JMeter Beanshell sampler that runs when HTTP Request Sampler fails

Question

I need a Beanshell sampler that runs only when a specific HTTP Request Sampler fails. I want this so I can write certain variables to the terminal console when this failure occurs during test execution.

I know I can save the http response to a file upon failures [using built in jmeter component Save Responses to File] and include variables in the name of the file saved, but this is too heavyweight for what I am trying to achieve.

Check this out. Beanshell to save response to log on failure. Perhaps you can modify this concept to write variables to terminal instead of responses to file https://stackoverflow.com/a/13931040/7003774

This is a good answer but it didn't print to console when the status code was a failure. Very close though so I upvoted. – Jake Zidow May 09 '19 at 00:03
have you tried the print statement with your variables? See 1 and 2 here: https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/using-beanshell-beginners-no-java-knowledge-required – Paul Spehar May 09 '19 at 15:18
Yes after adding the print statement, this did not work when status code was unsuccessful. – Jake Zidow May 10 '19 at 17:12

Why not set up a beanshell sampler with an if condition that tests the result's HTTP status? The script would look something like this:

if (!ctx.getPreviousResult().getResponseCode().equals("200")) {
    log.info("Your log message here.");
}
