assertion after while controller with embedded http sampler?
Hi,
I'm setting up load test scenario for a web app that does HTTP meta
refresh. The user enters search criteria into a form and upon submit a
page is returned that has a refresh header, causing the browser to reload.
I'm using a while controller that has a child http sampler to poll the
refresh URL. I'm using a regex expression extractor to retrieve the
updated refresh URL from the previous sample.
Now my question: when the "refresh loop" ends and the result page is
displayed I want to add an assertion that the right page is displayed.
While I can identify the results page, I have no idea where to put the
assertion.
Any ideas?

Thanks, that's about the same method I figured out and used with success
now. I added some negated assertions on common error messages, too.
Thanks for the help,

Duh! Sorry, forgot that the last assertion would still be in scope for
the while loop sampler. I don't think it's possible to use an
Assertion directly for this.
Try adding another RE in the loop which extracts the desired text; use
a default value which is different from that.
The variable will then contain the default on exit from the while loop
if the RE failed.
To check for this, you could use either:
* a Java Sampler with ${variable} in SampleResult + child Assertion
* If Controller "${variable}" != "default" + child Test Action

Thanks, for the tip, unfortunately that doesn't work :-( I have this
right now:
Simple Controller
+ While Controller
+ Regex extractor for next refresh URL
+ Assertion (different one, checks that no error page comes up)
+ Assertion (for results page)
If I run this, the while controller ends immediately because the results
page assertion fails.

Simple Controller
+ While Controller
+ Assertion
This should limit the Assertion to the previous sampler.
