Custom assertion message

[Marcelo Jara <ma...@hotmail.com>]

I am trying to log some custom error messages so that I know exactly why something failed. For example, if I try to log in to an application, it mail fail for many reasons. I have a Response Assertion that checks for an error message. This works fine. But now I also want to log what the username and password caused the error since the test plan picks from a large data set. 
I've tried added a BeanShell Assertion on top of the Response Assertion, but the value of SampleResult is always false. 
Is there a way to act upon the Response Assertion and log a custom error message if the Response Assertion fails?

You can add an If Controller after the relevant Sampler and put the
following condition:
"${JMeterThread.last_sample_ok}" == "false"

Then you can have a BeanShell Sampler to log out whatever you want, like:
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream("log.txt", true));
out.write((vars.get("username") + "," + vars.get("password") +
"\n").getBytes());
out.flush();
out.close();

Another option is to add a Simple Data Writer listener to log all info
(i.e. request and response headers/data) on failing samples (only) into a
file, then you can analyze the results by opening this file in a View
Results Tree listener.
