[SOLVED]TestStep description not accessible

Using groovy in SoapUI 3.0.1,

     testRunner.testCase.getTestStepAt(1).description

does not return the TestStep description as it does for the TestSuite or TestCase.  The value seems to be stored similarly for both in the saved project.xml

     TestSuite generated for REST Service [REST]
     ...
     TestStep for REST Service [REST]

Any ideas?

    Did you want the description for the second step in the test case? The index for getTestStepAt is zero-based (but maybe you know that and it is a 3.0.1 bug...)

    Thanks for the tip, but that is not the issue in my case as you alluded and I think it is a 3.0.1 bug.  As I tested further, I realized that my delay and groovy script steps are returning a description.  It seems to only be an issue with my REST Test Request steps.  Any other ideas considering my new findings?

    Yes, looks like a valid bug in 3.0.2 as well. For example, HTTP Test Request will return a description, but REST Test Request will not.

    Looks like this will work:

    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("REST Test Request").getTestRequest().getDescription()

    However, both will work against a regular Test Request

    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Test Request").getDescription()
    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Test Request").getTestRequest().getDescription()

    So it is inconsistent.
