I have an issue I'm facing which Jmeter Script recorder and Firefox browser in Windows 10.
I have managed to add a project in Jmeter with the Recorder template and imported the generated
Certificate into the Firefox browser and also changed the proxy settings to point to the port
I have in Jmeter Test script recorder (8888) by changing the proxy to manual configuration.
But when I start recording I get to a point in where I need to authenticate myself at a certain point in a webpage (a prompt showing up) and I also enter the correct credentials but it just keeps redirecting back to the prompt all over again so I can't bypass it.
Are there settings I should change in some of the Jmeter properties files?
I need to say that the computer I'm trying this with has proxy settings which are fixed and cant be changed when looking into wifi settings in control panel
JMeter provides HTTP Authorization Manager to deal with external authentication types like
basic HTTP
NTLM
Kerberos
So if you want to record the end-to-end flow you need to add properly configured HTTP Authorization Manager to your recording template test plan. The configuration details will differ depending on the server configuration, see Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter article for more details (you will need this setup in any case for replaying the recorded scripts)
Alternative solutions:
Disable proxy for this particular login request like:
Record all the steps including login - it will produce relevant HTTP Request samplers
Disable proxy
Perform login
Enable proxy
Continue recording
Use a 3rd-party recording solution like JMeter Chrome Extension

I am not able to record the JMeter script because the Organization's proxy settings in the browsers blocking the JMeter to record the network calls. I am not allowed to change the Organizations default proxy settings in the browsers.
How can I bypass this proxy settings and record the JMeter script?
Also when I manually add the API calls in the JMeter and execute, it gives me the response of Organizations default proxy html message page. I added the Organizations proxy details in the Http request Proxy Server tab which is also failing.
You can use a browser which have its own proxy configuration like Firefox, a fresh installation should not be impacted with your organization policies. Alternatively if you're allowed to install browser extensions you can use i.e. JMeter Chrome Extension. And finally it's possible to export recorded requests from the "Network" tab of your browser developer tools in form of .HAR file and convert this file into a JMeter test script using BlazeMeter Converter
In order to replay the requests via proxy you need to configure JMeter to use this proxy, see Using JMeter behind a proxy for detailed instructions, the easiest way is providing proxy details via command-line arguments like:
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password
I have set up a proxy server and trying to record a script by adding "http script recorder", but the problem is I am able to access a website but not able to login.
my website has been loaded but once I enter credentials and click on the login button then a website is not behaving, login button also not responding.
In case of any problems with JMeter first of all you should look at jmeter.log file, if anything goes wrong JMeter normally writes an error message to this log file which in majority of cases is enough to get to the bottom of the issue.
With regards to your problem, my expectation is that login normally uses HTTPS protocol and you need to perform some extra configuration so JMeter would be able to intercept and decrypt HTTPS traffic.
You need to install JMeter's self-signed certificate to your browser, the file is called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt and it's being generated in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation when you start JMeter proxy.
You just need to import it into your browser and it should resolve you issue. Follow your browser documentation to learn more about certificates installation processes, some hints are also given in the HTTPS recording and certificates chapter of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder JMeter User Manual entry.
Alternative way is using JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about proxies and certificates so the recording process will be faster and easier.
I am trying to do record a test script using JMeter (version 4) Test Script Recorder for performance testing of my application. After configuring the proxy, The recorder is not recording my application URL running on localhost in Internet Explorer (IE 9). But other URLs are getting recorded in JMeter. I tried to record my application using Chrome which is working fine.I have unchecked the Bypass proxy server for local address in Proxy settings.
I recommend you to use Mozilla Firefox to record your script because Firefox allows you to manage proxies and certificates independently of system settings.
Get more information about recording:
Apache JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
JMeter Recording Guide
Make sure to check Use the same proxy server for all protocols box in the "Advanced" tab of the Internet Explorer proxy settings and there are no localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc. in the "Exceptions"
Some applications cannot route traffic to a local proxy server so you may need to add a loopback adapter
If you're recording an application which operates over HTTPS protocol you will need to install JMeter's self-signed certificate into Trusted Root Certification Authorities:
It doesn't really matter which browser you're using for recording as applications mostly differentiate the browsers basing on User-Agent header so you can record using whatever browser and then change User-Agent string in the HTTP Header Manager to IE9
According to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.0 (or whatever is the latest version available at JMeter Downloads page)
While recording application in JMeter, page is not getting displayed.
For actual daily purpose loading in browser, application uses 'automatically detect setting' (no proxies).
How to solve it?
(For recording localhost setting is used. Since there is no proxy command prompt method is not applicable)
If anybody came across this situation or has some other easy way to record other than Fiddler, Blazemeter or Badboy (since few issues while trying those also) please respond.
Also please suggest if there is anyway to get recording log from blazemeter extension for chrome because application is getting recorded with that extension, but recording log is not available.
If at least log is available I can use jcorrelate with the jmx and log as inputs to create script.
Follow the steps below to record web application in your browser
1.Create a recording Template in JMeter.
2.Open HTTP(s) Script reorder and give a port number which is not is use
3.Open your browser and setup proxy
(uncheck automatically detect setting) and set Proxy server with port mentioned in Jmeter script recorder)
If your web application uses https then you might need to install certificate generated by JMeter.
The article below explains the detailed steps to record an application using JMeter proxy server
JMeter Proxy Recording
You can convert BlazeMeter to jmx, just setup a Blazemeter account
A Blazemeter account is required to convert the recording into a JMeter script (.jmx) file because this process is performed on the server side. Any Blazemeter account (free or paid) will suffice. Signing up for BlazeMeter is super fast and doesn’t require any sort of commitment or credit card.
I am trying to record a http web page using JMeter 2.3.3 version. I have setup the JMeter proxy and tried, but didn't work. I have followed the below steps.
Launch jmeter 2.3.3, added thread group to test plan
Under Workbench->add->non-test elements-> added HTTP proxy server. proxy server setting are port:9090, target:use recording controller, grouping:donot group samplers, Type:HTTp request and checked the boxes of all under http sampler settings
Saved the settings
Now in browser(IE 7.0 or firefox 3.0.16), under connection settings, setup the manual proxy settings as local host and port as 9090 (no auto detect settings nothing, only manual proxy). Setting saved
Now in the JMeter, started the http proxy server.
Open a browser and hit the webpage needs to be tested.
The page is not opened. In fact because of the changes made in browsers, no pages are opened. Whenever I try hitting a page, the pages are recorded in the JMeter. But without the page open, how can I test.
I looking for an immediate answer and my work is blocked. Immediate answer would be appreciated.
I suspect that you need to configure JMeter to use a proxy in order to load the pages you're trying to test.
Please Configure your browser with Address:localhost and port:8080. and then start recording the script.
Steps:
Open browser IE.
Go to option and select connection.
Select "LAN Setting".
set Address:"localhost" and port:8080.
Follow this step and start recording script.
Please check if you have checked the redirect automatically check box in the HTTP Proxy settings in JMeter.
