[Resolved] Failing Script Assertion Step on Test Step

I have a script assertion step that asserts a load of values that are returned in a response to a request. Currently I am passing in a map with three properties:

* Property Name
* ActualResult
* ExpectedResult

Most of the values that are returned are randomly generated by the test so what I want to do is to fail the test step with a prettier error. I have tried 


resultsToCheckMap.each()
{ 
 try 
 {
  assert it.get('ExpectedResult') == it.get('ActualResult')
 }
 catch(AssertionError e)
 {  
  context.testRunner.fail("Actual result did not match expected result for Property: " + it.get('PropertyName') + "Actual: " + it.get('ActualResult') + "ExpectedResult: " + it.get('ExpectedResult'))
 } 
}


which works OK but will only fail properly if the test case is ran but not when the test step is being ran manually.

So what I would like to do is just cause the script assert to fail with the more prettier error.

    Ended up solving this by throwing a new exception so the groovy I used was:

    resultsToCheckMap.each()
    {   
       try
       {
          assert it.get('ExpectedResult') == it.get('ActualResult')
       }
       catch(AssertionError e)
       { 
          throw new Exception("Actual result did not match expected result for Property: " + it.get('PropertyName') + "Actual: " + it.get('ActualResult') + "ExpectedResult: " + it.get('ExpectedResult'))
       }
    }
