I would like to use SMTP Sampler in my Jmter script but i am getting error 500 saying that a file location is access denied. I performed workaround by adding attachment but in my case, I do not need to attach any files for my SMTP sampler. Are there any workaround for this?
Double check that there is no whitespaces in the "Attach file(s)" input (the whitespaces are not visible but given you provide something there JMeter will try to load the file)
You can open your .jmx script with a text/XML editor of your choice (JMeter .jmx scripts are basically XML files)
If you don't want to send any attachments there should be the following line in the script:
<stringProp name="SMTPSampler.attachFile"></stringProp>
if there are any characters between attachFile"> and </stringProp> - remove them and your request should start working (assuming that other configuration parameters are correct)
An example of incorrect setup (with 3 whitespaces) will look like:
Check out Load Testing Your Email Server: How to Send and Receive E-mails with JMeter article where you can see example configuration which you can re-use for building your own request.
You can check Send plain body and put your message text inside the file,
Send plain body (i.e. not multipart/mixed) If selected, then send the body as a plain message, i.e. not multipart/mixed, if possible. If the message body is empty and there is a single file, then send the file contents as the message body.
Email will send file content as email body

So, I have an XML file that needs to be sent to a server via the POST request. Everything works, however, here is an issue. This XML file has a transaction ID that needs to be incremented every time when it's being sent to a server. When I create multiple threads(requests) and send them over to the server, only one request gets processed, and everything else gets declined because they all have the same transaction ID. I was wondering if there is a way to increment a transaction ID inside the XML file with every generated thread?
Just use __counter function call where you have currently the transaction id:
${__counter(FALSE)}
It depends on how you're sending the file.
If you're doing it via Body Data tab of the HTTP Request sampler using __FileToString() function just replace the transaction ID with __threadNum() function in the file itself and wrap everything into __eval() function like:
${__eval(${__FileToString(/path/to/your/file.xml,,)})}

If you're sending the file via "Files upload" tab the only way is to read the file using JSR223 PreProcessor, change the value and write it back in the runtime, see Processing XML article for more details.
I am reading Gmail inbox using Jmeter Mail Reader Sampler. The email's subject line and body is in Japanese language.
From the email response I have extracted the Subject line and some of the Body content and Now i want to assert those by putting the content in a dummy sampler as placeholder.
The challenge is the extracted result is appearing like question mark (Subject: ????????) in the response of the Dummy Sampler, which every-time fails the response assertion with matching or contains option. Debug Sampler also shows same question mark.
I have also used the below property in the system properties, but no luck
sampleresult.default.encoding=UTF-8
I want to match the Subject line and other email content in Japanese language. Any suggestions?
Most probably your default locale setting is not suitable for Japanese characters, I would recommend sticking to UTF-8 locale as it's the most powerful one which can work with any characters from any languages, special symbols, emoji, etc.
Try launching JMeter as:
jmeter -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
and it should resolve your issue.
If it does and you need to make the change permanent just add the next line to the system.propeties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation:
file.encoding=UTF-8
References:
Guide to Character Encoding
Java May Use UTF-8 as its Default Charset

By the way, there is no need to use the Dummy Sampler as it generates an extra SampleResult, you can apply the Response Assertion directly to the Mail Reader Sampler
I have a scenario where I want to read the data from CSV file and use the same in a POST request. The email data contains '#' symbol.
So, when I try to hit the API using Jmeter '#' is getting replaced by '%40'. I tried below solutions but it didn't worked out:
Uncheck 'URL Encode' checkbox
Used __urldecode function -> ${__urldecode(abc#xyz.com)}
Result:
I don't think JMeter converts anything, it should send POST request parameters as they are, what you see in the View Results Tree listener is the textual representation. You can use a sniffer tool like Wireshark to see what exactly JMeter sends:
If you switch to HTTP tab you should see that the username is sent with # symbol
If you have troubles building your HTTP requests manually consider recording just recording the request(s) using either HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder or JMeter Chrome Extension, both should produce syntactically correct HTTP Request samplers.
I'm not able to save response in PDF file generated from the APIs. I am using Jmeter for load testing and by the help of Jmeter I am calling the APIs.
In a Jmeter script I have 150 APIs. It's hard to go through all APIs to check the output. Is there any way to save the data generated by the APIs?
To save response from API you have to add Save Response to a file listener:
Right click on your API request.
Add -> Listener -> Save Response to a file.
Setup Variable Name containing saved file name.
At this step you may enable "Add Timestamp" setting, then date will be included in file suffix following format yyyyMMdd-HHmm_

I try to save response of a HTTP Request with custom file extension. ContentType is application/octet-stream and saved file ends with _1.octet-stream by default. I use Save Responses to a file listener to save file.
Add Save responses to a file listener as a child of the request which output you would like to save
Configure it like:
Replace myfile.txt with your desired filename/extension
That's it, assuming the above configuration JMeter will store the file under the given name
