    Hi Vishal,

     

    Unchecking the "Abort test if an error occurs" option should be enough.

     

    How does your first Groovy script set the failed status? The proper way to fail a script is to use an assert or throw an exception, e.g.:

    assert somevalue == "expected value"

// or
if (somevalue != "expected value") {
  throw new Exception("Result is not as expected!")
}

    But if your Groovy script uses testRunner.fail:

    testRunner.fail("Result is not as expected!")

    then this line stops the entire test. The "Abort test if an error occurs" option is ignored in this case.

Hi Vishal,

 

Those steps are still executed. The gray icon simply means that these steps don't have any assertions, so Ready! API treats the test step status as UNKNOWN rather than OK/FAILED.

 

Steps with assertions appear with the green/red icon depending on the assertion status, steps without assertions appear gray.

        Hi

         

        Thanks a lot for your solution.

         

        I was using this.

        testRunner.fail("Result is not as expected!")

         

         

        Corrected my Groovy script. It's working fine now. Thanks

         

        Regards
