I don't think this is correct. We containerized Geb and no longer use a local browser for testing.

We do not use travis. Can you please convert this project to a subproject of grails-core?

The GebConfig.groovy file configures local browser drivers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), but since Geb is now containerized, this setup won't work. You should update it to use a remote WebDriver pointing to the containerized browser instance instead. |

I've been working on issue #14700 to bring back the profile testing functionality that was lost when the old shell scripts were removed. This was my first major contribution to Apache Grails, and I wanted to make sure I understood the problem thoroughly before implementing a solution.
What I found
When I dug into this issue, I discovered that the original profile tests were shell scripts that got removed in commit 9b8fa17 because they were outdated and needed reworking. These tests were quite comprehensive - they would create actual Grails applications using different profiles, run various grails commands, and even included functional tests with Geb/Selenium.
My approach
Instead of simply restoring the old shell scripts, I decided to modernize the approach by converting them to proper Gradle-based tests. I created a new grails-profiles-tests module that:
Uses Spock framework for testing (which fits well with the existing Grails ecosystem)
Leverages Grails Forge for programmatic application generation
Tests all the key profile functionality (web, plugin, rest-api profiles)
Includes both unit/integration tests and functional tests
Works cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS)
Integrates cleanly with the existing Gradle build system
What's included
The solution provides comprehensive test coverage that verifies:
Profile directory structure creation
Configuration file generation
Profile-specific commands and workflows
Application building and packaging
Functional testing capabilities
I also made sure to preserve the original shell scripts with proper ASF license headers for reference, maintaining backward compatibility while providing the modern testing approach.
