Test Step "Run TestCase" How to get test step index of parent test case?

Hi all. I have a REST Project (I'm using SoapUI Pro) where I'm a little stuck.   In Test Case A I am using a test step "Run Test Case B". Inside of Test Case B I have a single step: a Groovy script...

    Etks,

     

    Not sure what your use case is. But that is interesting technically.

     

    And here is how you can get it. By the way, thank your for your search and the link with which I got the clue for the below:

     

    def nContext = context.getProperty("#CallingTestRunContext#")
log.info nContext.currentStepIndex

Thanks for your answer, but this doesn't address my problem. The posts in the link you provided explain how to run a test case from a groovy script. But I need to find out the test step number of the parent test case.

 

To clarify: I have a "helper method" test case (Test Case B in the above example). I insert this test case into other test cases (for example, Test Case A) where needed.

 

My test cases are built like this:

 

Test Case A

--Test Step 1 - SomeRequest

--Test Step 2 - SomethingElse

-- ...

-- Test Step x - Run Test Case B

-- Test Step x+1 - SomeOtherRequest

 

Test Case B

--Test Step 1 - Groovy Script

 

I need to find out what x is inside the Groovy script in Test Case B.

 

Since posting this I found out how to reference the parent test case in this link:

https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Pro/How-to-find-the-parent-Test-Case-of-a-Run-TestCase-step/td-p/18050

by using the Property #CallingRunTestCaseStep#

 

But I'm still stuck on how to get the test step.
