Scenario with Conditional Loop

I would like to know if the following is possible.

I am attempting to create the following scenario:

• Post - Login to the system
• Post - Process File by sending post file data to endpoint
• Loop until processing is complete - Get - Get the status of the file processing and Check Status of File to see if it is finished (100).
• Break out of Loop if the check status of the file is at 100

I tried the following scenario:

flow: - post: url: “/login” log: “Logging into {{ $url }}” json: user: “admin” password: “admin” capture: json: “$.session_id” as: “id” - post: url: “/file” beforeRequest: “setFileBody” capture: json: “$.data_id” as: “data_id” -
loop: -
get: url: “/file/{{ data_id }}” log: “Checking {{ $url }}” log: “{{ $loopCount }}” headers: apikey: ‘{{ id }}’ capture: json: “$.scan_results.progress_percentage” as: “result” afterResponse: “setCounter” count: 100000

I then have the following afterResponse hook to attempt to set the loopCount to 100000, if the status of 100 is reached. function setCounter(requestParams, response, context, ee, next) {

    console.log(`Loop Count ${context.vars.loopCount}`)
    if (context.vars.result === 100) {
        console.log("In Setter")
        context.vars.loopCount = 100000
    }
    return next();   
}

This however does not appear to work. In debug mode, I can see that the system goes into the the setting of the loopCount but it does not appear to break out of the loop.

Is there a better approach or way to break out of the loop and check if my inner “get” response has the right data? (i.e -result = 100)

It would be similar to the existing loop construct

loop:
-
    get:
    url: "/file/{{ data_id }}"
    
count: 100000

But instead of count maybe break or while. Something like:

loop:
-
    get:
    url: "/file/{{ data_id }}"
    
while: {{ data_id < 1000 }}

and the while or break is an expression. Where (data_id) is a variable that is settable in some preRequest and postResponse hook.

This can be done with the new whileTrue attribute on loops in Artillery 1.6.0-9. Docs here:
