How to change Test Case Status using Groovy

towardsQuality 

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"
	}
}
return

Please 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
