Hi John and Edinson,
You two are right. After the failed assertion, my code never reached "continue".
After I added try and catch for the assertion, continue worked. (please see
code below)
However, the main Test Case appeared to be Passed after I catch this assertion
error for this xml test step. I was going to show the assertion error and error
logging in the Test Case.
if (startIndexDecision < 0){
log.info('Check Decision Code Failed because Pathway data does not contain
Decision Code: '+decisionCode)
try {assert startIndexDecision >= 0, "Failed because "+decisionCode+" is not
found in Pathway data, thus index is less than 0"}
catch (AssertionError e){
log.error("assertion error")
continue }
}

fails
I could be very wrong but I think that the problem is a logical one. If an
assertion doesn't hold (if it fails), an exception will be thrown and the rest
of the code won't be executed.

I'm using Soap UI and Groovy Script to go through a xml response with many
Decision elements.
My Groovy Script refers to a DataSource 'Decision Exclusion List
RMA/2010/33789' for a list of exlusion text to search for in the xml response.
I search for each DecisionCode read from the DataSource, then extract the xml
lines for this DecisionCode element, then look for the exlusion text within
them.
If the DecisionCode can not be found within the xml text, then I assert a
failure, and continue the loop.
However, the test does not continue. It stops after the failed assertion.
Is that because "continue" does not work from within if { } ?
Thanks,
Lea
Please see my code below:
--------------------------------------------------
//(singleConsentString contains the xml text to search through)
def exlusionList = testRunner.testCase.testSteps['Decision Exclusion List
RMA/2010/33789'] // refer to another DataSource test step to get a list of
exlusion text
def counter = 0
while(exlusionList.next(testRunner,context)){
counter ++
log.info<http://log.info>("counter for decision exlusion list: " +
counter)
decisionCode = exlusionList.getPropertyValue('PathwayDecisionCode')
decisionDescription =
exlusionList.getPropertyValue('PathwayDecisionDescription')
// search for the DecisionCode in xml text
int startIndexDecision =
singleConsentString.indexOf('<a:DecisionCode>'+decisionCode+'</a:DecisionCode>')
log.info<http://log.info>('logging start index of Decision: ' +
startIndexDecision)
// if DecisionCode is not found, assert a failure, and continue the
loop;
if (startIndexDecision < 0){
log.info<http://log.info>('Check Decision Code Failed because
Pathway data does not contain Decision Code: '+decisionCode)
assert startIndexDecision >= 0, "Failed because
"+decisionCode+" is not found in Pathway data, thus index is less than 0"
continue // this does not work
}
// if DecisionCode is found, then extract the xml lines for this
DecisionCode, and check for DecisionDescription as well.
else {
String subStringDecision =
singleConsentString.substring(startIndexDecision)
int endIndexDecision =
subStringDecision.indexOf('</a:DecisionEntity>')
singleDecisionString =
subStringDecision.substring(0,endIndexDecision)
log.info<http://log.info>('logging singe decision: '+
singleDecisionString)
assert singleDecisionString.contains(decisionCode)&&
singleConsentString.contains(decisionDescription)
}
}
