How to fail a request

Question

Hi

So far I've always been able to do what was needed via .webtest.  Now there are few things that  require coding which I'm not too much familiar with. 
When I create the code from webtest what language are we using?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
When I get to a certain page I extract the total (TotalCount = 5)
After I add a user the total become 6 which I also extract.  (TotalCount2 = 6)
Now I want to say

extractionRule12.ContextParameterName = TotalCount2
extractionRule10.ContextParameterName = TotalCount

if

{
I want to fail the request here.  How do I do that"
}

Thanks

 

 

(extractionRule12.ContextParameterName == extractionRule10.ContextParameterName + 1)

Hi  halchal,

You can fail a request using the Outcome:

Hello,

The language of coded web test depends on the project choice in the prompted dialog while creating a new web test through Test->New Test.

To fail a request, you need to write a request level plug-in and set the outcome of request in it after upgrading to SP1. To use the context parameter in plug in, we could utilize 'e.WebTest.Context["ContextName"]' instead.

The codes I tested on my machine are shown below and you may refer to:

public class Class1:WebTestRequestPlugin
    {
        public override void PostRequest(object sender, PostRequestEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.WebTest.Context["Total"].ToString()=="Dda")
            {
                e.Request.Outcome = Outcome.Fail;
            }
        }
    }
