Use of if controller for check condition in jmeter - if-statement

I need to add a check condition for the search result page that, if a search result is found, the script should run further otherwise it should stop on the same step.
This is my Condition in if controller:
${__javaScript("${depdate}"=! null)}
Here depdate is the regex parameter. If search results are found then its value will be null otherwise it will display content. It's a part of a json string.
I have put all further step in the if controller, but not success. Can anyone help me out of this? What is the reason that this is not working.
What is wrong here with what I am performing?

The reason is that your "${depdate}" will never be null.
If ${depdate} variable is set - it will be variable value
If ${depdate} variable is not set - it will be default value (which is ${depdate}
Demo:
So change your expression to be `${__javaScript(vars.get("depdate") != null)} and everything should start working fine.
See How to Use JMeter's 'IF' Controller and get Pie guide for more information on using IF conditions in your JMeter test.

Jmeter - Run sample multiple times based on regular expression extractor

I need to run a HTML request multiple times based on a regular expression extractor applied on the same request. I have put the HTML request under while controller however, I am stuck with writing the correct javascript code in while controller.
Here is the while controller code: ${__javaScript("${uidvalue}"=="test")}.
I want the loop to end as soon as a uidvalue from the regular expression extractor is found. Can anybody help me with this?
If I understood your questions correctly, you want to keep on executing one request until response contains specific text.
I am able to do that by using JMeter's while controller.
Add While Controller to Test Plan.
Add request and Put Counter (Add-> Config Element-> Counter)
Please find following image 1 for reference of Counter
Put condition in While Controller following:
${__groovy(("${Status}"!="Success") && ${count} <= 5)}
Always use count to repeat request and avoid JMeter to go in infinite loop.Here I am waiting for 'Success' status and executing request 5 times only.
Please find following image 2 for reference of While loop
Thank you, I hope this helps.

Jmeter: unable to use multiple conditional statements in If Controller

ANSWER TO THE QUESTION
Please, dear reader, if you wish, you can proceed further and read through the question. But at the most top I'm willing to provide Dmitri's answer, so that others won't waste time playing around with Jmeter If Controller.
If you wish to use multiple condition statement in If Controller,
specifically if you want to check that variables equal some strings,
DON'T USE ${__javaScript()} FUNTION!!! Dmitri suggested to use instead
${__groovy()} function, which worked in my situation. Correct syntax
below. Pay attention to opening parenthesis, comma location and closing curly brackets:
${__groovy((vars.get('yourVariable').equals('someString') &&
vars.get('yourAnotherVariable').equals('someOtherString')),)}
Addition
If you want to save your time while trying to make If Controller working with multiple conditions, always uncheck Interpret Condition as Variable Expression checkbox. Otherwise you will have to stuck with those __javaScript, __groovy or other functions, as there is no way to understand how the hell they suppose to work and why they don't resolve to true or false (log file is always clean at this situation). This is how you do without help of those "functions". Please see my example below
${yourVariable} != 'not_found' && ${youAnotherVariable_matchNr} == 1
That's it, no need to use any functions.
INITIAL QUESTION
In Jmeter v4.0 r 1823414 I can use If Controller only with single statement, but not with multiple. Example of using multiple statements I have taken from here and it was suggested to use
${__javaScript("${responsecode}"=="404")} &&
${__javaScript("${responseMessage}" == "Not Found")}
I have also checked blazemeter tutorial page, but it says nothing about multiple conditional statements inside If Controller.
Example of my Test Plan is below
In my Debug Sampler I can see following
At some place in the Test Plan I put IF Controller to check that both variables are equal to not_found...
${__javaScript(vars.get('manual_bug')=='not_found')} && ${__javaScript(vars.get('integration_bug')=='not_found')}
...so all the subsequent actions are executed. However, this IF Controller either never gets executed or always return FALSE. Not sure what's happening with it.
Before blaming me :-) that I didn't do enough research and rushed to ask a question on SO, I will provide below samples of what I've already tried and that didn't help:
With double quotes around variables
${__javaScript(vars.get("manual_bug")=="not_found")} && ${__javaScript(vars.get("integration_bug")=="not_found")}
With additional space between equal sign
${__javaScript(vars.get('manual_bug') == 'not_found')} &&
${__javaScript(vars.get('integration_bug') == 'not_found')}
Avoid using vars.get
${__javaScript(${manual_bug} == 'not_found')} && ${__javaScript(${integration_bug} == 'not_found')}
Using double quotes without vars.get
${__javaScript(${manual_bug} == "not_found")} && ${__javaScript(${integration_bug} == "not_found")}
My log file looks completely fine, no errors
Please advise if someone was able to execute multiple conditional statements in the Jmeter tool? Thanks!
In the link you're referencing the 2 clauses are in a single __javaScript() function and you have 2 different functions so JMeter doesn't know what does your && means especially given Interpret Condition as Variable Expression? default mode of the If Controller.
Also if you open If Controller GUI you will see the following warning:
For performance it is advised to check "Interpret Condition as Variable Expression"
and use __jexl3 or __groovy evaluating to true or false or a variable that contains true or false.
${JMeterThread.last_sample_ok} can be used to test if last sampler was successful
Therefore I would recommend reconsidering your approach and use __groovy() function, the relevant syntax would be:
${__groovy((vars.get('responseCode').equals('404') && vars.get('responseMessage').equals('Not Found')),)}
Demo:
The following syntax (with double quotes) works too, however it also requires that you uncheck the 'Interpret Condition as Variable Expression' setting.
"${yourVariable}" != "not_found" && "${youAnotherVariable_matchNr}" == "1"

Problems with regular expressions on Google Tag Manager

I am trying to make a Regular Expression on Google Tag Manager, more specific in a trigger. The trick is this: the url that I need to filter have this type of url: webpage.com/checkout/#/some_parameter, but I have been trying different options, without success.
The options that I tried are:
checkout\/[#] or checkout\/[^a-z][^A-Z], and other expressions without any success. I used the preview mode, but the trigger doesn't activate, no matter what I try.
Anyone have an idea on what is happening?
Thanks.
If you want to check for the value after the hashtag I suggest you dispense with the regex. Instead you create an URL type variable and set "component type" to "fragment". This will return the value after the hashmark. You can now use that in your rules, e.g. set an exception trigger if the fragment value is some_parameters.
If the presence of any hash mark serves as exception you should be able to set a condition "PAGE URL does not contain #", again without using regex.

Elastic search browser/url bar GET request

I am trying to execute an elastic search query, eventually with an angular.get call, but for the time being I cannot get it to work even in the browser URL bar. Here is my URL.
server_loc/index-1,index-2/_search?pretty=true&source=%22{query:{regexp:{col_name:BBG}}}%22&size=10&from=0
I know that at least setting the "q" variable within the URL causes me to get the correct results. For example..
server_loc/index-1,index-2/_search?pretty=true&q=col_name:BBG&size=10&from=0
This much works. However, I would like to make a query based on reg expressions. The results that DO get returned from the first URL are simply the first 10 things in my index, and a control-F for "BBG" turns up empty. So it is getting something but not what I want.
Help?

Regular Expression Extractor not maintaining the variable value

Regex Extractor is working fine at first. I can get it to pull the correct value - a groupID - from the response in the previous HTTP request. And, I turn around and use the variable in the HTTP request immediately after the Extractor. That works great as well. I can see the value in the response was the same as the one placed in the post for the next request.
Few requests later I try to use the variable again when I need the groupID passed again. But, when I look I see the default value I put in the Extractor instead of the value from the response.
My question is two fold: is this extractor only expected to generate a temporary variable?
And, if so, is there a way to plug this variable into something else for later reuse?
Or, did I just miss something?
Well, I found my mistake. It would have helped if I read the information under the post-processor section before I read about the extractor...
I did not have the extractor as a child of the HTTP request. I had it as the next step.
Once I nested it as a child all was right with the world. The variable stays as it was and is not changing after every step.
Lesson learned - RTFM. Or, at least the online documentation a bit more thoroughly!
