Rerun a test step max 3 times in case of 401 and then abort

I have say 10 REST test steps. The first step generates the authorization Id. Any any point in the test run if the service response status is "401:Unauthorized" I need to rerun the first step  , rege...

I have used the code flow you mentioned , but my problem is when I throw the error after 3rd attempt, nothing happens.The assertion should fail and test run should stop. But ,the assertion is marked OK and  the runner just moves on to the next step

    if(tokenCountValue<=3){
    messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.getTestStepByName("fetchAuthId").run(context.getTestRunner(),context)
    }
    else{
    context.getTestRunner().fail("Service Failed with 401 Authorizarion Error")

    //throw new Error ("Service Failed with 401 Authorizarion Error")

     }

     

    Neither of the error  methods work

      But you can't directly tell 401 error. Instead it has to read from the fetchAuthId test step response headers, Isn't it?

        fetchAuthId will simply give me an authId. I need to use this authId in a different test step . If this other test step status is 401 I need to go back to fetchAuthId  and generate a new authId and run the other test step again. I should be able to re run fetchAuthId  only thrice after which I must fail this other test step and the test run also

        I check the status in the other test step as :

         

        def status = messageExchange.getResponseStatusCode();
        if(status == 401){
        tokenCountValue = tokenCountValue+1;
        if(tokenCountValue<=3){
        messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.getTestStepByName("GetToken").run(context.getTestRunner(),context)
        }
        else{
        context.getTestRunner().fail("${name} Service Failed with 401 Authorizarion Error")
        }
