    You are right. The REST test step behaviour seems to be different than other types of steps.

     

    See the following code, it's rather a workaround, but it does the job.

     

    context.testCase.getTestStepList().each {
	def desc = 'New description - TEST'
	def step = it
	step.setDescription(desc)
	if (step.getDescription() != desc) {
		// here we come with REST test step
		log.info step.getName() + ":" + step.getDescription()
		step.getTestRequest().setDescription('Another description')
	}
}

Hi KarelHusa,

 

Thanks for answering (I was searching docs and didn't find setDescription, thanks for letting me know.)

 

I used below code in one of the groovy step but its only updating description of that groovy step not of all steps in that test case.

 

I will try but if you can let me know what's wrong here..

 

thanks..

The script updates all test steps belonging to the current test case. 

 

I can recommend to add logging into the loop, e.g. start with:

 

log.info step.getName()

If you get stuck, feel free to post the script and a screenshot of your test case/test steps.

    Please checkout screenshot, i have 2 test steps

    1 rest request

    1 groovy

     

    getName displays names of both steps but description is set only of groovy step not rest step.

        Thanks, description got updated for all steps of test case.

         

        I wanted to update description of only rest step types so i did following (small snippet) 

         

        context.testCase.getTestStepList().each {
	if (it instanceof com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.RestTestRequestStep){
		it.getTestRequest().setDescription('ripple')
	}
}

         Thanks for help.
