3"
    testCompile "dk.glasius:geb-testcontainers:1.0.1"

In your test/resources or integration-test/resources make a minimum GebConfig.groovy like this:

import dk.glasius.geb.testcontainers.TestcontainersWebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

def container = new BrowserWebDriverContainer()
        .withCapabilities(chrome())

driver = {
    new TestcontainersWebDriver(container)
}

In contrast to the geb-testcontainers-videos-per-test this

1. Does not start the container right away
2. Does not do video recordings. The example from geb-testcontainers-videos-per-test can be used, but do not start the container in GebConfig.groovy

Usage

For specifications extending a GebSpec you should implement the TestcontainersGeb trait. This will set up the correct reverse port forwarding for the test-container, allowing you to test your running application.

See geb-testcontainers-demo in this project.
