    I guess your response body is multiline? In this case <status>(OK|WARNING)</status> alone won't work because the regex needs to match the entire response body.

     

    Try this:

    (?s).*<status>(OK|WARNING)</status>.*

    (?s) is the flag that enables . to match line breaks, so that the pattern can match a multiline response.

     

     

    Alternatively, you can use the XPath Match assertion with this expression:

    matches(//status/text(), 'OK|WARNING')

    and expected result = true.
