There is nothing stopping you from using GebConfig.groovy for any arbitrary
configuration but I personally wouldn't as I find it not a clean solution -
you'd be mixing concerns. I wouldn't do it especially as it's relatively
easy to roll your own config using the same mechanism Geb is using which is
available in core Groovy, namely groovy.util.ConfigSlurper which has
support for environment specific configuration.
Rolling your own mechanism would also make it possible for you to have the
behaviour you're asking in 3. You could create the following method at the
top of your config script:
def propertyOrValue(String propertyName, value) {
System.getProperty(propertyName) ?: value
}
And then you can use it like:
foo {
bar = propertyOrValue('foo.bar', 'buzz')
}
environments {
superDuper {
foo {
bar = propertyOrValue('foo.bar', 'bizz')
}
}
}
If you want to make the propertyOrValue() method reusable because you
envisage having multiple configuration scripts then you could create a base
script class (extends groovy.lang.Script), use
groovy.lang.GroovyShell.parse() together with a custom compiler
configuration (as shown by Mr. Haki at
http://mrhaki.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/groovy-goodness-create-our-own-script.html)
to compile and initiate your config script with a custom base class and
then pass it to ConfigSlurper.parse(Script).
