Grails with Geb/Spock : Grails doesn't take my baseUrl - grails

Question

I'm using Grails 2.2.1 with the recent Geb version. My Spec test files are under
functional/com.geb.mytest/
My GebConfig is on the same package as my Specs..
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile
driver = {
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile()
new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile)
}
reportsDir = "target/test-reports"
baseUrl = 'http://myserver.com'
waiting {
timeout = 5
retryInterval = 0.5
presets {
slow {
timeout = 20
retryInterval = 1
}
quick {
timeout = 1.5
retryInterval = 0.3
}
}
}
environments {
}
When I run grails test-app -functional my baseUrl is not taken in consideration...instead I have a localhost url..
Is there a way to avoid putting the baseUrl as an argument in the grails test-app command?
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try setting up baseUrl in class which is extended for every test class you have:
class BaseUrlTest extends GroovyTestCase {
def baseURL
#Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
baseURL = 'your url here'
}
}
then your test class looks like this
class myTests extends BaseUrlTest {
void testSomething() {}
}
