I have a SOAP request. I need to use jmeter to test multiple requests for same method, each time passing one missing element.
How can I achieve this ?
I tried writing the tags into csv using CSV data config , but I am unable to enter empty values in the csv, each time for a different tag in each csv row.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
The CSV Data Set Config will read the value from next line only on the next iteration of the thread (virtual user), you cannot read more than one line within the bounds of a single iteration. You might want to take a look at __CSVRead() function where it's you who decides when to proceed to the next line.
If the __CSVRead() function isn't applicable for your use case be aware that you can build a request body, i.e. XML from CSV file using JSR223 PreProcessor and Groovy language.
See Creating XML chapter of Groovy documentation for more details.

My question is - if I run a test via Jmeter, for example , if it's a site which enables you to book a flight, and you choose your source and destination when you record it.
Is it possible to pass different values to the destination field? I mean, maybe a txt file with some destinations and pass it to the Jmeter test and then, you will have some tests which each of them is running with a different destination?
If yes, how can I do it?
It's not necessary that it will be a txt file. Just a way to pass different values to one parameter.
Important: I'm using blazemeter plugin for chrome.
Thanks a lot,
appreciated.
You can use CSV Data Set Config. It is very easy to use for parameterizing variables in the test plan.
Check this article on blazemeter to understand the CSV Data Set Config quickly.
Depending on what you're trying to achieve you can go for:
HTML Link Parser. See Poll Example which shows how you can use it for selecting random values from inputs
You can extract all the possible values from the previous response using a Post-Processor, most probably CSS Selector Extractor and configure each thread to use its own (or random) value from the input
And last, but not the least, you can use an external data source like .txt or .csv file and utilize __StringFromFile() function or CSV Data Set Config so each thread (virtual user) would read the next value from file instead of using recorded hard-coded values.
I have 4 input parameters which I need to pass in my http request sampler. Everything is OK but the problem is how to first data i have to pass from the previous thread http response and rest 3 from the csv file. Please help.
It seems that you want to update a specific value of the CSV during execution. It would be wise to say that this can be achieved using if controller and User Parameters element. You can go through the below screenshots to resolve this problem.
CSV Data set config for reading csv values
CSV File
Here, I have added text "REPLACE_WITH_RESPONSE" so that we can match it in IF controller.
IF CONTROLLER
This will check if you want to replace this value or not.
Users Parameters
This element would be used to update the csv value with previous request response. In the below example, Date is the CSV value which is replaced with previous Response.
Hope the above solution will help you in resolving this problem.
I want to pass test data from one csv file to multiple http requests like first row should take by 1st http sample and second row should take by 2nd http sample.Please help how to use this in jmeter.
You can follow these:
Add your CSV Dataset config in test plan level
Define Thread group (enough thread, ramp-up, duration)
Under thread group, add your requests or samples.
Put your CSV file in the JMeter bin directory.
Use those variables (defined in CSV Dataset) in your requests.
Hint:
CSV Data set Config:
Http Request sampler:
If you need to read a specific (arbitrary) line from a file with each Sampler you can use i.e. __groovy() function for this like:
${__groovy(new File('/path/to/your/file').readLines().get(0),)} - read 1st string
${__groovy(new File('/path/to/your/file').readLines().get(1),)} - read 2nd string
${__groovy(new File('/path/to/your/file').readLines().get(2),)} - read 3rd string
etc.
Demo:
File.readLines() method is a Groovy JDK enhancement to provide some "syntactic sugar" on top of "normal" Java to make developers lives easier.
See Groovy is the New Black article to get started with using Groovy scripting in JMeter tests.
I'm very new to Jmeter. I need help with the input data file for jmeter.
Here is my situation.
My test data file structure is like this:
Test Case Name = XXXXXX11
RequestData = AAAAAAAAAA11
Expected Result = BBBBBBBBB11
Test Case Name = XXXXXX22
RequestData = AAAAAAAAAA22
Expected Result = BBBBBBBBB22
and so on ....
Now, I have to send the http request and verify the expected using Jmeter (Maven & Continuous Integration).
How can I parse the given file and verify the expected result?
I have tried the following:
__StringFromFile - but i don't know how to look for the line which has Request data or Expected result;
userParameter - but not sure how to pass values on runtime.
Could any of you please help me?
Do you have single test-case per file (i.e. single appearance of "Test Case Name",...,etc. in file)?
If so then you can possibly try to use custom Variables From CSV File plugin from Jmeter Plugins project.
My suggestion would be to convert your file to csv (with any delimiter you like). The first row becomes your heading, and each additional row becomes your data you want to pass in or validate. For example:
Test Case Name|Request Data|Expected Result
XXXXXX11|AAAAAAAAAA11|BBBBBBBBB11
XXXXXX22|AAAAAAAAAA22|BBBBBBBBB22
You can load this data in to your test plan using the CSV Data Set Config. Once you do, you'll be able to loop through each row of data if you set your Thread Group to Loop Forever. Then all you need to do in the test case is refer to your variables from the csv file like so:
${Test Case Name}.
Thank you so much guys!
I just wrote a bean shell script to parse the CSV file and stored all the request & response in the array and then created a for each loop around my http sampler. That met my requirement.
Thread Group
Beanshell preprocessr (To parse my CSV and to store it in an array)
For each loop (loops thru the array)
http sample
response assertion

I have a sql like the following in JDBC Sampler of JMeter
select id,code from table where .....
how do I extract the value of the two columns.
Are you asking how to extract a value from the response?
If so, use the post-processor "regular expression extractor", attached to the JDBC request.
If you want to extract all data, you can use he post processor "Save Response to a file".
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Save_Responses_to_a_file
What is good is that the output for each request is extracted to a separate file, very useful if you use the CSV data config with your request. You just specify the prefix for files.
The output will look like :
result_save_1.plain
result_save_11.plain
result_save_13.plain
result_save_15.plain
result_save_17.plain
ETC...
The Variable Name is very useful because it describe how you can reintegrate thoses files in JMeter using the variable name.
JMeter is a killer app!
