Comparing 2 variables and failing asserion on failure

[Garry Thompson <gt...@attensa.com>]

I have a need to compare 2 variables and if they are not the same to 
generate an assertion failure. My first thought was to look for an 
assertion that did this but as I understand it assertions only work on 
sampler output so no luck here.

I then though of using the If Controller to compare the 2 variables and 
then if they didn't compare to generate an assertion failure. But there 
doesn't seem to be a way to abritarily generate an assertion failure. So 
I then decided to try the size assertion setting it to 1 which should 
pretty much always fail. But this assertion never seems to kick off. It 
looks like by putting an asserion in an if controller the connection to 
the sampler is lost and the assertion doesn't ever fail. I tried putting 
the if conroller at the same level as the last sampler as well as a 
child. Neither of these work. This seems to be a scoping problem to me.

So is there any easy way to compare 2 variables and then fail an 
asserion if they don't compare? I may be missing some much easier method 
of doing this.

Thanks....

You could use the BeanShell assertion for this.
