Feature: loop until a condition is met

[hassy]

It can be useful to loop until a condition is met.

This could be done with something like a whileTrue hook, which would call back with true or false to indicate whether the loop should continue and would have access to the full context.

Something like this would be great. Added a comment in #308 to describe my scenario.

For me, support for an equivalent of beforeRequest or beforeScenario for loops, with arguments to alter the loop specs, would be great.

Thanks for the info @joesb. Always helpful to have some real use cases in mind when adding a feature!

Let's say you have a chat room which is full and users sometimes leave the room. You might want to loop sending a join-room event until you can finally join (someone left and the room is not full anymore).

👍 It would be useful.
In my case I upload a file that is queued to process by another service.
Then I asking for file status. Response status code 202 ACCEPTED means that output is still not ready. When I got status code 200 I can continue scenario.

Our case is that we'd like to make a first request that returns an array of URLs and then we want to request each of those URLs. If there is a better way please let us know, but it seems like "loop with a condition" could allow us to do that.

Same thing as this: artilleryio/artillery-core#106
