Geb Spock - Repeating the Entire Test Suite - spock

Question

In combination with Geb and Spock, is there a way to iterate the entire test suite?
As an example, consider a test suite class - MyExampleTestSpec with two specs in it.
Class MyExampleTestSpec extends GebSpec {
def "testSpec1"(){
when:
then:
}
def "testSpec2"(){
given:
when:
then:
where:
}
}
A single Spec can be re-iterated using the "where" clause. But what is the option to re-iterate the entire suite?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

So it really depends on what you are testing. There is no way to do a where on a class level by default. you could make an annotation to pull from a source and do a replace on values.
Something I have done is have a more generic test. Notice that parameters can be inserted into the BDD method comments. you could make these each a custom parameter. the only issue is that you would need to have the same number of elements each time.
#Unroll
def "Failed request to obtain Oath Token by #failure"(){
given: "a user is attempting to use the 'Obtain OAuth Token' endpoint"
when: "the Content-Type is set to #content_type"
request.setContentType(content_type)
and: "the Accept type is set to #accept"
request.addHeader("Accept", accept)
and: "the user sets the client_id as #clientId"
and: "the user set the client_secret as #clientSecret"
and: "the grant_type is set as #grantType"
and: "the request type is #requestType"
request.setPostBody(ApiRequestBody.oAuthBody(client_id:clientId,client_secret:clientSecret,grant_type:grantType))
response = request.postExecute()
then: "an appropriate status code (#status) is returned"
response.status == status
and: "the error response is '#error_message'"
response.data.errors[0].message == error_message
and: "the error code is #error_code"
response.data.errors[0].code == error_code
and: "the response type is #response_type"
response.contentType == response_type
where:
[failure, content_type, accept, clientId, clientSecret, grantType, requestType, status, error_message, error_code, response_type] <<
