JMeter v2.5 on Windows
Added debug sampler, it did indeed match one only (the first item in
shopping list, top down order):
ORDERITEMIDS=7249682
ORDERITEMIDS_1=7249682
ORDERITEMIDS_matchNr=1
Attached is HTML from the HTTP sampler response of the shopping cart page
for which we extract the data. I did a text search on "removeItemLink" and
did get 3 entries for the link for 3 cart items.
I also did a test replacing XPath extractor with regex extractor and used
this pattern to do a global/multi match against:
.+class="removeItemLink".+id="(\d+)".+
granted if the HTML attribute order ever changed, it would break the regex
but wouldn't break XPath.
In the replacement, I left everything else intact, and used same variable
name for the cart items IDs. The regex version worked fine, getting all 3
cart items.
So there's no loop problem for sure. Seems to be an XPath extractor problem
here.
