Softbin numbering and softbin_size

[hfkmr]

When creating flow you can pass softbin_size per test to define the number of softbins reserved for that test. Per default, softbin_size is defined as 1, if forever reason you want to increase this size, it results in increment by 1 numbers in testids still. The function called is in allocator.rb -> next_in_range -> range_item and leads during debug sessions to the else branch.

        # Now calculate the new pointer.
        @pointer = range.index(previous_assigned_value) + 1
        # Check if the last_softbin given out is the same as the range[@pointer],
        # if so increment pointer by softbin size, default size is 1, config.softbins.size is configurable.
        # from example above, pointer was calculated as 1,range[1] is 10101 and is same as last_softbin, so pointer is incremented
        # and new value is assigned to the softbin.
        if previous_assigned_value == range[@pointer]
          @pointer += options[:size]
          assigned_value = range[@pointer]
        else
          # Because of the pointer calculations above, I don't think it will ever reach here, has not in my test cases so far!
          assigned_value = range[@pointer]
        end

I think the increment of the @pointer = range.index(previous_assigned_value) by 1 is not reflecting the softbin_size of the previous assigned softbin number correctly. Is there an easy fix or workaround for that available? Does anybody know within this community, please?
