can't pass value to the input fied in test case

I would like to pass a value to the input fied, in the test case. however this is not working. Below is my code. 

   class Mypage extends Page {
    static content = { 

       inputfield { withFrame ("myFrame") {$('input',name:'myInputField') } 

    }
   }
 }

Then tested it this way:

given:
    String thevalue = "hello"
then:
    to Mypage
and:
    inputfield >> thevalue

With this code I get the

StaleElementReference error and the chrome driver information

I then tried the following by putting the thevalue variable in Mypage class:

class Mypage extends Page {

      public  String thevalue = "hello"

      static content = { 

           inputfield { withFrame ("myFrame") 
{$('input',name:'myInputField') } 


    }
   }
 }

Then tested it the same way with no given:

then:
    to Mypage
and:
    inputfield >> thevalue

I Still get the same error.

I then tried a third form:

class Mypage extends Page {

      //public  String thevalue = "hello"

      static content = { 

           inputfield { withFrame ("myFrame") 
{ thevalue -> $('input',name:'myInputField').value(thevalue ) } 


    }
   }
 }

Then tested it in 2 ways:

then:
    to Mypage
and:
    inputfield("hello")

and this way:

then:
    to Mypage
and:
    inputfield >> "hello"

The only way which is working is when I pass the value directly in the class

         inputfield { withFrame ("myFrame") 
{  $('input',name:'myInputField').value("hello") }

But the goal is to the pass the value in the test. How do I do that

If you really don't want to follow Rushby's suggestion and stick to the path you shown in your question then the following will work:

class Mypage extends Page {
    static content = { 
        inputfield { thevalue ->
            withFrame ("myFrame") { 
                $('input',name:'myInputField').value(thevalue) 
            } 
        }
    }
}

and

then:
    to Mypage
and:
    inputfield("hello")

If you follow the Geb example from The Book of Geb you have your page and it contains an iframe. The iframe in the example has its own page object:

class PageWithFrame extends Page {
    static content = {
        myFrame(page: FrameDescribingPage) { $('#frame-id') }
    }
}

//This is your iframe page object
class FrameDescribingPage extends Page {
    static content = {
        myTextField { $('input',name:'myInputField') }
    }
}

Now to interact with it, you do this within your test method:

def "my test method"() {
when: 
   to PageWithFrame
   withFrame(myFrame) {
       myTextField.value("whatever")
   }
   //etc
 }
