IF controller questions

[Bo Bodnar <bb...@us.ibm.com>]

It's been a while since I messed with the IF controller, I can't find the
scripts I created a few years ago, so here goes:

I'm creating a script where I want the user to pass a parameter which turns
on or off an IF controller.  The IF controller only has a Simple Data
Writer.  To wit:

jmeter -n -t FILE.jmx -JRecordError=1 etc, etc where if RecordError = 0 the
IF portion is skipped and if it is 1 that portion is not skipped.  The
parameter is referenced in a User Defined Variables page as follows:  ${__P
(RecordError, 0)} and in the IF controller the condition is ${RecordError}
== 1 (and all checkboxes are unchecked).

I've deliberately introduced errors (e.g., writing to a file that cannot be
written to and the Simple Data Writer creates the log file, but the file is
empty (this is regardless of whether RecordError is 0 or 1).  I do not want
this file created if RecordError=0.

This isn't rocket science but, for the life of me, I can't figure out what
I'm doing incorrectly.

Thank you for your time.

Bo

Have you run with a debug sampler just before the if controller to ensure RecordError is in fact 0 when expected? If running headless, add a xml listener to capture the output.

Your logic is sound in the script something else must be getting in the way. Are you always passing -JRecordError=1 in your parameters if so have you got something that will overwrite it if no error is found?
