groovy script step not setting custom property value when test suite is run

Hi All,

I have written a groovy script :

*************************************

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\userabc\\SOAPUi_File\\Token.json"),"UTF-8"))
def object = jsonSlurper.parse(reader)

println(object.access_token);

def testPro = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.addProperty("token")
def testPro = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue("token",object.access_token)

********************************************

Now when i run the standalone groovy step within my test suite, the token custom property gets set at the project level with value.

But when i run the test suite using the launch test runner option, the groovy step though executes doesn't add or set the "token" custom property at the project level.

I have tried to set the value at test suite level, that also doesn't work. But as i sad if the groovy step is run standalone it works.

Please help.
