Jmeter BeanShell - compare between int to counter

Question

I'm trying to compare int (parse from string) to counter in BeanShell assertion.

my code:

int i = Integer.parseInt(vars.get("count_2"));

counter = vars.get("counter");


if (i != counter)


{

 Failure = true;
 FailureMessage = "failed";

} else {

    Failure = false;
}

On debug sampler I can see that both "count_2" and "counter" have the same values in all loop runs, but the assertion fails.

What went wrong?

Answer 1

Option 1: use integers everywhere

Change this line:

counter = vars.get("counter");

To:

int counter = Integer.parseInt(vars.get("counter"));

Option 2: use strings everywhere

String  i = vars.get("count_2");

String counter = vars.get("counter");

if (!i.equals(counter))
...

JMeterVariables can be either Strings or Objects, so you need to cast them to the types you need to work with.
