Intellij 13 ultimate runs geb tests smoothly but they wait when run independently

Question

I am using cucumber groovy with geb. Here is my profile and driver

FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
firefoxProfile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(false);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
        "text/csv,application/pdf,application/csv,application/vnd.ms-excel");
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete",false);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", false);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit", true);
firefoxProfile.setPreference("webdriver.load.strategy", "unstable")

driver = {
    def driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile)
    driver
}

Here is my step definition (FYI, this is the firstmost step)

MyPage.setUrl(Globals.get(key))
to MyPage
waitFor(10,0) {
    ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.tagName("title"))
}
at MyPage

I noticed that if i put a breakpoint at "at MyPage" in intellij and debug then it breaks at that point and then i can resume. However if I simply run either from Intellij or using ./gradlew clean cucumber then the page loads and waits for a long time. I don't think it ever proceeds (only waited for a minute to check)

Whats the issue here ?

Update 1

class MyPage extends Page{

    static url = ""

    static at = {
        module1.attrib.value() != null
        Globals.get(module1.attrib.value())
    }

    static content = {
        module1 { module Module1 } // Simple Geb Module
        module2 { fieldsMap ->  module Module2, fieldsMap: fieldsMap }
    }
}


class Module2 extends Module {

    def fieldsMap
    static content = {
        textField { $("input", name: fieldsMap['textFieldName']) }
    }
}

Answer 1

Updated version of Selenium and firefox fixed the issue. Closing this

Answer 2

Try doing it in a more gebish way:

1. Set the url explicitly in a subClass of MyPage - you should really try to use one page object per page.

2. define an at condition and use it to test for the waitFor condition for the page to wait till its loaded.

By default an at condition will wait for its condition to be true.

and

do not use ExpectedConditions try something more Gebish like:

waitFor { title != "" }

In your at condition you have not properly specified a truth statement. Although I am not sure what Globals.get(module1.attrib.value()) returns? But it looks like you should remove this line and do this logic somewhere else.

Calling value returns a string.

Module 1

class MyPage extends Page{

    static url = ""

    static at = { 
        waitFor { module1.attrib.value() != ""  }
    }   
}

MyPage.setUrl(Globals.get(key))
to MyPage
at MyPage

Just nit picking here:

driver = {
    new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile)
}
