Hey there,

 

What are you trying to achieve? 

 

Is the testcase2 disabled by default or why doesn't it run anyways after testcase1?

    Yes, testcase2 is disabled.  I'm trying to run testcase2 only when the testcase1 request returns 401.

      Hi,

       

      This is how I done it and it seemed to work... The following is my project setup:

       

       

      You can see that I have a groovy script at the end of TestCase_1. This will check whether the response has a 401 status code and if so it will trigger the execution of TestCase_2:

       

      // Get status code header
def statusCodeHeader = context.testCase.testSteps["Request_1"].testRequest.response.responseHeaders["#status#"]

// Extract only the status code
def statusCode = (statusCodeHeader =~ "[1-5]\\d\\d")[0]

// If the status code is 401 then execute TestCase_2
if (statusCode.equals("401")) {
	log.info "yes"
	def testSuite = context.getTestCase().getTestSuite()
	def refreshTestCase = testSuite.getTestCaseByName("TestCase_2")
	refreshTestCase.run(null, false)	
}

      Let me know if this worked!
