How do I check if Geb Module "content" is present?

Question

I'm a bit new to the whole `Selenium`/`Geb` thing, so I'm probably going about this a bit wrong, but I'm trying to get the `exists()` method in the following code to work properly. ``` class Question extends Module { static base = { $("fieldset") } static content = { input { $("input[type=text]") } name { input.getAttribute("name").toString() } } boolean exists() { return input.isPresent() } ``` Frustratingly, when I try to execute that code (from a Spock Test, "go"ing to a PageObjectm including this module, I get the following: The required page content 'input - SimplePageContent (owner: question - Question (owner: MyPage, args: [], value: null), args: [], value: null)' is not present I've tried a number of other things, including: - `if (input) return true; return false`, - `... input.size() == 0`, - Using `static at = {...}` (doesn't seem to be supported for modules" Any ideas

By default Geb ensures that your content definitions return non empty elements. If your content is optional you can tell it using `required` content option:

```
name(required: false) { input.getAttribute("name").toString() }
```

Because Geb utilizes Groovy Truth to redefine how navigator are coerced to boolean values(empty navigators are falsey and non-empty are truthy) you can simplify your `exists` method to:

```
boolean exists() {
    input
} 
```
