An Assertion doesn't make sense unless there is a sample result to which it can apply. > You still can use "If" controller to make some custom check on your variable > value, and do always-failing-assertion sample inside it. Use Test Action to create an always failing sample. As already noted, it's probably simpler to use a Java Request/JavaTest to create a sample with the contents of the variable, and then apply the Assertion(s) to that. However in a future release it should be possible to allow some Assertions to apply to a variable, rather than the content of the sample result. > > С уважением, > Андрей Похилько > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Levine [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 11:50 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: How to use XPath Assertion on a substring of the sampler response? > > Hi, > > > I've got a situation where my WebService (SOAP) Request is returning a > string which happens to be a nested XML document with its own schema.
