gradle-geb

Gradle plugin for UI tests with geb and spock

Adds tasks for geb-based UI tests to a gradle project.
Currently, the plugin should work with gradle 1.6.

What it should do

Eventually, the plugin should be able to analyze the tests in the project. For the non-UI tests, everything should stay like it is, they should be run by the default gradle test task.
For the UI tests, a custom test task should be added for every supported browser, i.e. firefoxTest, ieTest etc., probably with a dependency from the test task to one of the UI tasks, maybe depending on the OS.
When gradle test is run, the non-UI tests should be run as usual, for the UI tests, an embedded jetty should be started before the respective task's execution and terminated afterward.

Current issues

• Lacks documentation
• Lacks tests
• Lacks license headers
• Does not specify test inputs/outputs, so tests are always out-of-date
• Spock configs are used to run only the UI tests in the UI test tasks and the non-UI tests in the regular test task. The test reports for the different tasks are generated with empty reports for the excluded tests (see also http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/how_can_i_specify_test_classes_filtered_by_whether_they_extend_a_certain_base_class),
• Jetty is not explicitly shut down after running the tests, I'm not sure if this is an issue. If it is, we could define a stop port and key for the jettyTest task and use those to shut down the container.
