    Just going through my previous posts (I have a job interview) and I came across this and I now know the answer.

     

    The test was not looping because of the failed step - disabling the test case option checkbox 'Abort test if an error occurs' was the problem.

     

    Just thought I'd update the post with the answer in case anyone else comes across this,

     

    cheers,

OK - this is weird - I've discovered the problem - but I don't understand why.

 

I had an assertion (valid http status codes, 200) specified and my GET request was failing (200 wasn't being returned).

 

When I removed the failed assertion (leaving the assertion that passes in place) - the loop function started working.

 

Should the loop not execute if a test step within the test case fails?

 

Is there a setting in SoapUI where I can set the loop to continue looping despite finding a failure?  Cos if there isn't - this is going to cause me a lot of problems!

 

 

Thanks,
