Is there any way to parameterize the CSV data file path or source directory path in JMeter?
There are at least 2 possibilities:
Via User Defined Variables like:
and then referring the variable in the CSV Data Set Config
Or via __P() function like:
the property value can be passed via -J command line argument or put into the user.properties file. See Overriding Properties Via The Command Line for more information.

I want to pass relative path file name in csv config element in jmeter.i have used ./filename.csv but the jmeter script doesn't work .I have also used ../filename.csv but jmeter script doesn't work.
Need resolution to pass relative path file name in csv config element in jmeter.i have used ./filename.csv but the jmeter script doesn't work .I have also used ../filename.csv but jmeter script doesn't work.
Relative to what?
As per CSV Data Set Config documentation:
Relative file names are resolved with respect to the path of the active test plan.
csvdata.txt and ./csvdata.txt - then these are treated as different files
If you have filename.csv in the same directory as your .jmx test plan - just use filename.csv, the ../filename.csv construction will look for the filename.csv file in the parent folder for the active test plan.
If you want to know the full path to the current base directory - look for FileServer entry in the jmeter.log file
INFO o.a.j.s.FileServer: Set new base='/this/would/be/the/base/for/relative/CSV/file/lookup'
you will see where JMeter tries to load the CSV file in the same jmeter.log file
I have a CSV File whose location is going to change later. Using Jmeter how can I still read the file even if the location change?
You can set the location of the CSV file as a JMeter property and pass it through the command line or through user.properties file
Set the file name with a property in the CSV Data Set Config element
${__P(full-path-to-file,/Users/hansi/Documents/test-data/test-data-users.csv)}
Note: A default value /Users/hansi/Documents/test-data/test-data-users.csv is set in the above screenshot.
2.Define the value
2.1 In user.properties file
full-path-to-file=/Users/hansi/Documents/test-data/test-data-users.csv
or
2.2 Set the property when JMeter test is executed from commandline
./jmeter.sh -n -t test-plan.jmx -Jfull-path-to="/Users/hansi/Documents/test-data/test-data-users.csv"
If the CSV file is going to change location then you could store the test plan which is using the file alongside it. This would maintain the context of the test plan if the CSV itself is going to be moving by storing them together. In JMeter relative file names are resolved with respect to the path of the active test plan (based on the official documentation), allowing you to specify only the name of the file in the CSV Data Set Config Filename property.
I would like to run the same JMX file for different loads/threads using different csv config files.Let's say csv files contains data for the username and password. For test1 csv file has 1000 rows for the test2 csv file has 2000 rows like that so on..
How can i provide different csv files via command line for the same JMX file for different thread count.
I know i can pass the threads,rampup,rampdown,duration by usin __P() function like ${__P(threads,)}via command line as below
jmeter -Jthreads=200 -Jrampup=10 -Jduration=1000 -Jrampdown=10 -n -t test1.jmx -l result1.jtl
Thanks,
Raj
You can do it just the same way as you do for Threads, Rampup, Duration, etc.
In your CSV Data Set Config define the Filename using __P() function like:
${__P(csvFile,test1.csv)}
this will tell the CSV Data Set Config to read the filename from csvFile JMeter Property and use test1.csv if the property is not set (so you could debug your test in GUI mode)
That's it, now you will be able to pass the file name using -J command-line argument like:
jmeter -JcsvFile=/path/to/file2.csv -Jthreads=200 ....
alternative way of setting up the property is putting the value in user.properties file. Check out Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more information.
I want to write a results CSV file in JMeter which contains a variable in path of the file I write.
E.g.
C:\\Users\\User1\\test-results\\${output}.csv
But I only seem to be able to use predefined variables like ${__time(ddMMyyHHmmss)}
Is there a way to use user defined variables in the path? I have successfully done this to find input files by defining the variable in the test plan node as a User Defined Variable.
I managed to use user defined variable in the path of result file using JMeter 2.9. REPORT is a user defined variable with value REPORT. It gives me file named REPORT.csv
In JMeter 3.1(?) (or Windows?) a double slash is required in the path.
I have used the following successfully:
c:\\jmeter\\results\\${testId}\MyReport.csv
c:\\jmeter\\results\\${testId}\MyReport.csv
c:\\jmeter\\results\\${__time(yyyyMMddHHmm)}\MyReport.csv
c:\\jmeter\\results\\${__time(yyyyMMddHHmm)}.csv
${testId} is a User Defined Variable configured in the Test Plan and set to ${__time(yyyyMMddHHmm)}
I am creating a HTTP Request Sampler in JMeter to automate uploading file to a http service. Is there a way to set the "File Path" in the "Send Files With the Request" to a relative path from the location of the jmx file?
Yes. (This was confirmed in JMeter v2.9)
You can use the following BeanShell expression in the filename input field:
${__BeanShell(import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer; FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}${__BeanShell(File.separator,)}<YOUR FILENAME HERE>
So if your file, "upload.jpg" was located in the same folder as your JMX test file, the complete value would be
${__BeanShell(import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer; FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}${__BeanShell(File.separator,)}upload.jpg
To keep it a bit cleaner, add a "User defined variables" config element where you assign the base of the expression to a variable e.g
SCRIPT_PATH = ${__BeanShell( ...etc
Then your file path input value would read a more readable:
${SCRIPT_PATH}upload.jpg
I'm under version 2.11, and the BeanShell script didn't work for me, to make the CSV file relative, and so to make a relative path you simple need to use this ~/filename.csv. This would mean that the CSV file exist in the same directory as the JMX file. But I guess you can modify it to this for example ~/../results_dir/filename.csv etc..
Good luck.
I found the answer here http://kisbigger.blogspot.com/2013/09/pointing-to-files-with-relative-paths.html which was ...
step 1: Create a user-defined-variable Config element to your
project.
step 2: Add a new variable CONFIG_PATH
step 3: in the value
column place this code : ${__BeanShell(import
org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer;
FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}
step 4 : use the variable
name wherever you want like ${CONFIG_PATH}\config.xml
having a filename.csv in the same folder as the jmx and putting ~/filename.csv with JMeter 2.11 and a newer JAVA did not work
