Regular expression in While Controller Jmeter

Question

I am using While Controller with Condition:

${_javaScript("${DONE}" ! = "Resolved and Downloaded";)}

where initially DONE="Not Assigned yet".

After few iterations DONE changes and has value Resolved and Downloaded (which I check in Debug Sampler) but loop continues and doesn't quit.

What did I do wrong,What should I do to make it work?

Check syntax of your condition expression first: should be double __ before function name and , instead of ; after condition in function's params list:

${__javaScript("${DONE}"!="Resolved and Downloaded",)}

This can break your test case.
As well you can look into jmeter.log for possible issue details.

It's easier to look into log viewer – Andrei Botalov Dec 28 '12 at 14:47
I tried but it didn't work .. In .log it is giving this exception... ERROR - jmeter.functions.JavaScript: Error processing Javascript: ["Nothing Assigned Yet" ! = "Resolved and Risk Data Downloaded" ] org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException: missing ; before statement (#1) – Just_another_developer Dec 31 '12 at 05:03
I also tried with all the spaces removed after seeing this http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/ErrorMessages ..but still getting error. – Just_another_developer Dec 31 '12 at 05:47
O, really? And what about double "__" before function name? Or is it conventionality? – Aliaksandr Belik Jan 16 '13 at 11:57
I did not try with single "_" so can't say anything..but i think it is mandatory because I researched a lot, like crazy, past few days and I never saw anyone using it singly like "_" – Just_another_developer Jan 16 '13 at 16:18

You can try the following using while controller:

${__javaScript(${DONE} !="Resolved and Downloaded")}

You may use if controller.Keeping the if controller as a child of runtime controller.Specify max time in runtime controller.

Under If controller specify the following: "${DONE}" !="Resolved and Downloaded"
