[WARNING]
====
On a static nested class Groovy inserts synthetic variants of `propertyMissing` and `methodMissing` which will overwrite the versions in the superclasses and not forward to them. (See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11823[GROOVY-11823])

In this case the dynamic dispatching to browser does not work, and you have to use the slightly more verbose version with `browser...`.
====

=== Configuration

The browser instance is created by the testing integrations via use of `{geb-test-manager-api}`. The <<configuration, configuration mechanism>> allows you to control aspects such as the driver implementation and base URL.
