Unable to use groovy Webdriver scripts in WebdriverSampler

Question

I am trying to use groovy script to launch my client using webdriver sampler and it doesn't work as expected.only JavaScript is working with the following code

var pkg = JavaImporter(org.openqa.selenium); //WebDriver classes
var support_ui = JavaImporter(org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait); //WebDriver classes
var wait = new support_ui.WebDriverWait(WDS.browser, 5000);

WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart(); //captures sampler's start time
WDS.sampleResult.getLatency();
WDS.log.info("Sample started");

WDS.browser.get('https://google.com/'); 

Answer 1

1. Groovy syntax differ from JavaScript, i.e. there is no JavaImporter there, you should use import keyword instead
2. There is no var keyword in Groovy/Java (unless you're using Java 10), you need to change it to def keyword

3. Assuming all above you need to amend your code to look like:

   import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait
   
   def wait = new WebDriverWait(WDS.browser,5000);
   
   WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart(); //captures sampler's start time
   WDS.sampleResult.getLatency();
   WDS.log.info("Sample started");
   
   WDS.browser.get('https://google.com/');
