You could add the Assertion as a child of the Test Plan; it will then be applied to all samplers. > This works fine, except for one problem.

It's very unlikely that the the text would match your error page string, so you would see something like: Assertion error: false Assertion failure: true Assertion failure message : Test failed: text not expected to contain /error/ instead. I've just done a test with JMeter 2.3.1 using "download embedded resources", and the Assertion is only applied to the parent sample. So it seems one of the primary samples is returning null. I suggest you use the Tree View Listener to examine the failing responses. The Java Request / JavaTest sampler can be used to generate null data - don't enter anything in the ResultData field. > Thanks very much in advance, > > Adrian > > ************************ > > This message has been delivered to the Internet by the Revenue Internet > e-mail service (OP) > > ************************* > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
