Below is the code which i have been trying to address the below UseCase in JMETER.Quick help is appreciated.
Usecase:
A particular text like "History" in a page response needs to be validated and the if the text counts is more than 50 a random selection of the options within the page needs to be made.And if the text counts is less than 50 1st option needs to be selected.
I am new to Jmeter and trying to solve this usingJSR223 POST processor but somehow stuck at vars.put function where i am unable to see the desired number being populated within the V paramter.
Using a boundary extractor where match no 1 should suffice the 1st selection and 0 should suffice the random selection.
def TotalInstanceAvailable = vars.get("sCount_matchNr").toInteger()
log.info("Total Instance Available = ${TotalInstanceAvailable}");
def boundary_analyzer =50;
def DesiredNumber,V
if (TotalInstanceAvailable < boundary_analyzer)
{
log.info("I am inside the loop")
DesiredNumber = 0;
log.info("DesiredNumber= ${DesiredNumber}");
vars.put("V", DesiredNumber)
log.info("v= ${V}");
}
else{
DesiredNumber=1;
log.info("DesiredNumber=${DesiredNumber}");
vars.put("V", "DesiredNumber")
log.info("v= ${V}");
}
def sCount = vars.get("sCount")
log.info("Text matching number is ${sCount_matchNr}")
You cannot store an integer in JMeter Variables using vars.put() function, you either need to cast it to String first, to wit change this line:
vars.put("V", DesiredNumber)
to this one
vars.put("V", DesiredNumber as String)
alternatively you can use vars.putObject() function which can store literally everything however you will be able to use the value only in JSR223 Elements by calling vars.getObject()
Whenever you face a problem with your JMeter script get used to look at jmeter.log file or toggle Log Viewer window - in absolute majority of cases you will find the root cause of your problem in the log file:

I want to return the value of "Yield:" from a series of stocks from a URL dividenhistory.org, for example HDIF into a Google sheet using IMPORTXML, where F7 represents the user supplied ticker.
=IMPORTXML("https://dividendhistory.org/payout/TSX/"&F7, "/html/body/div/div[2]/div[2]/p[4]")
The problem with the above is the yield value is not always located in the same paragraph, depending on the ticker. It also returns with the word "Yield:" as part of the value.
I believe I should be using the XPATH parameter which should find and return the yield value only, but I am lost. I am open to all suggestions!
I tried with a few of the tickers there, and this should work. For example:
=IMPORTXML("https://dividendhistory.org/payout/ctas/", "//p[contains(.,'Yield')]/text()")
Output:
Yield: 1.05%
Obviously, you can change 'ctas' for any user input.
Try this and see if it works on all tickers.
EDIT:
To get only the number 1.05, you need to split the result and output the 2nd part:
=index(split(IMPORTXML("https://dividendhistory.org/payout/ctas/", "//p[contains(.,'Yield')]/text()"), ": "),2)
Output:
0.0105
I have a request in Jmeter that I need to loop until I find the result I am looking for. I have read a few bits about a while controller but found them unhelpful as they seem to glance over vital information or are using an older version of Jmeter
I'm currently using Jmeter 5.0, and I have attempted to implement a while controller but failed as I think I do not understand how to properly handle the response, or even grab it, and then use it as a comparison to assert if the item exists.
I get a response from the HTTP request call response that looks a little somthing like this:
{"data":{"getIDs":{"Page": 1,"PageSize": 25,"PageCount": 1,"isFirstPage": true,"batches":[{"id":"b601a257-13fe-4de3-b779-a5922e89765a"},{"id":"b601a257-13fe-4de3-b779-a5922e89765b"},{"id":"b601a257-13fe-4de3-b779-a5922e89765c"}]}}
I need to recall the endpoint until I have found the ID I am looking for or cancel after 10 attempts
So after a bit of fumbling around I, I figured on my own answer that seems to work well. But I would suggest looking at other sources before taking mine as gospel.
The basic structure looks as follows:
Within a thread I set the variables then create the while loop as the next step. Within the While loop I created a counter then added the request I wanted to loop after. To make the loop work for me, I have three items sat under the request.
A Response Assertion: this check for a 200 status as the call should never fail
A Constant Timer: There is a delay between polls of the end point
A JSR223 Assertion: groovy code used ensure the while loop logic is handled
User Defined Variables:
Here i have setup two variables:
DONE: Done is a string value I alter if my JSR223 Assertion finds the values I'm looking for in the HTTP request
MyValue (this is dynamically driven in my actual test, for demo purpose, I’m just declaring a value to look for i.e. 12345)
While Controller:
I still feel i may not understand this correctly, however after some googling I came across the following code that works for me despite some errors in the JMeter console:
${__javaScript(("${DONE}" != "yep" && ${Counter} < 10),)}
This code is saying that the while loop will continue until either of these two conditions are met:
DONE, the variable created earlier, is equal to the value yep
Counter is less than 10 (Counter is declared beneath the while loop)
Counter:
this was a simple configuration step that just worked once I understood it needed to be within the while loop, i configured the following:
Starting value = 1
Increment = 1
Exported Variable Name = Counter
Ticked 'Track Counter independently for each user'
Ticked 'Reset counter on each thread group iteration'
(Exported Variable Name: you can call this whatever you want, I’ve named it counter for the purpose of this demo)
JSR223 Assertion:
This is a simple script assertion that just uses a Boolean and a couple of if statements to assert the state of the test.
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;
def done = vars.get("DONE");
String response = prev.getResponseDataAsString(); //retrieves the http request response as text
String MyValue = vars.get("MyValue");
def counter = vars.get("Counter");
//Find Substring within response string and stor result as boolean
String container = response;
String content = MyValue;
boolean containerContainsContent = StringUtils.containsIgnoreCase(container, content);
//Check if the true condition is met and change the value so the loop exits
if (containerContainsContent == true){
log.info("------------------------Got Here");
vars.put("DONE", "yep");
}
//Force test to fail after 10 loops
if (Counter.toString() == "10"){
assert 1 == 2
}
How to ensure/handle duplicate values are not getting captured while using regular expression?
In my scenario i need to capture multiple offers from my response. But cant use the same offers again and again within the transaction
There are multiple ways to do this. If you are using the default Regular Expression Extractor, the problem is it creates the variables (eg: offer_1, offer_2 etc), ready to go with the execution. It would've been easier if it returned a ArrayList of some sort where we can remove the duplicates. What I am about to suggest is to add those variables to a list in a JSR223(groovy) sampler/post processor then convert them back to usual jmeter variables to use in the usual jmeter script flow.
Snippet:
I created a sample script as per your description which would return multiple offers with some duplicates. Following is the state of jmeter variables before post processing.
offer_1=RUSSIA
offer_1_g=1
offer_1_g0=offer="RUSSIA"
offer_1_g1=RUSSIA
offer_2=UK
offer_2_g=1
offer_2_g0=offer="UK"
offer_2_g1=UK
offer_3=ICELAND
offer_3_g=1
offer_3_g0=offer="ICELAND"
offer_3_g1=ICELAND
offer_4=USA
offer_4_g=1
offer_4_g0=offer="USA"
offer_4_g1=USA
offer_5=UK
offer_5_g=1
offer_5_g0=offer="UK"
offer_5_g1=UK
offer_6=USA
offer_6_g=1
offer_6_g0=offer="USA"
offer_6_g1=USA
offer_7=USA
offer_7_g=1
offer_7_g0=offer="USA"
offer_7_g1=USA
offer_matchNr=7
As you can see above there are duplicates in the variables. Put the following Groovy code in a JSR223 post processor with groovy as language selected.
// Count of offers extracted by Regular Expression Extractor
def count = Integer.parseInt(vars.get("offer_matchNr"))
// An empty list which will store the offers
def offer_list = []
for (int i = 1; i <= count; i++){
def offer = vars.get("offer_" + i)
offer_list.add(offer)
}
// Removes the duplicates in the list
offer_list.unique()
// Following one liner adds new variables but with only unique offers in similar format as jmeter variable.
offer_list.eachWithIndex{ it, index -> vars.put("unique_offer_${index+1}", "${it}")}
After post processing:
unique_offer_1=RUSSIA
unique_offer_2=UK
unique_offer_3=ICELAND
unique_offer_4=USA
I'm facing a situation where I need to build a request string dynamically before sending it in an HTTP sampler. I'm choosing a random number between 15 and 50, and then for that many times, I append an XML tag with a parameter. So if my random number is 22, the this appended string (I call it ricString) will contain the same xml tag 22 times! And all I want is for it to use 22 different parameter values from the CSV file. But it doesn't do that. It takes the same value 22 times, and then uses the next value in the next iteration. Here is what I have written in my beanshell pre-processor.
counter = ${__Random(15,50)};
i = 0;
String ricString;
while(i<counter)
{
i++;
ricString = ricString + "<req:RCS>${__StringFromFile(...\RIC_3_01_Flag.csv)}</req:RCS>";
}
I have tried using both __StringFromFile as well as __CSVRead(filename, next) functions but no luck. It just does not update the value when inside the while-loop. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Use a CSV DataSet that you nest into your loop (this is very important).
Then just use that variable that your CSV DataSet defines in your XML.
I need to generate the same JSON data twice for each thread for an HTTP request. I am having problem setting that up in JMeter.
My structure is:
Test Plan
- HTTP Header Manager
- Thread Group 1 users, 5 loop
- Random Variable,
- HTTP Request
I tried the combination of Per Thread User set to true and using seed for random function, but I can't achieve what I want. It keep on generating new number/string per loop.
Basically for each user, I want the exact same JSON request data.
I see three decisions for your case:
Use User Defined Variables before HTTP Request. Specify variables here. In this case it will be better to use __Random() function instead Random Variable.
Test Plan
- HTTP Header Manager
- Thread Group 1 users, 5 loop
- User Defined Variables, (Name:varName; Value:${__Random(1,100)})
- HTTP Request
Use Loop Controller (loop count=5) before HTTP Request (instead loop=5 in Thread Group)
I can suggest another solution which seems to me verbose and awkward but no other idea.
You create file using BSF (or BeanShell) PreProcessor and write value of random variable into file. Then read file before every request. In the next example I used Groovy and BSF PreProcessor.
import java.util.Random
def out= new File('File1.txt') // create file if it is not exists
if(!out.exists())
{
out.createNewFile()
Random rand = new Random()
int max = 10
def a = rand.nextInt(max+1)
out << a // write text to file
}
//then read value of generated variable
String fileContents = new File('File1.txt').text
//then put your variable into User defined Variable that I named HELLO
vars.putObject("HELLO",fileContents)
And in needed request use ${HELLO}
