Weak failure trace when using page object pattern with spock and geb

When using spock+geb you can assert that you are on expected page by assertion e.g.:

assert title == 'Sign In'

and you get a nice failure trace if assertion fails:

Condition not satisfied:

title == 'Sign In'
|     |
Login false

But if I try to use page object pattern e.g.:

class LoginPage extends GebPage {
    static at = { title == 'Sign In' }
}

Trace is not very helping what's going wrong:

Condition not satisfied:

at(LoginPage)
|
false

Is there any way how to use page object pattern and get more descriptive failure trace ?

Solution

  • According to geb mailing list responses the current workaround is:

    static at = { assert title == 'Sign In'; true }
