Jmeter response assertion is failing

Question

I have one API request in which on success i get below tag in its response:

<TktNum xmlns=\"\">12012</TktNum>

And i have response assertion set as Text Response and pattern rule as Contains with text as mentioned below:

<TktNum xmlns=\"\">

But, Jmeter is failing this assertion even for success.

how can i get this to work?

Thanks.

As per How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps article

The most commonly used assertion is the Response Assertion, which checks whether a response text/body/code/message/header contains, matches, or equals a specified pattern.

The Pattern can be either be:

• a “string” for “Equals” or “Substring” clauses
• a “Perl5-style” Regular Expression for “Contains” or “Matches” clauses

So I believe you need to amend your expression to something like:

<TktNum xmlns=\\"\\">(\d+)</TktNum>
