if controllers not working?

[JE...@mb.bluecross.ca]

I am having a problem with a test containing if controllers.

I use the Regular Expression Extractor to test a response and set a 
variable to "good" or "bad".

I then use an if controller to control execution of subsequent tests. My 
condition looks like:

'${foo}' == 'good' (thanks, sebb!)

This works correctly on the first pass, but after one request sets ${foo} 
to "bad", the if controllers evaluate to false for *every* subsequent 
request, The Regular Expression Extractor continues to return new, correct 
values each time.

I have tried different ways of expressing the if condition, but have had 
pretty much the same result every time. Some forms I have tried are:

${foo} == good

$foo == good

${foo} == 'good'

${foo} == "good"

and every permutation of these forms.

Does anyone know how to make these things work?

I found a similar problem - it looked like the If Controller was not
resolving its condition on every invocation.

If you are using a recent version of JMeter, that has a __log()
function which logs its parameter and returns it, so you could try

${__log('${foo}' == 'good' )}

and see what happens.
