Setting up a Conditional GoTo step for Failed Connection response

[tclotworthy]

Hello,

I have a test scenario where I intentionally fail a primary webserver to ensure that requests properly fail over to the backup. When I run my scenario now in soapui and look at the test step report output, the failure conditions are always:

org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to 192.168.0.99 failed: Connection refused

I want to set up a conditional goto that will repeat the test step until the new connection is established and a valid response is returned. The challenge is the soapui conditional goto requires an xpath expression that must be evaluated in order to make the goto decision, and I cannot figure out what would be the appropriate expression. 

I would be grateful for any help in this matter. Thank you.

Hi Tclotworthy,

You can get the error from your response. So, when creating a Conditional GoTo test step, select Get Data to get it.
