Trying to read a csv file in Jmeter using Beanshell Sampler - jmeter

Question

I am trying to read the cells in an xls file.This is the code I have.Please let me know where I am going wrong.I don't see any error in the logviewer but it isn't printing anything.
import org.apache.commons.csv.CSVFormat;
import org.apache.commons.csv.CSVParser;
import org.apache.commons.csv.CSVRecord;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
public class ApacheCommonsCSV {
public void readCSV() throws IOException {
String CSV_File_Path = "C:\\source\\Test.csv";
// read the file
Reader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(Paths.get(CSV_File_Path));
// parse the file into csv values
CSVParser csvParser = new CSVParser(reader, CSVFormat.DEFAULT);
for (CSVRecord csvRecord : csvParser) {
// Accessing Values by Column Index
String name = csvRecord.get(0);
String product = csvRecord.get(1);
// print the value to console
log.info("Record No - " + csvRecord.getRecordNumber());
log.info("---------------");
log.info("Name : " + name);
log.info("Product : " + product);
log.info("---------------");
}
}
}

You're declaring readCSV() function but not calling it anywhere, that's why your code doesn't even get executed.
You need to add this readCSV() function call and if you're lucky enough it will start working and if not - your will see an error in jmeter.log file.
For example like this:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import org.apache.commons.csv.CSVFormat;
import org.apache.commons.csv.CSVParser;
import org.apache.commons.csv.CSVRecord;
public class ApacheCommonsCSV {
public void readCSV() throws IOException {
String CSV_File_Path = "C:\\source\\Test.csv";
// read the file
Reader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(Paths.get(CSV_File_Path));
// parse the file into csv values
CSVParser csvParser = new CSVParser(reader, CSVFormat.DEFAULT);
for (CSVRecord csvRecord : csvParser) {
// Accessing Values by Column Index
String name = csvRecord.get(0);
String product = csvRecord.get(1);
// print the value to console
log.info("Record No - " + csvRecord.getRecordNumber());
log.info("---------------");
log.info("Name : " + name);
log.info("Product : " + product);
log.info("---------------");
}
}
readCSV(); // here is the entry point
}
Just make sure to have commons-csv.jar in JMeter Classpath
Last 2 cents:
Any reason for not using CSV Data Set Config?
Since JMeter 3.1 you should be using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting so consider migrating to Groovy right away. Check out Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It for reasons, tips and tricks.
