How to take screenshots in a module in geb

Question

Hi we run Geb tests on the Spock framework. I am trying to take a screenshot in a module using report "Screenshot". It does not recognize the report function as it does on a Spec. How should I go about taking screenshots in a module.

Here is a example code which is in a module.

try{
    $(By.xpath("//button[@ng-click=\"ok()\"]")).click()
   }
catch (Throwable t){
                                                                  failures.add("\n Could not click on the Ok button after the Ticket created successfully message appeared")

report "Failure"
}

Answer 1

The report() method is available on Browser class and an instance of that class is available as browser property inside of modules, so you can call it from within a module using:

browser.report("Failure")

Answer 2

Use the parent class GebReportingSpec (instead of GebSpec) to create a report of all your tests.

When you only want a screenshot of failing tests, use the config value reportOnTestFailureOnly=true in your GebConfig.groovy
