How to run testcase and testsuite using Groovy in soapui?

Question

i have some projects in soapui. i want to execute testsuites and testcases of these projects. i tried with this groovy code:

//get test case from other project or from the same one
project = testRunner.getTestCase().getTestSuite().getProject().getWorkspace().getProjectByName("Project1")
testSuite = project.getTestSuiteByName("TestSuite 1 - Login");
testCase = testSuite.getTestCaseByName("TestCase 1-Login");
Thread.sleep(3000)
testSuite2 = project.getTestSuiteByName("TestSuite3 - Report");
testCase2 = testSuite.getTestCaseByName("TestCase1 - Report");

// run test case
runner = testCase.run(new com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToObjectMap(), false);
Thread.sleep(3000)
runner2 = testCase2.run(new com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToObjectMap(), false);

When i run this groovy code, i have the following error message: java.lang.NullPointer.Exception cannot invoke method run() on null object for the last line

runner2 = testCase2.run(new com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToObjectMap(), false);

If i remove the last line it's working well.

Any help please. Thank you

Solution

I know this is super late to answer this question, but i will answer this so that it can help help seeking for help.

instead of Thread.sleep(3000), just use:

runner.waitUntilFinished()

Now it will wait until execution of step 1 get finished. Then it will start executing Step 2.
