Beanshell type of variable assertion on Jmeter

Question

I want to validate some variable types from a response on Jmeter by using Beanshell Assertions like so

(C# example)

if(foo typeof bar){
   //stuff
}

I've googled and searched on beanshell documentation but i can't find anything close to this.

Is there a way to do something simmilar?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Are you looking for an instanceof operator?

foo ="1";

if (foo instanceof String) {
   log.info("It's a string");
}

foo = 1;

if (foo instanceof bsh.Primitive) {
   log.info("It's a primitive");
}

Also be aware that starting from JMeter 3.1 it's recommended to use JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language so it worth migrating to JSR223 Assertion and Groovy language
