Groovy Test Step not running while integrated into Jenkins.

I developed my test suites on Windows Ready API! 1.4.1 and use SVN to place those test suites in a repository. I configured the pom.xml so that the test suite is running but there are Groovy Test Ste...

    I mean try with the changes as modifed in below script (earlier suggested to use context in place of testRunner, not sure though why Jenkins unable to determine context while soapUI can work fine)

     

    //Get existing value
def count = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value as int
//Set the next value and put it back to project property
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value = (count+1).toString()

Would you mind posting the script that is not behaving as anticipated. Also it would help if you can provide details about the sequence of steps involved in the test case.

    OK, here is the groovy test step:

     

    def createAccountCount = context.expand( '${#Project#createAccountCount}' );
log.info("The current createAccountCount = " + createAccountCount + "\nWill be incremented.");
return ++createAccountCount;

    Once the variable createAccountCount is incremented, it is transferred back to the Project property "createAccountCount" and used to create a new account user name in a POST to a service.

      • You do not need to have return in groovy script
      • Instead, need to set it back, so that updated value can be used later.
      • I believe, this should never worked, not just in jenkins like you mentioned.

      Modified script for the requested.

      //Get existing value
def count = context.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value as int
//Set the next value and put it back to project property
context.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value = (count+1).toString()

        OK, Thank you. I see how that was much better than what I was doing. But after placing that in a Jenkins environment, it still doesn't increment that property from the groovy script.
