Make Geb work with AngularJS reliably, by waiting for the angular views to be resolved before attempting assertions. This uses the same onReady technique as Protractor.

angular-test-support.js

// Include this file in the head of your main layout.

window.MYAPP = window.MYAPP || {};

window.MYAPP.waitForAngular = function() {

    window.MYAPP.APP_READY = false;

    function done(err) {
        if (err) {
            console.error('Waiting for Angular:', err);
            return;
        }
        window.MYAPP.APP_READY = true;
    }

    var el = document.querySelector('html');

    try {
        if (!window.angular) {
            throw new Error('Angular could not be found on the window');
        }
        if (angular.getTestability) {
            angular.getTestability(el).whenStable(done);
        } else {
            if (!angular.element(el).injector()) {
                throw new Error('Root element (html) has no injector. This may mean it is not inside ng-app.');
            }
            angular.element(el).injector().get('$browser').notifyWhenNoOutstandingRequests(done);
        }
    } catch (err) {
        done(err.message);
    }
};

AngularJsAware.groovy

package extensions

trait AngularJsAware {

    boolean isAngularReady() {

        js.exec('window.MYAPP.waitForAngular();');
        waitFor {
            js.MYAPP.APP_READY == true
        }

    }

}

ExampleGebSpec.groovy

class ExampleGebSpec extends GebSpec {
  
  def 'Check that something is as it should be' {
    
    given:
      to ExamplePage
      
    expect:
      someResolvedText == 'This is fetched from a remote source'
    
  }
  
}

ExamplePage.groovy

class ExamplePage extends Page implements AngularJSAware {
  
  static at = {
    angularReady
  }
  
  static content = {
    someResolvedText { $('.some-selector').text()  }
  }
  
}

Hi @pbwebguy - I'm not sure what you mean by that. We use Geb as an alternative to Protractor, and this Gist is to give Geb the 'awareness' that protractor uses to ensure the page model is ready to be tested.
