Execute next testcase when the previous one failed

I have the following setup: A testsuite with 2 testcases TCA and TCB. Each testcase contains 3 teststeps (TSA1, TSA2, TSA3 & TSB1, TSB2, TSB3). In TSA2 I have added an assertion that makes th...

    d4vke,

     

    In that case, as far as my knowledge says, no inbuilt feature is there in ReadyAPI where you can do this.

     

    For this you need to write bit groovy in each step to achieve this. or you can create a run controller which execute all your TestCases via groovy only(but this needs too much coding)

     

    Write Script Assertion, which check whether the Step is passed or not, 

    if step status == passed(validating this by userName or by response Header or if using SOAP then by status)

    {

    'do nothing

    }

    else

    {

    'disable next steps

    context.testCase.getTestStepByName("RetrieveData").setDisabled(true)

    context.testCase.getTestStepByName("DeleteData").setDisabled(true)

    }

     

    And write below code in TearDown of your TestCase to again Enable those TestCases.

     

    context.testCase.getTestStepByName("DeleteData").setDisabled(false)

Hi d4vke,

 

I think in that case you need to check and uncheck some settings.Refer below screenshot:

    Hi Himanshu,

     

    Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately it does not provide a solution.

    Unchecking the "abort on error" option, keeps executing the next teststeps in the testcase, which I want to avoid. 

     

    Let's say you have 3 teststeps:

    • Add data
    • Retrieve data
    • Delete data

    If teststep add data fails, I don't want the other 2 to be executed.

      You should add a groovy script like this :

       

      Script of one of my projects where I need the same as you

       

      /*If individual exists ... else ... */

       

      def matchMessage = 'No person was found'
      def message = context.expand( '${#TestSuite#message}' )
      log.info(message)

      def createPersonStep = context.testCase.testSuite.testCases['06_createPerson'].testSteps['01_Soap_Call_createPerson']
      def getPersonIdPropertyTransferStep = context.testCase.testSuite.testCases['05_getPerson'].testSteps['05_getPersonId_Property_Transfer']


      if (message == matchMessage){
      log.info("We will create this person")
      createPersonStep.run(testRunner, context)
      }else{
      log.info("This person is already created.")
      getPersonIdPropertyTransferStep.run(testRunner, context)
      }
