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.
