Unable to get all the content of the page in Jmeter responses (even not available in view page source)
We have scenario where need to assert the content displayed on the web page, this content/text doesn't show up in 'view page source' as well and not shows in the Jmeter response too.
Looks like this content/text is getting generated dynamically from .js file at the run time.
However if inspect the text element, it shows in DOM (F12>Elements).
Is it possible to get this kind of dynamically generated text by .js file through Jmeter response and assert.
Please guide.
I could achieve this by using Jmeter with Selenium, launched the browser and performed the scenario so that the run time page/all .js/dynamically generated data is captured under Jmeter responses and could assert.
Thanks for help.

When I launch my application through JMeter in a browser - contents of the Login page are not displayed.
So I recorded a very basic scenario - just launching the Login page of my application through fiddler and imported it as a jmx file to JMeter. When I run the script, I see that the script fails.
If JMeter is not able to launch the page while recording, will JMeter to able to run a script that is recorded from Blazemeter/Fiddler for the same page?
As per JMeter project main page:
JMeter is not a browser, it works at protocol level. As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers. In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages. Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does (it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever displayed at a time).
So JMeter will download the DOM and the scripts (as well as images, fonts, styles, sounds, etc.) given you "tell" JMeter to do this via HTTP Request Defaults
however it won't execute the JavaScript.
If your scripts don't generate any network requests - you can just skip it as scripts are executed in browser context so you should not be too interested in the timings. If the scripts are triggering network requests - you should be able to record them using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and add them after the "main" request which gets the content of your login page.
You can put the "main" and the "scripts" request(s) under the Transaction Controller - this way you will also get "cumulative" time of their execution.
I have been working on this project and I can't get the response that I needed for assertion because the response body in Jmeter only says "Your browser does not support framing. Please update your browser", but Im using the latest version of Firefox (image 2). I also manually execute the request in the real browser, same as what browser Im using in Jmeter, and didn't encounter the said message. Can someone please tell me whats going on? Thank you for your help
Response Body
HTTP header Manager

Most probably the value you're looking for lives inside an iframe is being loaded using some JavaScript function which is not being kicked off by JMeter as it doesn't evaluate JavaScript.
So you need to invoke the relevant request manually using another HTTP Request sampler which would load the required page. You can figure out the necessary request URL by looking into page source using your favorite browser developer tools or by recording your test scenario using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.
Also be aware that due to asynchronous nature of JavaScript calls it is better to wrap it (and other JavaScript calls, if any, in Parallel Controller
You can install Parallel Controller and Sampler via JMeter Plugins Manager
I have a form, which is inside a div on page. When page is loaded, form start to load with a loading screen. JMeter capture it, when page is loaded, it doesn't wait for the form, so page loader is on 0 % when I view results. I tried to use Constant Timer to delay processing. JMeter says too early in this case, that request is successful, because a failure can happen during loading of input fields.
JMeter waits for the whole response with one little exception, as per JMeter project main page:

So if your form is being loaded via AJAX request JMeter won't automatically execute it, you will have to add a separate HTTP Request sampler to invoke the relevant AJAX request(s) which will load your form.
In order to mimic real browser's behavior you can put the main and the "AJAX" requests under Parallel Controller (you can install it using JMeter Plugins Manager)
"Why" and "When" we get this code in JMeter response instead of the real/original page and how to get rid of it?
Script is running successfully but getting this in response & this appears randomly.
Code which i get in response against my request is as displayed in this screenshot:
In View Results Tree the default is showing the response as text file.
The default Text view shows all of the text contained in the response.
You want it to render as Html so choose in drop down of component as HTML or HTML (download resources) and JMeter will render it similar to browser
If the HTML (download resources) view option is selected, the renderer may download images, style-sheets, etc.
Scenario:
in response to api request we get a html page as response, we need to accomplish the page with details and need to 'submit' that.
In JMeter:
-- I am able the to save response as a page to html
-- Need to submit page with one textField, one dropdown value
Is there possibility, that we can automate these with JMeter?
Thank you.
I tried my best, can any one please help on this.
Just record your test scenario using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, it is capable of capturing both GET and POST requests and converting them into corresponding HTTP Request samplers.
Alternative options of recording JMeter tests are JMeter Chrome Extension and Badboy.
If it misunderstood your query and you are asking about the ways of automatically detecting and submitting forms using random dropdown or radiobuttons values in JMeter test you can take a look at HTML Link Parser
