http request default. http request config. csv data config used. csv data file used .I wanted to add data from csv file, but if i pass single parameter also its adding "&" character before parameter.
ex: https://www.linkedin.com/start/join?&name=A0A1A0
Just remove this ? sign from the /api/dealer/searchByPostalCode
JMeter automatically detects query string beginning in the URL path and tries to merge parameters with the ones you specify in the path to avoid syntax errors.
Given you don't provide any parameters in the "Path" section you should remove ? from there.
Another possible reason is that your CSV data contains this & character, double check it using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination.
As per the official documentation:
As a special case, the string "\t" (without quotes) in the delimiter
field is treated as a Tab.
When the end of file (EOF) is reached, and the recycle option is true,
reading starts again with the first line of the file.

So I'd request you to remove \n in delimiter field from the CSV Data set config and then try.

I am trying to parameterize my request using CSV Data Set Config. My input includes double quotes("), colon(:) and brackets([])
Eg: fiscal_year ":["2021",2019]"
Had tried with it, but in the actual results its passing as "fiscal_year "":[""2021""
Please share your inputs on what am i missing on the input paramter.
I don't think it's due to double quotes("), colon(:) and brackets([]), CSV stands for comma-separated values so JMeter treats it as a delimiter and reads everything including to the first comma.
So you might want to change the "Delimiter" to something else:
It's hard to come up with a comprehensive solution without seeing at least couple of lines from your CSV file and the way you're parameterizing the HTTP Request with JMeter Variables
In case you have one entry per line in the CSV file it might be easier to go for __StringFromFile() function which reads next line from the file each time it's being called. See Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction for more information.
I have a value in a "pro va" csv file that must be passed to a query of a URL "google.com/search?q=pro%20va" I would need to replace the space with% 20 from the variable taken from the csv, how to do it ?
Space isn't allowed in HTTP GET path or query.
You need to encode query parameters that contain spaces. Some options as below:
Check "Encode?" box in "Send Parameters with the Request" input of HTTP Request
Wrap your variable in __urlEncode function as ${__urlencode(queryTerm)}
I want to HTTP request with dynamic parameters, so I created a CSV Data Set Config. This is a CSV Data Set Config example:
CSV DATA SET CONFIG
"lat";"lng"
40.9912941561618;28.7894749639963
41.0824834;28.9850201
41.0611814136864;28.030526752118
41.0001116337;29.1471918672
40.9840449469281;28.868293762207
41.0062257041343;28.6599397659302
40.9870953373281;28.8735637664795
40.9842483906616;28.8679887067701
HTTP REQUEST
Server name is example.com. Delimeter is ;.
Dynamic parameter path is v1/ej/log/geojson?lat=${lat}&lng=${lat};
CSV Data Set Config
When I sent request it doesn't set the parameters. How I can do ?
CSV Data Set Config is by default a Comma Separated Values. In your file it's ; Separated, so you need to define Delimiter as ;.
Also remove quotes for first line with variable names:
lat;lng
And make sure you set the flag
Use first line as Variable Names
Ignore first line of CSV file, it will only be used used if Variable Names is not empty, if Variable Names is empty the first line must contain the headers.
Values are stored as JMeter variables and used as: ${lat} so your path should be
v1/ej/log/geojson?lat=${lat}&lng=${lng}
From a csv file, I need to pass
224,329,429
as a single value to one of the parameter in HTTP request.
I have parameterized using CSV data config. But, only 224 is getting passed.
I want 224,329,429 to be treated as a single value.
Please let me know how do I achieve this. Should I change anything in CSV config or CSV file to make this work?
Just use __StringFromFile() function instead of using CSV Data Set Config.
The __StringFromFile() function reads next line from the file each time it's being called so it seems to be a lot easier to stick to it for particular your scenario.
The syntax is as simple as ${__StringFromFile(/path/to/your/file.csv,,,)} and the function can be used anywhere in the script, i.e. directly in the request parameter section.
See Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction to get started with the JMeter Functions concept and comprehensive information on the above and other JMeter functions.
You should change your delimiter to a not used character e.g. #
In that way you will be able to get full line for every request
Use ${__FileToString(dummy.csv,,payloadvar)} function. It makes the file independent that mean you can use any file extension example: .txt, .csv, .excel etc..
Just keep the string in dummy.csv and it will fetch the whole string.
benefit of using this function is, it will not consider comma's so in case your string has comma separated values then this is the best option.
Just use %2C in the place of comma.
Using JMeter to support functional API testing and have run across a problem with reading data from a CSV file. The data from the file is used in building a POST data body which contains something like this:
"wibbles" : ${wibble-var},
${wibble-var} is read from a CSV file and has the format :
["wibble1","wibble2","wibble3"]
... there are over 1000 wibble values in the list.
If "wibbles" : ["wibble1","wibble2","wibble3"]... is hard-coded into the POST body, then JMeter is happy, builds the POST request and does the business, but it's proved impossible to create a CSV file with even the 3 value example above, that JMeter will parse. JMeter skips the thread containing the 'CSV read' without building the POST request or sending it, so there's no response to examine, and a Debug Sampler is similarly skipped. I've heard rumours that doubling up the quotes can work but haven't been able to find the right syntax. Can anyone throw any light on this issue? Thanks
Double quotes will work if you can get "wibble1,wibble2,wibble3" & if you set Allow quoted data to true in CSV data set config
You can get this value and then use beanshell preprocessor to convert to the format "wibble1","wibble2","wibble3".
If you want to get in this format "wibble1","wibble2","wibble3" directly, you can use \t as the delimiter & modify the data in the CSV file accordingly.
Trial and error led to the following solution.
The format of the single data variable I needed to parse is ["value1","value2","value3"] (i.e a JSON array.) and this is exactly what the CSV file contained (with a header name of course on the first row), including the [ and ] brackets.
I modified the parameterised POST body to:
"wibbles": [${wibble-var}],
-- that is, I moved the square brackets out of the CSV file so that the CSV file now just contained the quoted elements of the array:
"value1","value2","value3" etc
I then set the delimiter in the CSV Data Set Config to |
And Allow Quoted Data to FALSE. <--- This was a bit counter intuitive but without it JMeter would not read the whole comma separated list of 2000 quoted strings as a single variable.
With these changes in place the script executed correctly.
Thanks again for the responses, I will definitely look at the __String functions mentioned.
I would go for the following options:
If your "wibbles" are a single string which you need to pass a a JSON Array it might be a lot easier to access them via __StringFromFile() or __FileToString() functions like:
"wibbles" : ${_StringFromFile(/path/to/file/containing/wibbles,,,)},
If you need to access individual "wibbles" and your CSV file is basically a JSON file:
Add HTTP Request Sampler to your test plan (before one which sends these "wibbles") and configure it as follows:
Protocol: file
Path: c:/testdata/yourfile.csv
Add JSON Path PostProcessor and use a JSON Path query to store the "wibbles" into a JMeter Variable(s)
