    Hi again,

     

    I think you wanted to also show red/green icons in the Test Case editor for the SOAP test steps. So I was researching the source code, but it's next to impossible without Assertions on the SOAP test step. In the SoapUI source code, the icon displayed is calculated from the Assertions with every update.

     

    You can change the status of the test result, and that will display red in your Test Case Log, with an optional message.
     

    import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestStepResult.TestStepStatus

def myStep = context.testCase.getTestStepByName("Test Request 1")
def myResult = testRunner.results.find { it.testStep.is(myStep) }
myResult.setStatus ( TestStepStatus.FAILED )
myResult.addMessage("Failed coz I said so.")

    But I don't recommend modifying statuses in this way. It's best to let SoapUI do that sort of stuff itself, because we're bound to miss things doing it manually. For a ready example, the overall test still shows as OK, even when we mark the test as failed (project attached). We would need to make the Groovy script step mark the TestCase as failed also. And so on...

You can put assertions in your Groovy Script.

 

The Groovy script will always pass as long as it doesn't throw any Exceptions. When an assertion is not true, you get an AssertionException thrown. And you'll even get a nice Groovy assertion details in your log on a failure. But it works best if you display the log in a fixed width font.

 

String myResponse = context.testCase.getTestStepByName("Test Request 1")
 .testRequest.response.responseContent

// should fail
assert myResponse?.contains("123")

 

ERROR:Assertion failed: 

assert myResponse?.contains("123")
       |           |
       abc         false

Example project attached.
