Assert = false and log.info to the console

When firstName is null I would like to assert false and print log.info but in "else" part I cannot print log.info to console. Any thoughts?

Following piece of script.  

======================================================

def firstName1 = (json.nameList[0].firstName) // take Name
if ( firstName1 != null ) { // firstName1 has a value. It's not null
{assert true}
log.info("firstName = " + firstName1) // print to console
}
else { log.info("firstName = " + firstName1)
{ assert false}
}

    its throwing an error at log.info in else. 

     

    you are trying to print the value which null thats why its giving error.

     

    you can use log.info ("firstname is null")

      Actually it's not giving error. It's just no executed. If I comment assert out, I will get log.info to the console

      ======================================================

      def firstName1 = (json.nameList[0].firstName) // take Name
      if ( firstName1 != null ) { // firstName1 has a value. It's not null
      {assert true}
      log.info("firstName = " + firstName1) // print to console
      }
      else { log.info("firstName = " + firstName1)
      // { assert false}
      }

      ======================================================

      Then I will see output
