[SOLVED]Teststep dependencies

Hi,

I have a testcase with the following steps:

1. SOAP request: sends a guid to a loginscript and receives an encrypted sessionid
2. Groovy script: decrypts the sessionid and returns it
3. SOAP request: grabs the return value of the Groovy script and uses it as a parameter:

${DecryptSID#result}


This works well when I run it from TestRunner, but when I create a loadtest from these steps, the Groovy script fails, seemingly because it wasn't able to grab the response from the first SOAP request, which is done this way:

context.expand( '${Login#Response#//ns2:LoginResponse[1]/SessionId[1]}' )


Is there a way to set dependencies between the teststeps, so that step 2 waits for the response from step 1 before it starts? Or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers!

    Hm, "File > Preferences > UI Settings > Do not disable Groovy Log", and I still get "INFO:Disabling logs during loadtests", even after a restart. Known issue?

    Update: nevermind this, the script log was still updated...

    Exactly what error are you getting? Any info in any of the logs? Can you attach a screenshot?

    regards!

    Well, the problem happens when this Groovy-script runs from the loadtest (works when running from TestRunner):
    def encryptedSessionId = context.expand( '${Login#Response#//ns2:LoginResponse[1]/SessionId[1]}' )
    def userPrivateKey = context.expand( '${#TestCase#userPrivateKey}' )
    def userPassword = context.expand( '${#TestCase#userPassword}' )

    log.info("eSID: " + encryptedSessionId)

    log.info("Base64 decode")
    byte[] privateKeyEncrypted = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(userPrivateKey)

    log.info("pKEY: " + privateKeyEncrypted)

    log.info("Decrypt private key")
    byte[] decryptedPrivateKey = CryptoUtil.decrypt(privateKeyEncrypted, userPassword)


    The script is longer than that, but that last line is the one that fails. The exception is:

    Caused by: java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size

    Could the loadtest be running under a different JRE from when running with TestRunner? We have explicitly installed "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6", perhaps these need to be included elsewhere too?

    That was indeed the problem, adding the correct local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar to %JAVA_PATH%/lib/security did the trick.

    Thanks for helping, much appreciated, sorry I bothered you
