    I put in a case with SmartBear support and got this resolved. Turns out, when just executing the Groovy script, it has no context of the DataSource and can't find the values, but it will pick them up when executing the test case. Makes sense, but it does make debugging Groovy scripts a little more difficult.

OK, now I'm back to square one -- this has suddenly stopped working again and I have not touched this project.

 

Attached is a screenshot of my script result. I know that my datasource is working and configured properly because using the normal syntax to retrieve a value works. It's only when I use the syntax to retrieve a row by index that this returns nothing.

    If you set a breakpoint in the Groovy Script TestStep and then executes the whole TestCase using the Debug icon in the TestCase editor (instead of the Play button) the context should be correct when the Debugger stops the execution on the breakpoint.

      Matti's suggestion above works as well, in debug mode it will pick up the values from the spreadsheet. OK, I am satisfied now!
