Well, for instance I have manually declared a tag "ERROR" at project level.

At the end of each test, in my teardown script I have a small processing to display the test result and I would like, depending on the test result, to set or unset this ERROR tag. This, in order to launch the next run with the tag ERROR and replay only the failing test cases.

So far, in my teardown script, I can get the tag id (with getTagId("ERROR")) and I can check if it is assigned to the current test (isTagAssigned), what I would like to do is :

- if the test fails, set the ERROR tag to the current test

- if the test passes and the tag ERROR is set, unset this tag

 

do you think it is possible with groovy ?

 

thanks

All you are trying to do is to find the test cases error out?

    I know how to find them, but I'd like to apply my "ERROR" tag on those tests dynamically with groovy.

    but there is no 'setTagId' method available as far as I know.

    I think I can't handle it with custom property as I call testRunner through a TFS build and I gets sources at each run, this would imply to commit the project with the execution status, which cannot be done dynamically.

    Maybe I can store test's status in a separate file and use it for running tests in error only ...
