TestRunListener.beforeStep eventHandler is not triggering TestStep execution

I have the same script as a Groovy Script and it does execute that TestStep. But it does nothing when I put it on TestRunListener.beforeStep eventHandler. Any idea why? Thanks   testRunner.run...

Not all variables available in all the contexts.
Have a look at the right top corner of the script editor to see what variables available.

What are you trying to achieve, by the way?

    Not at pc.
    Open groovy script and look the editor's right corner of title bar.
    You would notice context, log, test runner etc.,
    Similarly you can notice wherever one can script such as the events, teardown, setup script for test case, suite, project etc.,

    So one can only use those variables in that script. Other than those will lead to error. That's the reason if some script works in test step, but not in the event in your case.

    Please find the available variables in color coded in below screen shots

     

    If a script is copied from groovy script to other places such as events, test suite tear down or any other place, they may not as is. May have to tweak a bit to make them work.
