Sending empty value in query string parameter - jmeter

I would like to send an empty value like below.
https://www.google.com/search?q=
But Jmeter sends EOF instead of empty value. What is the workaround, someone please throw some light.
Thanks..

If you're parameterizing your test using CSV Data Set Config and setting Recycle on EOF to False
then when JMeter reaches the last line of the CSV file it sends the csvdataset.eofstring property value which is <EOF> by default.
The options are in:
Add as many empty lines as you want to send to the end of your CSV file
Add the next line to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation):
csvdataset.eofstring=
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.

How to read data from csv file in jmeter whose location is not fixed and might change in the future

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.

Jmeter: How to create HTML dashboard in jmeter using saved summary csv file

I am using following command to generate HTML dashboard:
jmeter -g C:/Users/E01659/Desktop/feb28/feb28_10_3600.csv -o C:/Users/E01659/Downloads/apache-jmeter-5.1/bin/sonali/
Following error is coming: File
'C:\Users\E01659\Desktop\feb28\feb28_10_3600.csv' does not contain the
field names header, ensure the jmeter.save.saveservice.* properties
are the same as when the CSV file was created or the file may be read
incorrectly when generating report An error occurred: Mismatch between
expected number of columns:17 and columns in CSV file:11, check your
jmeter.save.saveservice.* configuration or check line is complete
errorlevel=1
From the error message, it is clear that - CSV file created earlier don't have the header as the first line. When you want to create the APDEX Dashboard from CSV file, JMeter expects that files are created with correct Save Service Configuration. You can change Result file config which are present in jmeter.propertes file.
You may need to change the line as below, so that file created has the headers name as required
jmeter.save.saveservice.label = true
The command you're using is correct, the reason of failure is mismatch of the .jtl file contents and what JMeter expects it to be.
If you got this feb28_10_3600.csv file from execution on another JMeter installation - make sure that JMeter's result save configuration on the machine where you're trying to generate the report is identical to the JMeter installation where JMeter was running.
Inspect the associated JMeter properties and amend them to for 100% match, once done you should be able to normally generate the dashboard.
If you still experience the differences update your question with first 2-3 lines of your .jtl results file.
You are receiving this error (most likely) due to a corrupt line at the end of your file. Just execute a 'tail ' to see the last few lines. Most likely, your last line is missing columns due to an abrupt stop in the test. Once you delete the problematic line, you should be able to generate the HTML report.

How to save request body in Jmeter?

I am fetching data from the CSV file and giving as input to my Request.How can I save all the request in the same file when I run a test for an hour.
One more requirement is, if the result is success then I have to write that data I have used from the CSV into another file so that we can have only the data which is working in an separate file.
Please suggest
The best way would be using JMeter's built-in Sample Variables property.
Add the next line to user.properties file:
sample_variables=foo
Replace foo with the variable name you're getting from the CSV file
Next time you run your JMeter test in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.csv
your result.csv file will have an extra column called foo and having the foo variable value for each and every request. You will be also able to determine which data caused the failure by looking into "success" column

Saving a exact response in file in Jmeter

How to save exact response from Jmeter in a file?
e.g. - I have a response as email only so I want to save this email address only in a file with a success and failure but If I am saving a file as xml its giving a whole bunch of code otherwise if I save it as a csv file it's giving all sort of infomation other than a email address. Pls help me to solve it.
If you need to save the whole response - Save Responses to a file listener is what you're looking for.
If you need to store a part of the response - first of all get the necessary part with i.e. Regular Expression Extractor. Once you have JMeter Variable holding required value i.e. email you can add the next line to user.properties file (lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation)
sample_variables=email
and ${email} variable value will be stored along with other results.
NB
you need to restart JMeter to pick the property up
you can also pass it via -J command line argument like:
jmeter -Jsample_variables=email -n -t /path/to/testplan.jmx -l /path/to/results.jtl

How to write Jmeter Regex into a file after extraction

In my Jmeter test, I am able to use REGEX Extraction, After extraction I want to write the value of the REGEX variable into a file
I found a workaround as using beanshell as mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/a/15159521/4556894
Is there any clean way of doing it, May be some inbuilt features, which I am not aware of
It is possible to write variable values into JMeter .jtl results file. There is a JMeter Property called sample_variables
Optional list of JMeter variable names whose values are to be saved in the result data files.
Use commas to separate the names.For example:
sample_variables=SESSION_ID,REFERENCE
So if you run JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode as follows:
jmeter -Jsample_variables=myVariable -n -t /path/to/your/testplan.jmx -l /path/to/testresults.jtl
You'll get the output like
timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,dataType,success,bytes,grpThreads,allThreads,Latency,"myVariable"
1425978657207,368,HTTP Request,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,1591,1,1,367,YOUR_VARIABLE_VALUE
In above example column names are given for reference, they are not included into csv results file by default. This behavior is controllable via jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names property, set it to "true" to get column names printed along with results data.
You can also set sample_variables property value in user.properties file which lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation or uncomment it in jmeter.properties file (same location)
For more information on JMeter properties and ways of setting and/or overriding them refer to Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide
