java.lang.IllegalArgumentException with value {3D} in URL query - jmeter

My Get Request has query value {3D} in the url when i make request using this it throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException same request works fine in browser and postman
I tried to provide sample URL for debugging by there is no URl with it

You cannot have either { or } in the URL path section without encoding so the options are in:
Use __urlencode() function like:
${__urlencode({3D})}
Or put your query under "Parameters" tab of the HTTP Request and tick URL Encode? box
In general if the request works in browser or postman you can just record the request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Instructions for browser
Instructions for postman

In query you need to encode the {} signs, send instead encoded value:
%7BD%7D
Or use urlencode function
${__urlencode({D})}

How to load test GraphQL API with Jmeter

I want to configure Jmeter to test the performance of following GraphQL API. I am unable to configure.
API End Point : https://graphqlzero.almansi.me/api
Query : query: {
user(id: 1) {
id
name
}
}``
Please help me with a solution.
It seems that you're trying to execute a POST request therefore you need to:
Add HTTP Request sampler to your test plan and configure it like:
Textual representation of the body just in case:
{
"query": "{user(id: 1) {id name}}"
}
Add HTTP Header Manager to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json
Demo:
If you have the call as a cURL command line, you can use menu:
Tools > Import from curl
Otherwise:
add Thread group
add a Header Manager inside it with Content-Type set to application/javascript
Add in it a Http Request, put in host the host name and in path the /api/

Jmeter Post URL with colon

I have a form action that calls the following url :
https://someurl:jsessionid=0000000
The form works.
When trying to mimic it in Jmeter the http request
if I call that url, the server will return that the url does not exists (because the :jsessionid....)
Is there anyway to mimic a form with this kind of url?
Thanks a lot in advance!.
Based on HTML URL Encoding Reference, colon (:) can be replaced with %3A. So, you can try this in your HTTP Request:
I hope this will work for you.
I think you URL is not correct as colon in URLs can be used only in 2 cases:
As a part of URL scheme, i.e. in the end of http: or https: protocol
As a separator between username and password when basic HTTP authentication is used like http://username:password#server/path
If you passing JSESSIONID as a parameter - semicolon ; should be used so please double check the character. If it something coming from the server - raise an issue as colon is not the right separator. If it is something introduced by you - you need to change the colon to semicolon.Normally you should be using either HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier or HTTP Cookie Manager to correlate the JSESSIONID cookie.

Warning status issue in jmeter result table

I have to do load testing for a web based application. I am getting status as warning the results table. My request contains the URL and the path as /. I have passed username and password in the parameters section. Even after tried many times still it shows status as warning.
I have also tried using Proxyserver address, port, user name and password ...still no luck..
Please help me on this.
If you get a Warning status, this means that JMeter detected a response code > 399.
There can be a lot of reasons for this, examples:
Wrong URL : 404
Error : 500
To have more details on it, add a View Results Tree and inspect all tabs to see:
Request : What you are sending (headers / Cookies / body)
Response : What you are getting (headers / Cookies / body)
Then fix your HTTP request by comparing request in browser with what you have build.
Alternatively, use JMeter recording feature.
To see all ways to debug a script, have a look at this book where sample chapter explains lot of ways.
If you get warning status that means your entered URL contains https:// part which means your given URL working with HTTP protocol.
Remove https:// part from
- HTTP Request Defaults
- HTTP Request
So replace https:// part by WWW and try again

HTTP GET request with a separate entity body in JMeter?

I want to send a JSON payload with HTTP GET request but I want to prevent it to be viewable in URL.
GET http://<domain>/school/search.json
{
schoolId: ["S1","S2","S3"],
location: "Pune"
}
How can I achieve this in JMeter Apache?
Get implies visible in Url, what exactly do you want to do ?
Sending Body data along with HTTP GET request is available for default (HttpClient4) implementation since ver.3.1 (as Bugzilla #60358), as well as request retrying behavior both for PUT and GET with body fixed since ver.3.2 (as Bugzilla #60837).
Just as additional note: you will likely encounter problems if you have cache/proxies in your setup and if you plan to take advantage from their usage.

Extracting values that appear in URLs after a post in JMeter

I have an app that I am trying to load test with JMeter, and I am unable to extract a value from an URL, that is generated after HTTP POST.
The app flow (simplified) goes something like this, with corresponding URLs:
Login: http://host:port/login
Go to Dashboard (HTTP GET): http://host:port/dashboard
Click "Create Content" (HTTP GET): http://host:port/$string1/$string2=/create
Enter data, click "Submit" (HTTP POST) now URL is: http://host:port/$string1/$string2=/content/$string3
$string1, $string2 & $string3 are randomly generated; $string1 & $string2 are available in the body at the dashboard URL (which are easily extracted using regex); $string3 however is returned after content is created. I need $string3 at Step 4 above to view the newly created content, and proceed with next steps in my script.
I don't have access to the internals of the app or the server it is on.
Sanity check:
Is this a chicken-egg situation?
Or am I missing something in JMeter?
Any way around this problem?
I assume after you click "submit" it's a post request that will start the create content process, then get a redirect reply from the server. (you can verify if it's a redirect reply in tree view)
Uncheck the redirect option in Jmeter and add a regex extractor element to the same request.
Then extract the redirect URL with something like Object moved to <a href="/(.+?)">here and in the next HTTP request element you can use that extracted as variable to Path like ${string3}!
