The Apocrypha of Geb

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Argues that Geb is useful far beyond web testing and shows a working script that screen-scrapes Google and Bing for Chuck Norris references, using Geb for automation with the page object pattern, grabbed dependencies via Grape dependency fetch and run with Firefox and a Geb config. Demonstrates chaining by emitting results to stdout for piping, asserts Spock is optional, and points to source on GitHub — the example runs end to end and exposes lesser-known Geb features for small automation tasks.
