fail test case using groovy but dont abort

I have a number of test cases using groovy.

I want to be able to have the test case fail but to carry on with the rest of the script.  Tried using:

testRunner.fail( "It didn't work" )

but that aborts the test case even if teh abort on error is unchecked.

Any ideas?

    How about:

    [tt:3vhomiqo]assert false : "It didn't work"[/tt:3vhomiqo]

    Thanks for the suggestion but that too causes the test case to abort

    Hi,

    Unchecking the "Abort on error" option in combination with the

    assert false

    script worked ok for me, ie the step failed but the testcase continued.

    are you using on older version?

    regards!

    Hmmm, Bob, what's about this (I use JavaScript but I sure it is easy to perform this in Groovy)?

    testStatus = true;
    .......
    if (something)
    testStatus = false;
    ........
    if not (testStatus)
    testRunner.fail()

    So I use testRunner.fail only as final lines of the code.
