Using GotoStepbyname from Event TestRunListener.afterStep

I am trying to use conditional go to from TestRunListener.afterStep but control is not transfered to respective step.Same stament in test case groovy works.i think i am missing somehting with variabales

i see this event is invoked with testrunner,context,testStepResult,log variables.

Intention is to write the logs in db if scenario fails.

testRunner.gotoStepByName("Step1")

                                             or 

context.getTestRunner().gotoStepByName("Step1")
