Is it possible to run one Create Item action regardless of which path the preceding actions take?
The image below shows what I'm trying to accomplish. Basically, the 'Last Substring of Rank'action turns a variable into an integer. If it fails, it takes the left fork. If it succeeds, it takes the right. Both forks then get an item and sets the same variable. I then want that variable passed to the 'Create Item' action.
I figured out how to do this. I just needed to add 'IsSkipped' to the Configure After Run for each fork.

I would like to know if it is possible to reset the thread context (all of its variables) at the begining of a new iteration.
The problem that I am having is that the thread keeps all the variables (and its values) from its previous iterations and sometimes it things can get messy.
If I am not mistaken, on VisualStudio Performance tests you can specify the percentage of "new users" to indicate how many VirtualUsers are going to have its contexts reseted on their next test iteration.
Do we have something similar native on JMeter or do we need to write some code to do it?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure you really want/need it, but you can remove all JMeter variables using JSR223 script with remove method:
for (Map.Entry entry : vars.entrySet()) {
vars.put(entry.getKey(), null);
}
It depends on the type of variables you create and how you use them.
For ex:
Regular Expression Extractor
Here It creates a variable regex.var and if the response matches the expression it will have some value assigned to it. If the next iteration does not match the expression, It will still keep the previous iteration value. To avoid this problem, assign a default value or check the 'Use empty default value'. so that every iteration will basically reset the value.
User Designed Variables - Each and every thread will have its own copy of the variable and threads could be modifying its variable value throughout the entire duration of the test. If you want that to be reset for every iteration, it is completely your responsibility.
I think this could be helpful.

I have a single test case to test a particular scenario in a particular environment everyday, this is automatically done by a jenkins job.
Scenario Outline: Verify a user can book
Given I navigate to the "xxxxx" Page
And I set the "Location" field with "<location>" value
And I click on the "Search" button on "xxxxx" page
Then I verify the "Results" page is displayed
Examples:
| location |
|Boston |
I need to internally have a list of 20 locations and everytime the test case is executed it changes the location some how, can be ramdon or in any order, but always changing.
I'm using cucumber, capybara and of course ruby
Thoughts please?
Cucumber has a lot of limitations in terms of being used as a programming language. It's easier to do this kind of thing if you move it into a ruby file (cucumber files aren't ruby).
One option would be to make a single step that calls these other steps internally. Some people might say it's better to call methods rather than steps from inside other steps, but if you already have your cases written as steps than this will be quicker to do it this way, because you don't have to rewrite the code into methods. It is a good idea to write test code in methods and then call them from steps, by the way, rather than putting all the logic in the test cases.
Cucumber file:
Scenario Outline: Verify a user can book
Given I navigate to the "xxxxx" Page
Then the search bar works
Ruby file:
Then /the search bar works/ do
locations = ["Boston", "Berkeley"].shuffle
locations.each do |location|
step %{I set the "Location" field with "#{location}" value}
step %{I click on the "Search" button on "xxxxx" page}
step %{I verify the "Results" page is displayed}
end
end
Another reason this could be considered nonidiomatic is because it's packing too much into a single test case. However I'm not sure a good way to get around this other than simply copy-pasting the original step definitions in the cucumber file with different hard-coded values.
It's possible
locations = ["Boston", ...]
day_of_the_month = Date.new(2001,2,3).mday
today_location = locations[(day_of_the_month - 1) % locations.count]
I use - 1 in the third line since #mday returns integer from 1 to 31.
I want to put a string result of a command in WinDbg in a variable for a later use.
For example, in a memory breakpointI want to save the result of - lm1ma eip that returns me the current module, for later comparison in $spat command.
If anyone knows a better way to achieve the goal of determining if the current debugged module is a specific module, inside a conditional breakpoint, it could be also helpful.
Use as /c Name CommandString.
It creates an alias to the results of executing the specified command.

I have a TinyDB and in each tag of the TinyDB I have a list.
Each list has 3 items, each indexed as 1, 2 and 3.
I want to change the 3rd item, index 3.
So I have done the following
So I want to now save the change in the TinyDB
and have added a storeValue command as follows.
I figured out how to get the valuetoStore variable. As follows.
I had done this before, and thought it wrong because it still doesn't change the 3rd item in the list. But I've added a notifier to look at it and it's correct. So the "replace list item" isn't working how I thought it should. It isn't replacing the 3rd item with an "n."
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Your second try is almost correct. The only thing is, you should use the replace list item block together with the local variable name instead of retrieving the value again from TinyDB.
So what is the difference to your "solution"? Currently you assign the list to a local variable name. Then you use the replace list item block together with a list, you can't store somewhere (you are loading the list again from TinyDB). And in the end you store variable name (which doesn't have been modified at all) in TinyDB. Therefore the solution is to use the replace list item block together with the local variable name instead of retrieving the value again from TinyDB. Btw. a better name for the local variable name would be list.
Further tips
Also in the definition of the local variable name you should add a block, e.g. an empty string or 0
And if you want simplify a little bit, you can move the definition of the local variable name inside the for each loop. And alternatively of using the for each number loop, for list it's easier to use the for each item in list loop, see also the documentation. The list in your case is TinyDB1.GetTags.
As already said in the forum, generally I would use a list of lists and store it in only one tag in TinyDB

For example, I have a list of items and each item has a name. I want to build a single string that contains a comma-separated list of all the names. In most programming languages, I would loop over the items and append to a value outside the list/array. But, I can't figure out any combination of Yahoo! Pipes modules to do it. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I also find nothing relevant from Google.
How do I append loop item values to a single value outside the loop?
Or how can I return a single value from a loop that's built with values from every item?
Or what is the correct method to accomplish this in Pipes if it's neither of those?
The best method I've come up with based on help from the Yahoo! group, is to use an Item Builder (item.string = default) --> Loop ( assign all to item.string ). Using another pipe inside the Loop to provide the values to concatenate was also very helpful.
Unfortunately the modules available with Yahoo Pipes alone cannot perform the task you are aiming at. The only solution available currently is to use "web service" module to call an externally hosted script (say in PHP)... the entire pipe content will be sent to the script as POST field "data". You can code the script such that it loops through all items to add the string to a single string and return it after processing.
