geb.Browser is trying to use FirefoxDriver instead of PhatomJSDriver - gradle

Question

For some reason, my code tries to use the firefox browser when it should be using phantomjs.
My groovy code looks like this:
import geb.Browser
...
env = System.getenv()
def username = env.username
def password = env.password
def gateway = env.gateway
def matcher = gateway =~ /^(https?:\/\/)([^:^\/]*)(:\d*)?(.*)?.*$/
def host = matcher[0][2]
def port = matcher[0][3]
if (env.driver == 'firefox') {
driver = new FirefoxDriver()
} else {
println env.phantomjspath
def caps = DesiredCapabilities.phantomjs()
caps.setCapability(
PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY, env.phantomjspath
)
driver = new PhantomJSDriver(caps)
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1028, 768))
}
def browser = new Browser(driver: driver)
BiHome = "https://" + username + ":" + password + "#" + host + port + "/gateway/default/BigInsightsWeb/#/welcome"
browser.drive {
go BiHome
// code omitted for brevity
}
browser.close()
Unfortunately, for some reason geb.Browser is trying to use the FirefoxDriver:

environment 'password', props.password
main = 'CheckHome'
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
}
Any idea what is going wrong here?

Answer 1

Geb creates a new Browser instance when you call.
Browser drive(Closure script)
Instead try with
Browser drive(Browser browser, Closure script)
So change your code to
Browser.drive(browser) {
go BiHome
// code omitted for brevity
}
