Sorry for the title being a little unclear, but I will do my best to explain what I am trying to achieve.
Send a xml request to the following URL `http://122.52.45.18:16000/foo/v1/TestData/ using POST.
This returns a HTTP/1.1 200 OK and a unique location header so something like `c4299g99-986f-53d6-c635-171b312333ef (location header is unique each time)
This is then added to the end of the request URL to retrieve the response(which is also an xml) via a GET. `http://122.52.45.18:16000/foo/v1/TestData/c4299g99-986f-53d6-c635-171b312333ef
In Jmeter, I have been trying to use the
WebSocket request-response Sampler plugin to get it working but don't believe this is the right plugin to use.
What can I do in Jmeter to create a test for this?
You can use HTTP Request sampler. Add this sampler to Thread Group, choose it and change Method to POST (by Default it's GET) then select Body Data tab to paste the XML that you want to send.
After that you will be able to extract and reuse the value from request with Regular Expression Extractor (just choose Field to check - Response Headers on that screen) to send it to the next one.
Also you can simply record a scenario with your browser and JMeter proxy.

I am using the HTTP request sampler, In which I have used Post Method.
When I Execute the request, it executes the another HTTP request from another thread.
I want to extract the data from that thread because that HTTP request contains the transaction id and I want to use that transaction id in other threads.
The said transaction id is only showing in the pop up message.
Kindly help me.
Solution for the first problem retrieving data from request URL i.e.transaction id using a postprocesser, you can refer the following thread,
Post processer for extracting a value from the URL in the request method.
Solution for the second problem passing the variable from one thread to another,
You need to add a beanshell assertion and set it a property variable like ${__setProperty(transaction_id, ${transID})}
In the second thread group add a preprocesser and accept the property variable.
String tid= props.get("transaction_id");
vars.put("TID",tid);

Thread2:
JMeter can only extract data from response body, message, code, headers, or URL.
If you send the request which triggers another request and the data you're looking for is not in the 1st request response scope - unfortunately you won't be able to get it.
The only option I can think of is using WebDriver Sampler which provider JMeter integration with Selenium browser automation framework so you would be able to execute the request and get the data from the popup using real browser.
WebDriver Sampler can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
I have a login form that has form method set to POST, form-action set to a servlet, and an OnSubmit function to check the field data.I want to performance test a file download funcitonality that lies behind this login form. To acheive this i am running a parallel sampler to login and then download the file.
The first sampler is for the login and the second one is to dowload the file.
In the first sampler, I want to POST data on this form using JMeter's HTTP Reqest Sampler.
I have inspected the form and created a sampler with three parameters, the username, the password and one more non-discloseable field. I have set the path to the servlet since it is the one handling the requests for the form.
The post request doesn't do anything in this case.
What should i do or check or modify to make sure that the POST request is hitting the correct endpoint and that it actually submits the form data.
You need the samplers to be sequential, I think if you attempt to download the file without prior logging in - the request will fail somewhere somehow.
If it is not sufficient and you would like to add an extra level of checks, i.e. test that the endpoint returns anticipated response code or has certain text you could add Response Assertion as a child of the request and add pass/fail criteria there.
If you don't know how to properly build login and download requests, the easiest way is just recording them using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, JMeter will capture the requests and generate relevant HTTP Request samplers and HTTP Header Managers
My HTTP Request has child HTTP Header Manager. The HTTP Header Manager has dynamic values, and other parameters depending on search on GUI application. See picture. The xsrf-token is dynamic, and auditlog varies depending on my search by vEnl. I am using JMeter 4.0. The HTTP Requests are GET, and therefore cannot use the checkbox "Use multipart/form-data for POST" either. How can I correlate/parameterize in this situation?
Use Regular Expression Extractor in the response of whatever request which has the right value for this Header Manager. Name it for example :testDynaVar
Then use ${testDynaVar} in auditlog's value. The parameter value will be passed to this header manager.
You need to extract this xsrf-token from the previous response using a suitable JMeter Post-Processor, save it into a JMeter Variable and substitute recorded hard-coded value with this variable in the HTTP Header Manager, check out How to Load Test CSRF-Protected Web Sites article for example implementation.
HTTP Header Manager can evaluate JMeter Variables in the runtime and substitute the placeholders with the respective values:
with regards to this auditlog header your question doesn't contain enough information to come up with the proper configuration, from the first glance you can parameterize this ctime argument using __time() function
We are using the jmeter recording template to see the api requests by our unsigned app.
When we use charles as the proxy, we are getting all the urls properly.
But when we use the jmeter recording template, we get 'MISSING PARAMETERS' for all GET requests. Essentially, jmeter does not get any parameters that are sent with the GET request.
POST requests work properly.
Any advice?
For convenience JMeter stores the request parameters under "Parameters" section of the HTTP Request sampler
it's better to work with attribute-value pairs for parameterization or correlation purposes than having to edit the URL string which might be very long.
If you replay your recorded request(s) and look into Request tab of the View Results Tree listener you will see that the parameters are concatenated to protocol, domain, etc. in the URL:
I need to create scenario for user interaction with single-page WEB application. The application does lots of AJAX calls in order to authenticate user and get user data.
So I created simple scenario with HTTP Test Script Recorder and tried to record my script.
Everything went well, however I noticed that whilst request data is recorder properly, the response data is not recorder at all. I tried to enable Add assertions and Regex matching - but that didn't work as well.
Can you please advice how do I record response texts as well?
View Results Tree under proxy will record request, responses during recording.
This is useful to understand where a dynamic field comes from. This will help your find from which response X you need to extract data to inject in request X+N.
I think you may find this option useful to add in user.properties:
proxy.number.requests=true
This will give a number to each request and corresponding sampler so you will be able to find response for the request.
Once you have done this, you will start adding Post Processors (Regex, CSS/JQuery, XPAth ...) to Sampler X to extract data from its response.
This will create variables you can then use as ${varName} in request X+N.
