How to change Test Case Status using Groovy
Hi!
There is some integration and timing uncertainty within the product under test that has required me to utilize some Groovy code to retry a test step (a REST GET call) x number of times, with y amount of time between each try.
As soon as RAPI encounters a test step failure, it sets the entire test case to FAIL. But in my case, subsequent runs of the above noted test step may pass. This leaves a test case with all passing test cases, but a failed test.
I want to be able to set the test case to PASS if this scenario occurs. I've tried multiple things and done a bunch of web searches, but am stuck. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
Here the code I'm using in my teardown step:
After looking at all the responses,
Current steps:
POST REST Request
Groovy Script with retry logic
GET REST Request
Here is what I would suggest or do in this scenario.
Changes of sequence:
POST REST Request
GET REST Request (Disable the step)
Groovy script with retry logic
Reason being that the execution control will be at Groovy Script step and still be able to run the GET call. Also avoid stopping the test execution by disabling the GET call step.
And there is no need to have any logic for Tear Down script of the test case as well.
Assuming that the test steps are in same sequence and there is no other steps in between these.
And here is the groovy script content goes:
import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.Assertable.AssertionStatus import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestStepResult.TestStepStatus def maxAttempts = 7 def waiting = 10 def doubleIt = { it * 2 } def currentWait = 1 //Get the test step just before the current groovy script step, which is GET REST call step def step = context.testCase.testStepList[context.currentStepIndex-1] def isStepFailed = { log.info "Executing test step : ${step.name}" def result = step.run(testRunner, context) log.info "Assertion : ${step.assertionStatus}" log.info "Step result: ${result.status}" result.status == TestStepStatus.FAILED ? true : false } /** * This will first wait for 10 sec, then 20 sec, then 40 sec so that number calls will be reduced, you can change it as needed */ def waitFor = { currentWait = (it == 1) ? currentWait : doubleIt(currentWait) log.info "Waiting for ${waiting * currentWait} seconds before attempting ${step.name} again" Thread.sleep(1000 * waiting * currentWait) } for(item in 1..maxAttempts) { waitFor(item) log.info "Attempt: $item" if (!isStepFailed()) { break } else { //Test will be failed once GET call fails after exhaustings maxAttempts if (item == maxAttempts) assert false, "GET instance failed after $item attempts" } } returnPlease give it a try and see if it helps!
By the way, no need to change the Test Case options unlike discussed earlier, keep the default
