Setting Properties off of groovy assertion script

I am trying to set a test case level property off of a groovy script assertion and I keep getting null pointer errors. I assume the way to do it is as follows:
context.testRunner.testCase.getProperty("someProperty").setValue("somevalue")


Am I doing something wrong here?

    Hello!

    context.testRunner is null in script assertions. Try this instead:

    messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.setPropertyValue( "My property", "The new value" )

    Regards!

    Good thing you asked this -- I've now added it to the soapUI Tips & Tricks page.

      Can you use

       

       messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.setPropertyValue( "My property", "The new value" )

       to get properties back to next request and next assertion of the response?

        Script assertions can also access property step properties through the messageExchange object:

        def var = messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.getTestStepByName("propertyStepName").getPropertyValue("propertyName")
        messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.getTestStepByName("propertyStepName").setPropertyValue("propertyName", propNameNewValued)

         

        It would be good to add this to the "Tips & Tricks" page too.
