Groovy script to run a Teststep doesn't fail when the test Step fails

Instead of copying and pasting test steps that I am using over and over in other test cases i decided to use a grovvy step to call the test step.  When one of the assertions fail on the step the grov...

    All you need is just a line in order to check if the particular test step us passed or not.

    Rremove every thing after line 10 of your script and add below line.

    Assuming that  the expected result is pass.

     

     

    assert tStep.run(testRunner, context).status.toString()  in ['OK', 'UNKNOWN'], ' Test step status does not match with the expected value'

     

     

     

    In case you are expecting tStep to be failed, the use below assertion

     

     

     

    assert tStep.run(testRunner, context).status.toString() == 'FAILED', 'Test step status does not match the expected result'

nemowbray : In order to achieve this you need to assert it in the groovy script which is calling that common Test Step:

 

 

def result = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["TEST_STEP_NAME"].run(testRunner, context).getStatus().toString()

if ( result == "OK")
	testRunner.pass("Test Script passed.")
else
	testRunner.fail("Test Script failed.")

    HimanshuTayal I added an assert but still the test would not fail, but using your solution has worked!  Seems i was overthinking it.  Thanks!

    Hi HimanshuTayal, 

     

    Seems i jumped the gun as I thought it was working but it wasn't.  Its failing every case even though the test passes.

     

    //CHECK FAILED COMMUNICATIONS
    // Run the test step
    def tStep = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.getTestCaseByName("followup_email - Valid English First").getTestStepByName("Check for Failed Communications")

    //Execute Test Step
    tStep.run(testRunner, context).getStatus().toString()

    //Results
    log.info(tStep.getAssertionStatus())
    log.info(tStep.getAssertableContentAsXml())

    //ASSERT
    def result = tStep.getAssertionStatus()
    log.info(result)
    if (result == "PASS")
    testRunner.pass("Test Script passed.")
    else
    testRunner.fail("Test Script failed.")

      nemowbray : try with

       

      if(result.toString() == "PASS"){

      //your logic

      }

      else{

      //your logic

      }
