If Controller working in wondrous ways (or not)
Hi all,
So I've been fighting the If Controller for the last days (Ubuntu 64 bit,
Java 1.7 64bit, JMeter 2.11). I have to queries that basically simulate an
If...then...Else.
${QuoteRequestId} is populated by a regexp from the previous call.
1) If Controller: ${QuoteRequestID_matchNr} > 0
Do some steps.
2) If Controller: ${QuoteRequestID_matchNr} < 1
Do some steps.
Both have no ticks in Variable Expression and Evaluate for all children. 1)
works and 2) doesn't. Nothing I tried with 2) worked. Testing for other
stuff, using javascript, jexl,...
What is going on? This is not the only time I've had this. IF Controller
seems to work only sporadically.
Cheers
Oliver

Hi,
@Philippe: The jmeter.log shows nothing (i.e. no error). I'll switch it to
DEBUG level and see what happens. The Debug Sampler always shows the
correct values for the variable. I'll need to have a think how I can
simulate this in a simple script to share here.
@Shmuel: Yes, been there done that. I tried both, string and integer
comparisons...
Cheers Oliver

Sounds like it does a string comparison...
You should probably follow Philippe's suggestions to troubleshoot.

Greater than 0 covers it.

I think I got your point Deepak but still the condition greater than 0 do step 1 and less than 1 do step 2.<br/><br/>So if we get value as 1 where will flow go step 1 or step 2?<br/><br/>I think issue is with loop and in whatever case I feel it will not go step 2 cos any positive value will satisfy step 1 since they will be greater than 0.<br/><br/><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com?.src=iOS"><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a>

Did you put you debug sampler just before the if controller that should be
used ?
Are you sure there is no space or something that fails conversion ?
Is the if Within an include controller ?
Put if controller in DEBUG mode and see if it helps.

Oliver I think you have unreachable ecode. See this first condition is greater than zero and second condition is less than 1. So if you have value btw 0 and 1 , it will never go to second loop and probably that's what you are seeing. <br/><br/>Do you know what's the value of variable<a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com?.src=iOS"><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a>

Hi Pjilippe,
I tried all of yesterday to produce a simple script, where this occurs but
failed. It seems to be a certain constellation of things. So it's going to
take me a while to reproduce. Can't share the original script as that needs
a special network set-up and is probably too large with a big script with
about 25 include controllers. :-(

Hello,
Did you check jmeter.log for errors ?
Could you create a simple test plan using debug sampler to show issue if it
is?
Try displaying with debug sampler the value of ${QuoteRequestID_matchNr}
before IfController.
