Learn how to use Geb framework to configure and run your Java automation testing scripts on the LambdaTest platform.

Table Of Contents

Pre-requisites

Before you can start performing Geb automation testing with Selenium, you would need to:

  • Install the latest Java development environment i.e. JDK 1.6 or higher. We recommend using the latest version.

  • Download the latest Selenium Client and its WebDriver bindings from the official website. Latest versions of Selenium Client and WebDriver are ideal for running your automation script on LambdaTest Selenium cloud grid.

  • Install Maven. It can be downloaded and installed following the steps from the official website. Maven can also be installed easily on Linux/MacOS using Homebrew package manager.

Cloning Repo And Installing Dependencies

Step 1: Clone the LambdaTest’s Geb GitHub Repository and navigate to the code directory as shown below:

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/geb-parallel-sample-code
cd geb-parallel-sample-code

Step 2: Compile Maven dependencies using the below command:

mvn compile

You may also want to run the command below to check for outdated dependencies.

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates

Setting Up Your Authentication

Make sure you have your LambdaTest credentials with you to run test automation scripts. You can get these credentials from the LambdaTest Automation Dashboard or by your LambdaTest Profile.

Step 3: Set LambdaTest Username and Access Key in environment variables.

  • For Linux/macOS:

    export LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME" 
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"
    • For Windows:
    set LT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME" 
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR ACCESS KEY"

Run Your First Test

Configuring Your Test Capabilities

Step 4: In capabilities.json file, you need to update your test capabilities. Here, we are passing browser, browser version, and operating system information, along with LambdaTest Selenium grid capabilities via capabilities object. The capabilities object in the above code are defined as:

{
  "build": "GebParallelTest", 
  "platform":  "Windows 10", 
  "browserName": "Microsoft Edge", 
  "version":"latest"
}

{
  "build": "GebParallelTest", 
  "platform":  "Windows 10", 
  "browserName": "Chrome", 
  "version":"latest"
}

You can generate capabilities for your test requirements with the help of Desired Capability Generator.

Executing The Test

Step 5: The tests can be executed in the terminal from the root of the project using the following commands:

./run.sh
mvn -Dlambdageb.capabilities=capabilities clean test

Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on LambdaTest Automation Dashboard.

Testing Locally Hosted Or Privately Hosted Projects

You can test your locally hosted or privately hosted projects with LambdaTest Selenium grid using LambdaTest Tunnel. All you would have to do is set up an SSH tunnel using tunnel and pass toggle tunnel = True via desired capabilities. LambdaTest Tunnel establishes a secure SSH protocol based tunnel that allows you in testing your locally hosted or privately hosted pages, even before they are live.

Refer our LambdaTest Tunnel documentation for more information.

Here’s how you can establish LambdaTest Tunnel.

Download the binary file of:

Open command prompt and navigate to the binary folder.

Run the following command:

LT -user {user’s login email} -key {user’s access key}

So if your user name is lambdatest@example.com and key is 123456, the command would be:

LT -user lambdatest@example.com -key 123456

Once you are able to connect LambdaTest Tunnel successfully, you would just have to pass on tunnel capabilities in the code shown below :

Tunnel Capability

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();        
        capabilities.setCapability("tunnel", true);
