I have used AMQP Publisher to publish the message in RabbitMQ then I use AMQP Consumer as listener. In the View Results Tree the messages from the queue in shown in the request tab of AMQP Consumer. My question is how to extract data from that request. I tried following the Bean Shell Post Processor but it seems it will only work on Http request. I tried to use JSR223 Post Processor and XPath extractor but it doesn't work as well. Any help?
I wanted to extract the documentId from the request. Here is the Request pattern.
I have already tried following links:
Extracting value from jmeter post request
how to extract value from request in Jmeter
How to extract the values from request input xml in jmeter
The statement that you tried something without sharing the code doesn't make sense
Posting JSON data or code as image is not the best idea
Any reason to extract data from the request? Normally people know everything about the request hence don't require to extract anything from it. Even if they do - they should normally able to store the request data into a JMeter Variable and apply the relevant Post-Processor to it.
Whatever, just in case here is the solution:
Add JSR223 PostProcessor (if you really want to do this using the Post-Processor) as a child of the request
Put the following code into "Script" area:
vars.put('foo', com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.read(sampler.getArguments().getArgument(0).value,'$..documentId')[0])
That's it, you should be able to access the extracted value as ${foo} where required.

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'm using JMeter v3.2 and I put up a really simple test plan for testing something. I have a csv file where I save all URLs acquired by a crawler. The URLs are just normal (http://something.com).
After reading those in from the CSV Config and writing them into my HTTP request sampler I get the following issue. The problem comes with the default protocol of JMeter which turns my request URL into this:
GET http://[http://something.com/]/.
Is there a way to turn that off?
Never put anything but ip address or hostname into Server Name or IP input of the HTTP Request sampler.
If you are getting the whole URL from CSV file - use Path input instead like:
Demo (as per View Results Tree listener)
See Using CSV DATA SET CONFIG guide to learn more about parameterisation of your JMeter test with CSV files.
I am using Jmeter(2.3.2) to create script for one of my application with a scenario which has flow for 4 to 5 pages. I have recorded the script using HTTP Proxy Server. The scripts has been generated successfully under Thread Group >> Recording Controller.
After running the scripts (Threads- 1, Ramp Up period - 1, Loop Count - 1 ), below are the observations I noted in View Results Tree:
The Result Tree view shows all as Checked(Green) - OK
The Sample result for all screens shows Error Count as 0 - OK
But in the response tab when I try to view the results by using 'Render Html' response data - the response data shows the same response for all the requests.
I am getting the response data of the first request for all the other requests.
I am not sure, whether the Jmeter script generated is functional or not? What is the cause for getting the same response data for all the requests?
Please, can anyone let me know what may the issue?
I bet that the same page you're observing is a kind of login page or dashboard which is accessible by unauthenticated user.
First of all make sure that you have HTTP Cookie Manager added to your test plan. It represents browser cookies and deals with user sessions and cookie-based authentication.
If it doesn't resolve your issue the problem is bigger and you will need to do some extra stuff. Modern web applications use multiple mechanisms of current state of things storing and managing, security enhancements and so on. From JMeter's point of view it results in dynamic mandatory parameters. The process of these dynamic parameters extraction from previous request and adding them to next request is called "correlation". So you need to do the following:
Detect which parameters being sent by a recorded script are dynamic. The easiest way is to record the same scenario several times and inspect request bodies to see what is being static and what changes.
Once you figure out which parameters are "interesting" you need to locate them in the first response body/headers/etc.
As soon as you have identified what necessary parameters are and where they live you need to use one of JMeter's PostProcessors to extract required values from previous response and save them to JMeter Variables
Once you have a JMeter Variable it can be used wherever required.
Depending on response data type the most commonly used JMeter's Post Processors which provide correlation capabilities are:
Regular Expression Extractor - the most commonly used test element which covers >90% of needs.
XPath Extractor - better to use against XML data i.e. for testing SOAP Web Services.
CSS/JQuery Extractor - when you need to fetch something from complex HTML where Regular Expression Extractor is useless.
So for putting everything together loog for "jmeter correlation" in your favorite search engine or see ASP.NET Login Testing with JMeter guide.
First JMeter 2.3.2 is WAY TOO OLD (10 years old), upgrade to JMETER 2.11.
Second, Jmeter cannot guess that the response if KO if the returned code is 200, so you need to add Response Assertion that will check for some text you expect in the page.
I'm testing an Eclipse-RAP application with JMeter.
In RAP the client (javascript-framework in the browser) communicates with the server over a json-based protocol.
A message looks like this:
{"head":{"requestCounter":3,"uiSessionId":"832834"},"operations":[["set","w1",{"bounds": [0,0,1680,893],"cursorLocation":[1262,-1]}]]}
As you see there is a session-ID stored in uiSessionId. I extracted this id using a "Regular Expression Extractor" and stored it in a variable namedUI_SESSION_ID`.
Then i edited the raw "Post Body" of the recorded HTTP-Request:
{"head":{"requestCounter":3,"uiSessionId":"${UI_SESSION_ID}"},"operations":[["set","w1",{"bounds": [0,0,1680,893],"cursorLocation":[1262,-1]}]]}
and it works.
But i have to alter each Post-Body of each HTTP-Request which can be a lot.
After some research i thought using a "BeanShell PreProcessor" would be the right thing, but:
var sampler = ctx.getCurrentSampler();
would give me a HTTPSampler and i did not find any method which allows me to retrieve the post-body, replace the session-id with the variable and set the altered post-body.
JavaDoc: http://jmeter.apache.org/api/org/apache/jmeter/protocol/http/sampler/HTTPSampler.html
Do you know any way i can replace the uiSessionId with the variable without changing every request manually?
You don't have to. The uiSessionId header has been introduced in a milestone version in preparation for multiple browser-tab support in RAP, but it has been replaced by another mechanism that does not use this header parameter anymore.
As of RAP 2.1 RC1, the client now attaches a “connection id” to every POST request in a URL parameter cid. This parameter does not affect load tests, and you don't have to remove it from your recording. Since every jmeter thread gets its own HttpSession, it's not a problem that all threads have the same cid.
One reason for this change was the ability to load test RAP applications without the kind of problems that you've been struggling with.
I've looked through previous questions about this but there was no definite answer so hoping someone can help me here.
I want to make a JSON RPC call using a Jmeter sampler but I'm not sure which one to use.
The request takes the following shape:
https://servicename.bla.com.service.dosomething({pass in JSON params})
If this is what you are talking about:
http://www.simple-is-better.org/rpc/#differences-between-1-0-and-2-0
You can use a regular HTTP sampler with Raw Post Body provided your service uses POST Method (which is what the example shows).
You can add an Http Header Manager to set Content Type
