Result Status Action Handler when set to 'Continue' is not overriding the 'Action to be taken after a Sampler error' in Thread Group

**mark.pilon** ([Bug 65175](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=65175&redirect=false)):
Hello, I have an possible bug with the Result Status Action Handler in JMeter 5.4.1.

Test Case
- My Thread Group's 'Action to be taken after a Sampler error' is 'Start Next Thread Group'. My loop count is 2.
- I have three HTTP Samplers each going to google.com, google.com/xyz (which is expected to fail with 404), and google.com//services respectively.
- I have a 'Result Status Action Handler' set to Continue that is at the same level as the HTTP Samplers (ie at the root of the Thread Group).

Expected result:
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails but continues
- Sampler for google.com/services should pass
- Loop 1 ends
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails but continues
- Sampler for google.com/services should pass
- Loop 2 ends
- Test stops

Actual Result:
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails
- Loop 1 ends without executing google.com/services
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails
- Loop 2 ends without executing google.com/services
- Test stops

I think the problem may only be with the 'Continue' option in 'Result Status Action Handler' since every other option seems to stand up under test.

For example, if I have the same test case but set 'Result Status Action Handler' set to 'Stop Test' the test acts as expected.
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails and the test stops
- Loop 2 is not executed

I've attached the jmx file which illustrates the problem.

Thanks,
Mark

Severity: normal
OS:

Start by running the attached resultStatusActionHandlerIssue.jmx with JMeter 5.4.1 and compare the Continue behavior with the reported Thread Group setting. Trace the Result Status Action Handler and sampler execution path; done means a failed sampler with Continue still allows the following sampler to run across both loop iterations.
