Re: Issue with Response assertion for HTTP Request Sampler

[Deepak Shetty]

hi
what options have you chosen for Response Assertion?


   - Contains - true if the text contains the regular expression pattern
   - Matches - true if the whole text matches the regular expression pattern

   - Equals - true if the whole text equals the pattern string
   (case-sensitive)
   - Substring - true if the text contains the pattern string
   (case-sensitive)

Equals and Substring patterns are plain strings, not regular expressions.

Note that what you are trying to do resembles the "Equals" or "Substring"
usecase. However as sebb points out , it is important that the string then
be an exact match (including the line endings or spaces or whatever) and it
is very hard to visually check whitespace characters.

However such a thing is rarely needed in a test (and has the added
consequence of making your test very brittle). It's usually easier to
compare specific data points than the entire response.
