The capability to abort entire test execution through groovy

I can definitely see the use in this, that if a certain condition is met to be able to automatically stop the tests. This could be a really useful feature available to trigger via groovy. 

If its groovy does it need to be a feature request or can we just come up with a solution.

There is no solution currently available even with groovy, sanj. There's no way to tap into the API of ReadyAPI itself to stop executions. In the original thread, this was confirmed with ReadyAPI engineers. :) 

groovyguy Thanks for the confirmation :)

Since that is indeed the case then agreed

Have you tried the following code:

testRunner.cancel( "I'm getting tired" )

if you want to fail it use
testRunner.fail( "It didn't work" )

Hi GillerM I'm afraid that only cancels or fails the current test case in operation and resumes with the next testcase. My desire is to abort the entire execution of ALL testcases which this does not work.

It would be nice to have this feature. But, I wonder if you could use a variable flag to tell other tests to fail. A groovy script could be used to check the flag and act on it.

Side note - The java library TestNG has Assert.fail() which allows you to do this. Unfortunately, you'll have to write all tests in programming language.
