Event handler is not triggered when running a REST test step from a Groovy step.

Question

Hello, I have created a eventhandler i.e., TestRunListener.afterStep and configured to run only after REST test step. Purpose of this eventhandler is to collect some test output data such as URL, response time, execution date, HTTP Status code etc and record into a test database.

TestCase step up:

RESTTestStep1 (GET)

Groovy

RESTTestStep2 (POST)

The response from Rest TestStep 1 is consumed/parsed/built by Groovy teststep and used as a JSON payload by REST TestStep 2. JSON payload is unique and changes based on some criteria and it needs to be iterated N number of times. In order to post these JSON payloads, I am calling REST step 2 in side groovy using - testRunner.runTestStepByName(RESTTestStep2) // Execute RestStep Here //

Problem: Since my groovy script is calling/executing a REST test step, Event handler is not recording the result after REST step 2 is being executed.

My understanding was that irrespective of calling method REST step 2 is being executed and Event handler should be triggered. But it looks like event handler treats my execution as a Groovy step not a REST step.

Is there any way to handle this or make this work?

Thanks in advance.

Please post the script that is used in Event Handler.

Hi Rao, please note that below script works for all other testcases where REST teststep is executed independently. Issue is when REST step is executed from a groovy step.

Was it a groovy script step? or script from Event handler? If not please provide the same.

This is EventHandler script.&nbsp;Groovy Step script is:import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolderimport net.sf.*import net.sf.json.*import net.sf.json.groovy.*import groovy.json.JsonSlurperimport groovy.json.JsonBuilder//## Get test step name //def currentStepInd = context.currentStepIndexdef testStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepAt(currentStepInd).namedef TestStepName = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepAt(currentStepInd - 1).namedef RESTTestStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepAt(currentStepInd + 1).namelog.info "Running $testStep..."log.info "------------------------------------------------"log.info "Collect TestData from Testsuite Properties..."def USER = context.expand('${#TestSuite#USER}')//Parse JSON responselog.info "Parsing JSON response from $TestStepName..."def SECNO = []def JsonPayloaddef i = 0def response = context.expand('${'+TestStepName+'#Response}')def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText responsejson.each{SECNO += it.SecurityNumberJsonPayload = iti++}//##Update JSON Nodes ##//def j = 0def jsonbuilder = new JsonBuilder(JsonPayload)SECNO.each{//Update JSON nodes//jsonbuilder.content.SecurityNumber = SECNO[j]jsonbuilder.content.UpdatedByUser = USER//##Update TestCase Property to contain parsed json ##//testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("SECNO", SECNO[j])testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("JSONPayload", "${jsonbuilder}")log.info "Updating JSON payload to TestCase property: JSONPayload"log.info "JSON Payload is : " + context.expand('${#TestCase#JSONPayload}')log.info "------------------------------------------------"log.info "------------------------------------------------"testRunner.runTestStepByName(RESTTestStep) // Execute RestStep Here //j++}log.info "Finished $testStep..."log.info "------------------------------------------------"&nbsp;

This is lot of code, can you precisely explain what it is intended to do?
