I have the following element on an HTML page:
<option value="52">Engine Specialist</option>
I have a regular expression extractor giving me a variable named SpecialistInfo:
<option value="(\d+)">(.+?)<\/option>
JMeter gives me a match and I can access the matched values using the "group notation" syntax: SpecialistInfo_g1 and SpecialistInfo_g2
In a subsequent test I have a response assertion with a pattern of ${SpecialistInfo_g2} and I'm tyring to match against the following: "This person is an Engine Specialist"
This understandably fails with an assertion error: Assertion failure message:Test failed: text expected to contain /Engine Specialist/
I have tried using a matching pattern of: ${__unescapeHtml(${SpecialistInfo_g2})} which seems to replace the entity with a space but the match still fails.
The assertion error JMeter gives me is Assertion failure message:Test failed: text expected to contain /Engine Specialist/
Does anyone have suggestions on what to try?
My expectation is that __unescapeHtml() function produces something weird and not the space and hence your assertion fails.
Try using the following __groovy() function instead:
${__groovy(vars.get('SpecialistInfo_g2').replace(' '\, '\u0020'),)}
This will guaranteed return "normal" space separator hence your assertion should start working normally

I have a response assertion validating the 'Document (text)' of a response.
This is the assertion
This is the failure
This is the response that the assertion is checking. As you can see I have directly copied 'Statutory Currency USD Total Tax (SC) 58.80' from the failing assertion and it is found in the response?!
Other assertions are passing for this request.
Notice you can (maybe should) switch to using Substring instead of Contains which will fix your issue, because it doesn't use regex which have reserved characters as (
Contains - true if the text contains the regular expression pattern
Substring - true if the text contains the pattern string (case-sensitive)
Turns out the '(' and ')' needed to be escaped using a '\'.
You’re using document instead of Text response in Fields to test.
Document is usually reserved to asserting on pdf, excel, word document. it has an important cost in terms of performance and is not needed when asserting on text (html, json...)
Also you should favor substring instead of contains.
On running jmeter script, I am getting Response code as []
How do I perform assert?
I tried Text response contains [] still jmeter could not pass and I got below message
Assertion failure message: Bad test configuration org.apache.oro.text.MalformedCachePatternException: Invalid expression: []
Unmatched [] in expression.
It looks like you're using Response Assertion in "Contains" or "Matches" mode.
According to How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps guide:
The Pattern can be either be:
a “string” for “Equals” or “Substring” clauses
a “Perl5-style” Regular Expression for “Contains” or “Matches” clauses
So you need to:
either switch to "Equals" or "Substring" Pattern matching rule and keep your pattern as []
or if you using "Contains" or "Matches" rule - you need to remember that square brackets are special meta characters which represent character classes so they need to be escaped by forward slash like \[\]
Assert given value:
"action":"GET /api/invoice_status","description":"[NO_AUTH] get
invoice statuses"
Assertion failure message:
Test failed: text expected to contain /"action":"GET
/api/invoice_status","description":"[NO_AUTH] get invoice statuses"/
It is adding / slashes just to represent properly but it's not an issue. Cross verify your response after running the script, there might be some difference in the response and the text which you are passing in assertion. Also, there is no need to pass complete response in assertion, just pass some important text like success, passed (if present in response) or any other text available in your response and click on contains radio button inside Response assertion
Got the solution by using the \ forward slash escape character.
As per How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps
The Pattern can be either be:
a “string” for “Equals” or “Substring” clauses
a “Perl5-style” Regular Expression for “Contains” or “Matches” clauses
So if you choose "Contains" mode - JMeter treats pattern as Regular Expression. Either escape meta characters with a backslash - \ or consider switching the Response Assertion into "Substring" mode instear.
I'm trying to verify substring of a value to match with either of the strings.
I tried the ways as follows :
1) expect(row.getText()).toContain('Håkan Åström' || 'Hakan Astrom')
in this verification the 2nd string is not being checked so throwing fail of the step
2) expect(row.getText()).toBeIn('Håkan Åström','Hakan Astrom')
TypeError: Object # has no method 'toBeIn' - error is seen.
Can any one share the solution that can be used.
Thanks
Try to use .toMatch(RegExp). Your regular expression can match your expected string:
expect(row.getText()).toMatch(/H[aå]kan [AÅ]str[oö]m/)
I'm getting a very basic text resp failing in jmeter when it appears it should pass. Feels like some whitespace or character encoding issue, but got me stuck - any pointers would be great.
Applied to: HTTP sampler
Type of assert: Main sample only, text resp
Matching: equals
So I ran the sample with the asset disabled, and copied the content of the resp. body into the patterns to test field within the asset. The context should be static, so assumed it would pass.
However, the assert is tripping with:
Assertion failure message: Test failed: text expected to equal.
URL testing:- http://c1-orig-qa.adis.ws/c/AutomatedQA2/texttype_plain.xml
It's a bad practice to compare full xml as even 2 xmls that differ in whitespace should be equal.
Most probably here the issue is whitespace.
I suggest you just compare some texts line:
