Hi folks,

Nevermind, I figured out the correct syntax

${__javaScript("${prep}"!=3D"OKOK")}

This worked.

Thank you

Charles

Subject: problem exiting WHILE loop

Hi,

I have following setup:


Define variable 'prep', set to initial value 'Preparing'


While Loop (condition checks if 'prep' !=3D 'OKOK')
                Counter, variable =3D loop, increment by 1
                Debug showing Loop ${loop} status =3D ${prep}
                Submit HTTP Request      =3D =3D > response contains either=
 'Preparing' which =3D not ready, or 'OKOK' which means file has been prepa=
red and is ready for downloading
                RegEx extract, Reference Name =3D prep, expression search f=
or (Preparing), Default Value =3D 'OKOK'
                Timer wait 2 sec


View Result shows that I have correct values of prep (either 'Preparing' or=
 'OKOK'), but the conditional check of WHILE loop does not appear to take p=
lace, so test does not exist out of the WHILE loop (and HTTP request contin=
ue to be resubmitted) when it should exist.


View Result Tree output looks like this:

D: Before Wait Loop
D: Loop # 1 status =3D Preparing
http request
D: Loop # 2 status =3D OKOK
http request
D: Loop # 3 status =3D OKOK
http request
D: Loop # 4 status =3D OKOK
......
...... repeating of above pattern


Can you please advise what is the proper syntax to use to accomplish the go=
al of evaluating ${prep} !=3D 'OKOK'  to FALSE so that it can exist the loo=
p?

Thanks
Charles
