Super Context and expectation of failure [message #1780105]

Hi all,

I've just started using RCPTT and I've come across a situation I can't find a solution to - looking for help :)

Basically, I have built a test that works fine with my app - briefly, it takes some credentials and calls a web service to get some other information back.

I'd like to run the same test with correct and incorrect credentials, and expect the second run to cause an error. I've set up a super context with two sets of parameters; the correct parameters work fine, but I can't figure out how to tell the test to expect the second set of parameters to fail.

I guess it would be possible to duplicate the test and modify the second copy to check for the failure, but that just feels wrong somehow, I now have two places to maintain essentially the same code.

Is there a way to do this? I had a look through the docs but I couldn't find anything.

Cheers,
KEv.

Hi Kev,

Try to put different code parts for credentials check-up into two identically named procedures and put each procedure into a new 'ecl script' context.
Then create two group contexts: one for valid credentials case and one for invalid credentials case. Each group context should contain 'parameters' context and 'ecl script' context.
Add a call fo the procedure into the main test. Replace super parameters context with super group context and run the text. Each instance of the test will call its own procedure implementation.
Hope it helps!
