How do I import TestRunner/How do I fail a test case without testRunner?

Hi SmartBear217 

One of the decent groovy scripters on here will be able to explain better than  I - I only play with it - but what you've found is correct - for a Groovy TestStep - testRunner is available, but for a script assertion it isn't, so you have to use messageExchange 

For example - the following works in a groovy script - the next is part of a script to grab a response header called 'originalFileName' that was generated from a step entitled 'POST Request (create call)'

//Takes one of the elements of the response Header
def value = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["POST Request (create call)"].testRequest.response.responseHeaders["originalFilename"]

Whereas for a script assertion to do the same thing I had to use messageExchange

//Takes one of the elements of the response Header
def value = messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.testSteps["POST Request (create call)"].testRequest.response.responseHeaders["originalFilename"]

Does that help at all?   As I say - I'm not a groovy scripter I just play around with it - one of the other chaps on here will be able to explain it all

cheers,
