Regex post-processor and If controller

[COGOLUEGNES Arnaud <AC...@aston.fr>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to do the following in a web application test plan:
retrieve object ids from a list in HTML code with a regex post-processor and
re-inject a random id in the next request. It works perfectly except that
sometimes the list in the first request is empty so no id can be retrieved.
I tried to handle the next request with a If controller (execute the request
only if the id is different from the regex extractor default value) but it
seems the condition cannot retrieve the variable. I put this code in the if
condition (-1 is the default value):

${id} != -1 

but the request is always executed, even when no id has been retrieved. Is
the Javascript condition wrong? I was also wondering if there was a scope
issue, that is the variable set by the regex extractor was not accessible
from the IF controller.

Any help is welcome.

Regards,

Arno

Perhaps try

'${id}' != '-1'

Otherwise, change the RE so that it does not match empty list items.
