I've tried it with the ${__intSum(${pagenum},1,pagenum)} function as the parameter value in the HTTP Request, as well as a simple variable such as ${pagenum} which is incremented in the While controller condition field.

It's difficult to say what the problem is without a sample test plan,
because it depends exactly where the functions are placed.
Have you tried adding some Debug Samplers to the plan to show the values?
That might help pin things down.
Can you create a Bugzilla issue and attach the JMX file?
Redact any private info first - but make sure the plan still fails!
Or send me a copy of the JMX file privately?
Please do not send it to the list.

Need help on Access Log Sampler
Posted by Rekha_Arsi <Re...@satyam.com>.
Hi all,
Please tell me how can I use access log sampler in my test plan. what is the actual purpose of using access log sampler.
Please give me one example of implementing access log sampler in jmeter.
Thanks and Regards

Difficult to say if it is a bug without more details of the sampler settings.
The docs say "Matches are performed using protocol, host, path and
parameter names." which does not mention parameter values.
I don't know why the example uses ".*" for the value; this does not
seem to agree with the previously quoted statement.

I recently stepped into the JMeter code to find the cause of this issue I posted a while back. It turns out that since there was an HTML Link Parser in the global scope, JMeter was parsing the potential links from the previous response and selecting one of the links at random, then submitting it in lieu of my hardcoded URL + hardcoded parameter that I had on the HTTP Sampler.
Any ideas whether this is expected behavior or a bug? I would expect for this behavior to occur only if I use the .* as the parameter value, but not in my case with a hard-coded value for the URL and parameter.
