Hi list, I'm load testing a RESTful web service. One of my scenarios is a GET which receives no data, followed by a PUT to populate the web service. The GET, naturally, returns 404. However, JMeter insists on tagging this as a failed sampler, which is messing up my test stats and meaning I can't catch genuine errors in a "errors only" results tree.
How can I convince JMeter to regard 404 as a successful sample result? I tried adding a Response Assertion with config to state that "Response Code", "Contains", "404" (with "Ignore Status" ticked), but the sample still fails. I don't understand why; reading the JMeter manual makes it sound like that should work. The assertion result says Assertion error: false Assertion failure: true Assertion failure message: Test failed: code expected to equal / ****** received : 404[[[ ]]] ****** comparison: 404[[[ ]]] / Any help you can render would be gratefully received!
