It's not a bad idea, it's just a little tricky. For instance, you wouldn't want to do it for all assertions and post-processors because it's not always appropriate. Ideally, I think we've decided we want the assertions and post- processors to be smarter and to know abou the possibility of sub-results so they can check them too.
For your need, look directly at org.apache.jmeter.assertions.ResponseAssertion and note that it accepts a SampleResult object as an argument. That SampleResult could have sub results in it that the response assertion should check. If any sub result results in a true result, the whole results should be returned as true. -Mike On 14 Aug 2003 at 16:35, Tolley Shorn wrote: > Folks, > > I need this kind of functionality too. > I put the assertion on a HTTP sample, then turn on "Follow Redirects" and JMeter follows the redirect fine, but JMeter applies the assertion to the original 302 response instead of the redirect follow-up GET response. > > Would it be hard to alter the HTTPSample class to implement this behaviour (apply child components to the follow-up request if "follow redirects" is on)? > If I did implement this - would it be accepted as a contibution or does no- one else want this behaviour from JMeter? > > Or is there a reason this kind of thing is a bad idea? > > Cheers, > Shorn. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > List: jmeter-user > Subject: Response assertion against a 302 on HTTP Request > From: Nick Faiz <nick.faiz () ce ! com ! au> > Date: 2003-07-31 1:46:09 > > Hi, > I want to make a response assertion against the response of the 302 > that my HTTP Request gives.
