Script assertion passes individually but fails in running testSuite

Thanks for your suggestion! I put a delay in the testcase before the step, and tried a delay in the script assertion but the problems persists. 

Troubleshooting I now noticed that this error is also thrown when there is no assertion. So the actual problem is that this step is never completed when ran in a testcase, but runs properly when fired as an individual request.

The test is to see whenether a request without a certificate gets a null response on an secure port. This apparantly throws an javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException.

My http log shows:

• [write] I/O error: Connection has been shutdown: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

The error log shows:

• Mon May 27 10:01:56 CEST 2019: ERROR: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

Which is not unexpected given the testsituation, but how to make soapui run past this Exception?

Thanks for your suggestion! I've tried a delay but the problem persists. 

Troubleshooting I realized it had nothing to do with the script assertion but with the request. Without an assertion the step is also never completed, and stays 'grey. 

The teststep fires a request without a keystore on a secure port to check that whenether the response is null. This runs a single request, but does not in a testcase. 

Apparantly this is because this attempt throws an exception; (@error log)

• Mon May 27 10:35:19 CEST 2019: ERROR: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

And this causes ReadyAPI to stop the testplan. When ran as a single request, the exception is also thrown, but doesn't halt execution, and the scipt assertion is tested normally.
