It is not possible to do image upload using geb.
Refer this link: http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#file-upload
It’s currently not possible with WebDriver to simulate the process of a user clicking on a file upload control and choosing a file to upload via the normal file chooser. However, you can directly set the value of the upload control to the absolute path of a file on the system where the driver is running and on form submission that file will be uploaded.
<input type="file" name="csvFile">
$("form").csvFile = "/path/to/my/file.csv"
