Evaluating If condition in Jmeter based on values in CSV

Having massive problems with something that should be simple, due to my lack of understanding of jmeter.

I have a test consisting of:

CSV Data Set config
Http Request
If controller(containing Json Path extractor and an assertion)

I only want the contents of the If statement to execute if a particular variable in the CSV is set to 'Y'.

Variable name in CSV = Check_For_Selector The condition I've placed on the IF is "${Check_For_Selector}"="Y"

This doesn't work and I can't work out why.

Please note that I am using Jmeter 2.13 (forced to use this rather than 3.1).

What the heck am I doing wrong?

As Dmitri mentioned, you have to use == instead of = operator for comparison.

If still NOT working, please check below:

You should NOT keep Post-Processors and Assertions (Also, Pre-processors) without any enclosing Sampler in its scope. They won't be executed if there is NO sampler in their scope.

As you kept, JSON Path Extractor & Assertion inside an If Controller, where their scope is now, only limited to the Controller, they are NOT aware of the Sampler (HTTP Request, outside the If Controller), JMeter won't execute them.

Solution:

Keep HTTP Request inside If Controller Or Keep JSON Path Extractor & Assertion as a child of HTTP request.

In JavaScript you need to use == operator to compare two strings like

"${Check_For_Selector}"=="Y"

See How to Use JMeter's 'IF' Controller for more details on how to execute JMeter samplers conditionally with the help of the If Controller
