JMeter - Stop Thread from within a BeanShell PreProcessor

Question

Is it possible to stop a Thread, or force a failure from within a BeanShell PreProcessor? I tried accessing the "stop()" function/method from the ThreadGroup Class and a few others, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right or if its possible.

I wanted to force my Test to stop inside my BeanShell PreProcessor if this one particular if statement inside my script resulted in TRUE... Is this possible? I did read a little of the "Failure" and "FailureMessage" functions, but wasn't sure the end result of using those was.

Any thoughts or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt

In a beanshell pre processor, you could try this:

org.apache.jmeter.engine.StandardJMeterEngine.stopThread(Thread.currentThread().getName());

In a beanshell post processor:

if (condition) prev.setStopThread(true);

If you can express your condition as an if-controller though, I would prefer to use a Test Action.

Thanks for the reply. Ok cool, I'll give that a shot thanks! Question regrading PreProcessors. If you have a BeanShell PreProcessor placed at the Thread Group level, *For example inside a Thread Group it has this from the top of the tree down, HTTP Request Defaults, Cookie Manager, Random Variable, BeanShell PreProcessor, HTTP Request #1, HTTP Request #2, HTTP Request #3... In that instance would the BeanShell PreProcessor get executed before EVERY HTTP Request, or just before all of those HTTP Request samplers begin, because I think it executed 3 times and there are 3 HTTP Samplers?

BTW, that first line of code you posted did stop the test... Thanks Again!

I didnot know that we can stop the thread in preprocessor. Thanks for the info.

Ok done. I thought it did not make sense to stop the thread in the pre-processor. It could be useful in some cases.
