I am able to capture this "Error" keyword as shown in screenshot. But if check http request is showing as passed even though error has occurred. Is there a way via which if this "Error" keyword comes in any response data either request should get failed or script should not execute further
Use Response Assertion as a child of your sampler.
Select in "Pattern Matching Rules"
Contains (true if the text contains the regular expression pattern)
Not (NOT may also be selected to invert the result of the check).
Then add one pattern "Error".

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:
${__groovy(vars.get('SpecialistInfo_g2').replace(' '\, '\u0020'),)}
This will guaranteed return "normal" space separator hence your assertion should start working normally
Q1 Pagination is applied and I need to validate the response through text response , that value is present or not. SO there are 3 pages due to pagination, so value will appear in one of the three pages. So how and where should i add the response assertion?
Q2 Also if I select(pattern matching rules)as "matches" in response assertion, Then even same values appeared in response, but still assertion is getting failed.
For example: Under (pattern to test) I have added text to validate
"document":{"id":8},
Same value appeared in response after execution
"document":{"id":8},
But still assertion failed. why so?
Thanks in Advance
As per How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps article:
The Pattern can be either be:
a “string” for “Equals” or “Substring” clauses
a “Perl5-style” Regular Expression for “Contains” or “Matches” clauses
So given you chose "Matches" rule you need to use a PCRE, not a string as your input is considered as the Regular Expression
Just switch to "Substring" pattern matching rule and your assertion should start working as expected. If you want to proceed with the regular expression you need to amend your criteria correspondingly:
(?s)^.*"document":{"id":8},.*$
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.
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.
The following is a contrived demo that reproduces the issue I was having with a larger, real Test Plan. I have 3 screen captures to demonstrate how the RegEx PostProcessor never matches during execution.
[EDIT] Note that in my screenshots that the Response Field to Check is shown as "Response Message". I had already tested Body and got "null" as explained. Screencaps would have been better had they shown Body selected with null result, but this should still make sense)
1) Here's the HTML of the Sampler's Response in the View Tree:
FIGURE 1.
Notice I'm using the Regex [Pp]age\s\d{1} to successfully find the desired text "Page 1" in the HTML in the first sampler response.
2) Here's the RegEx PostProcessor on the first Sampler:
FIGURE 2.
Notice it uses the same Regex as in previous screen capture, and default text is "notfound", and the resulting variable is "TempVar".
a) Screen capture shows "Main Sample" & "Response Message" selected. This returns default text.
b) Not shown - I tried "Main Sample" & "Body", but that returns null.
3) Here's the second sampler's Path where the result of the first sampler regex is fed into a URL parameter as ?MyVar=${TempVar}
FIGURE 3.
Now go back to look again at FIGURE 1 where you will see that during execution the dynamic URL on the second sampler becomes "MyVar=notfound" when using "Response Message" (it becomes "MyVar=null" if using "Body" instead).
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried every combination in the RegEx Extractor screen, but I have never been able to get it return the matching text from the expression.
Thank you.
Change the regex you're using to:
<h3>This\sis\s([^<]*)<\\/h3>
Whilst the regex you're using does work (it will match on Page 1) because it is not using the () notation to return a value to the variable, you're ending up with null. The braces are required to denote what is sent back.
