'Start Step' gets ignored [RESOLVED]

Our soapUI does seem to ignore the 'Start Step' property of mockresponse steps.

How to reproduce: take a soapUIPro 4.0.0 or 4.0.1
make a testcase, add (e.g.) a request
after the request add a delay (say 3sec)
after the request add a mockresponse and set its start step property to the request step.

in the soapUI log you will see that the mockservice for the mockresponse gets started after the delay, not before.

in 4.0.0 this usually broke our tests of asynchronous services, as the response was already gone when the mockResponse started triggering
(we had to add a delay on the asynchronous service as workaround). In 4.0.1 it seems to work, but i'm not sure if soapUI queues the requests or we are just lucky.

Best regards,
Pat

    Hi Pat,

    there are a number of Start-Step related fixes in the 4.5-beta1 and the 4.0.2-SNAPSHOT nightly build (at http://wwe.eviware.com/nightly-builds) - have you tried either of them?

    Also, could you share with us the exact messages you are getting upon startup of the MockService/MockResponseTestStep?

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    We have done fixes related to this in the latest nightly build, as well as 4.5.0 beta 1. Would it be possible for you to try one of those?
