JMeter - How to use response assertion as condition of my If controller

Question

I have this structure:

In my Response Assertion I defined as JMeter variable this Col2

I can get the result of my query inside the listener or inside the body of my email defined in the SMTP Sampler, this way

${Col2_1} 

but I cannot use its value as condition of my IF CONTROLLER

I tried this way with no luck:

${__jexl3(${Col2_1} > 10)} 

I think I need to define a JRS233 Assertion or a Beanshell but I dont know how to pass it from response assertion to this JRS233 or Beanshell.

How can I achieve it?

Thanks

You basically have 2 options:

1. (not recommended) untick Interpret Condition as Variable Expression

2. (recommended) switch to __groovy() function and amend your If Controller's condition to look like:

   ${__groovy((vars.get('Col2_1') as int) > 10 ,)}
   

vars is a shorthand for JMeterVariables class, remaining code should be self-explanatory, if it isn't - check out Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It guide.
