I have a test with a repeater set to 100 iterations.  Let’s say it is going to try 100 times to buy a ticket.  Once it succeeds I want it to break out of the loop and do some other things.  Is that possible?

On the same topic. There is probably a need for both "break" and "continue" while in a loop.

In the context of the way loops are done in Alchemy by repeating a function, continue is really "return". Return just returns the function back to the caller which was the Repeater and the next iteration would be executed. Break on the other hand stops the repeater.

Yes you can!  Have a look a the Break or Continue action.  Break will cause a Loop to stop executing where as the Continue will cause the loop to skip the rest of the steps and start again at the top of the loop.  When using Break or Continue, you can optionally pass a message in the step as well indicating why it failed.

 

You can call either of these anywhere within the target function
