gotostepbyname does not seem to work in forward progress

Hello,

I often use testRunner.gotoStepByName to handle conditional workflow in my project.

So far it was to loop backwards in my testcase, as I try to use it to jump forward to a next step it does not seem to work.

Here the test layout

- step to get a 'type' information :

switch (item_type)
{
	case "a":
	case "b":
		testRunner.gotoStepByName("next_step")
	break;
	default:
		log.warn "\"$item_type\" not processed"
		testRunner.gotoStepByName("last_step")
	break;
}

When I run my first groovy step it shows the warning and the jump to the last step

If I run the testCase, it shows the warning but it goes through the intermediate steps (next_step and after) !

Can anyone help me to understand what I've done wrong ?

 

thank you
