gotostepbyname does not seem to work in forward progress

[krogold]

Hello,

I often use testRunner.gotoStepByName to handle conditional workflow in my project.

So far it was to loop backwards in my testcase, as I try to use it to jump forward to a next step it does not seem to work.

Here the test layout

- step to get a 'type' information :

switch (item_type)
{
	case "a":
	case "b":
		testRunner.gotoStepByName("next_step")
	break;
	default:
		log.warn "\"$item_type\" not processed"
		testRunner.gotoStepByName("last_step")
	break;
}

When I run my first groovy step it shows the warning and the jump to the last step

If I run the testCase, it shows the warning but it goes through the intermediate steps (next_step and after) !

Can anyone help me to understand what I've done wrong ?

thank you

Alex

Hey Alex,

Can you please use this code so I can understand what happens?

switch (item_type)
{
	case "a":
                break
	case "b":
		log.info("item_type equals b")
	        break
	default:  
                log.info("item_type wasn't equal to any case")
	        break
}

 What is it logged when running the test case now?

Hi @krogold,

Were you able to identify the cause of the issue?

Hi, thanks for replying ...

It is weird, it seems to work now.

I can't find out what was wrong  in my initial process ...

Anyway, it's great to hear that everything is working now!
