    If you want to just enable  all the cases :

    testSuite.testCaseList.each { it.disabled = false }

    To disable:

    testSuite.testCaseList.each { it.disabled = true }

     

    To enable a test case by name:

    testSuite.testCases['TestCase 1'].disabled = false //you may change test case name.

    To disable:

    testSuite.testCases['TestCase 1'].disabled = true //you may change test case name.

     

    Does it help?

     

     

    EDIT: Was little confusing, after looking into details, then come to know the following:

    Are you using Test Case label in your script instead of Test Case name? There is a difference.

    log.info testSuite.testCases['TestCase 1'].name
log.info testSuite.testCases['TestCase 1'].label

    Output:

    Wed Dec 09 07:15:07 IST 2015:INFO:TestCase 1
Wed Dec 09 07:15:07 IST 2015:INFO:TestCase 1 (disabled)

Thanks Rao for responding.

 

Tried  isDisabled=testSuite.getTestCaseByName(TestCaseLabel).isDisabled() and see same error

 

 

 

Scenario 1.:When are test cases are enabled manually and script is run ,disabling works.Also,above statement works when all test cases enabled.returns False which is right.

Scenario 2:When test cases are disabled and i use the above statement,it throws error.

 

cannot invoke isdisabled() on null object.

 

attached a snapshot.

    Perfect Rao!

     

     

    What i tried was label but i was comparing the test case name from excel with the test label in test suite.It did not strike until i printed the testcaselist.

     

    Thanks you for the help!

     

    DisxlTestCase=testname+" (disabled)"
    testSuite.getTestCaseList().each {
    if (DisxlTestCase==it.getLabel().toString())
    {it.disabled = false }
    }

    nmrao is it possible to use the enable/disable scripts as part of even handler at project level to disable a particular TestCase/s by name in entire project?

      at the project level if we need to disable a case for every suite, which handler is recommended
