Can number of regular expression matches be tested ?
Dear JMeter Users:
Is there a way to test the number of matches extracted by a Regular Expression Extractor element?
The following code works. Unfortunately, it ALWAYS works. I used a regular expression tester to make sure that the target string occurs 4 times in the HTTP response text. If I understand the manual, when the condition in the If Controller evaluates to false, the test plan should stop. So specifying the wrong number of matches in the condition should stop the test plan. But it does not.
HTTP Request
Regular Expression Extractor element
Reference Name: Matches
Regular Expression: string
Template: $1$
Match No: 1
Default Value: NoMatches
If Controller element
Condition: Matches_matchNr == 4
Sincerely yours,
Kyle

Yes, the xxx_matchNr variable

The If controller only controls whether or not its children are
invoked. It does not stop a test, nor does it set the status of the
sampler to failed.
If you can work out the appropriate regex, you could use the Regex
Assertion to mark the sample as failed, and cause the test to stop
that way.

This means to invoke any child samples of the If controller
