Using assertions is a good idea, however some instances of the report executions will not throw up an Executing Query response and are still valid.
What I've done is place a __regex function in the while controller:
${__regexFunction(title>(Executing Query),true,1,,false,)}The issue that I'm now having with this is when it doesn't match, the loop still executes once. I take it this remains from the implementation you mentioned in October? (http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgId=1917811)
Thanks :) Kim

Hi all,
I am setting up a testplan that executes reports by sending http requests. Some of these requests take a few minutes to execute so I've added a while loop and a cookie manager to continually access the state of a query within any one session. The while loop checks the html being returned - if the title is "Executing Query" (extracted from the server response) then it continues until the correct title is returned (the report has finished executing).
This is the basic setup:
Thread Group
HTTP Cookie Manager
Simple Controller
Http Request
Regular Expression (Reference name: Title; Regular
Expression: <title>(.*)</title>)
While Controller ("${title}" == "Executing Query")
This is not a valid condition. [I'm assuming you are using version 2.0.2. An earlier nightly build did assume the condition was javascript, but this is no longer the case - see the docs.]
The while controller requires one of the following: - blank - LAST - function/variable
Http Request
How is the value of the "title" variable going to get updated?
The While loop seems to execute regardless however I've tried placing
Yes, because it is not "false"
the same conditions in an If loop and it works fine. I've also tried
The If controller assumes JavaScript.
placing "Executing Query" in a user defined variable (named
Executing_Query) but the behaviour is still the same. Even when placing
2!=2 or "${Executing_Query}" != "${Executing_Query}", still the loop
executes! The title is being extracted correctly so I've run out of ideas.
This is because the condition is not being evaluated as "false".
Am I going about this incorrectly?
Yes, see above!
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
It would be easier to set the condition to blank, and add an assertion for the nested HTTP Request that fails when the title is NOT "Executing Query" - i.e. move the Regex into the loop, and set the NOT checkbox.
