Here are some of the conditions I've tried: > > ${testStatus}!=finished > !${testStatus}==finished > "${testStatus}"!="finished" > !"${testStatus}"=="finished" These will never evaluate as the string "false". JMeter only performs textual replacement in the above examples, as that is all it has been asked to do. JMeter will replace the variable testStatus by it's current value, i.e. foo!=finished !foo==finished etc. > ${__javaScript("${testStatus}"!="finished")} This is close, however the javaScript function requires two parameters: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__javaScript There's probably an error message in jmeter.log that confirms this. Try ${__javaScript("${testStatus}"!="finished",dummy)} > I've even tried to keep the while controller from executing at all, but it > just happily executes forever: > ${testStatus}==finished > 1==2 These will never be "false" - they evaluate as: foo=finished 1==2 > I've tried this with 2.0.3 and the 20050704 nightly build. > > What am I missing?
