Agreed, it would be useful to have a status variable for the previous request.
However, there are several possibilities for this - maybe there need
to be several variables.
Result code - e.g. 200, 404 etc for HTTP
Success/Fail
There is another flag for samplers (can't remember the name off-hand;
I think it's only for internal errors).
Also, how should Assertion Failures be treated?
At present, an Assertion can change the success/fail status of a sample result.
If there is only a single variable, should it be set from the original
sample status, or should it track the output from Assertions?
All this is doable, but would be harder than adding the equivalent of
LAST to the If Controller - as well as making the If Controller harder
to code, as one would need to express the comparison in JavaScript.
So it might be better to start with adding some keyword conditions to
the If Controller. e.g. if the string starts with ?, then treat it as
a special condition, not JavaScript.
For example:
?SUCCESS
?FAIL
?CODE=
This would be easier than coding
"${STATUS}" == "SUCCESS"
or whatever.
In the longer term, adding variables/functions to get the information
would be more flexible.
