Jmeter while controller 2nd condition not working

Question

I have a thread group with a While controller. At there I have set below condition.

${__javaScript(((${__time()} - ${LOOPSTART}) < 600000)  || ("${Queuing_Status}" == "QUEUED")) }

${Queuing_Status} is a user defined variable with the text QUEUED.

${LOOPSTART} is coming from a Bean shell sampler, and below is the code for that.

vars.put("LOOPSTART", System.currentTimeMillis().toString()) 

I have noticed that it will never reach the 2nd condition. So what might be the possible error with my condition.

Answer 1

I think you need to use && operator instead of || one:

${__javaScript(((${__time()} - ${LOOPSTART}) < 60000)  && ("${Queuing_Status}" == "QUEUED")) }

Also:

• Since JMeter 3.1 it's recommended to use JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting so it worth considering migrating to JSR223 Sampler
• __jexl3() function is recommended for using instead of __javaScript(). Alternatively you can consider __groovy() as well. The reason is the same: performance, moreover JavaScript has been removed in JDK15 so you might face problems with JavaScript in Java 15+
