runTestStepByName not updating excel if Datasink disabled

Hi, If the datasink step is disabled, the properties that you set are being set, but the datasink is not running if using runTestStepByname. By running I mean, the excel spreadsheet is not updated....

Hello,

The Excel DataSink needs to do some initializing and termination before and after being run for the data to be saved correctly. When the TestStep is disabled, these methods are not automatically called, and must be invoked manually. Instead of using testRunner.runTestStepByName, try this:


def testStep = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["update sub id in spreadsheet"]

testStep.prepare( testRunner, context )
testStep.run( testRunner, context )
testStep.finish( testRunner, context )
