Need help - SoapUi testRunner.getStatus() is returning the status as "RUNNING" indefinitely

Question

In SoapUI after executing a soap request test step (which is under a test suite -> test case) through testRunner.runTestStepByName("Soap Request Name")

and waiting for 10 seconds after that soap request execution testRunner.getStatus() is returning RUNNING status . below is the groovy script (which is under same test suite -> test case)

import groovy.sql.Sql;
import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestRunner.Status

testRunner.runTestStepByName("GetCitiesByCountry - Request 1")
sleep(10000)
log.info( "...${testRunner.getStatus()}...")

while ( testRunner.getStatus() == Status.RUNNING ) {
    log.info(testRunner.getStatus())
}

the output is below

Wed Apr 17 21:06:22 IST 2013:INFO:RUNNING
Wed Apr 17 21:06:22 IST 2013:INFO:RUNNING
Wed Apr 17 21:06:22 IST 2013:INFO:RUNNING
Wed Apr 17 21:06:22 IST 2013:INFO:RUNNING
Wed Apr 17 21:06:22 IST 2013:INFO:RUNNING
Wed Apr 17 21:06:22 IST 2013:INFO:RUNNING
.
.
continuing for infinite time...

Ideally it should return FINISHED since the above test step is executed ,

Advanced thanks for any help to this

Solution

It sounds logical, as long as you are in the loop, the test is 'running'. You can get the status with this:

import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestStepResult.TestStepStatus
myTestStepResult = testRunner.runTestStepByName("GetCitiesByCountry - Request 1")
myStatus = myTestStepResult.getStatus()
if (myStatus == TestStepStatus.OK)
log.info "The step status is: " + myStatus.toString()
else
log.error "The step status is: " + myStatus.toString()

Also, as the call to runTestStepByName is synchronous, there is no 'running' status, only 'CANCELED', 'FAILED', 'OK' or 'UNKNOWN'.

thanks @gaelperret ... but with above code the soapui showing the i value is 0 .. so for testRunner.results[i-1].status.... its giving "Array Index outof bound Exception:negative array index[-1]..." . so still get stuck with the same issue .

@uday035, you are right, the above code works only if the step you run with 'runTestStepByName' is right before the current step. I corrected my answer.

@gaelperret, according to the latest documentation there is no property TestStepStatus.CANCEL, only TestStepStatus.CANCELED
