Replace blank with date - jmeter

Question

String c = ${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd,,P10D,)}
log.info("Today date " + "${c}")
vars.put("DATE_PLUS_10", "${c}")
System.out.println("${c}"); ---- This is printing 2007
def response = prev.getResponseDataAsString()
log.info('Response Initial: ' + response)
def request = response.replaceAll('""', ${DATE_PLUS_10})
log.info('Response Massaged: ' + request)
vars.put('request', request)
//vars.putObject('request', 'request');
System.out.println(${request});
I need to add 10 days to current date and replace the null value with DATE_PLUS_10

Can someone pls tell me what is the issue in the line :
def request = response.replaceAll('""', ${DATE_PLUS_10})
String c = ${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd,,P10D,)} -
DATE_PLUS_10=2007 - this is what debug sampler displays..

Answer 1

Don't use ${} syntax in JSR223 script,
You can add a PreProcessor User Parameters
Allows the user to specify values for User Variables specific to individual threads
Add a variable as DATE_PLUS_10 with value:
${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd,,P10D,)}
Then use it in script
String c = vars.get("DATE_PLUS_10");

Answer 2

you can use a global or user variable and after that you can write
def DATE_PLUS_10=vars.get("DATE_PLUS_10")
log.info(DATE_PLUS_10)
def response = "2020-05-01"//prev.getResponseDataAsString()
log.info('Response Initial: ' + response)
def request = response.replaceAll('""', DATE_PLUS_10)
log.info('Response Massaged: ' + request)
As mentioned in previous answer you can not use ${} inside JSR223 processor.

Answer 3

I tried the below this beanshell preprocessor.
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
Date date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate()+10);
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
// or: SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
String formattedDate = df.format(date);
vars.put("FUTUREDATE",formattedDate);
And used the JSR post processor
def mydate =vars.get("FUTUREDATE");
log.info("my date" + mydate)
def response = prev.getResponseDataAsString()
log.info('Response Initial: ' + response)
def request = response.replaceAll('""', mydate)
log.info('Response Massaged: ' + request)
vars.put('request', request)
//vars.putObject('request', 'request');
System.out.println(${request});
Issue resolved now.

Deon't inline JMeter Functions or Variables into scripts, you can use "Parameters" section instead like:
or alternatively if you want "pure" Groovy code:
def newDate = new Date().plus(10).format('yyyy-MM-dd')
