I need to take the input for next page from previous page source.
Previous page source:
In next page I need to pass this departure city as input in URL.
Sample URL:
/findflight?depart=Acapulco
Here I want to pass the Departure city's(previous page) in next page URL.
So, how can I parameterized this in jmeter??
Let me know if anyone need any additional info on this!!
You can use "Post Processor" like "Regular Expression Extractor" or Boundary Extractor and then pass it in the next sampler path as ${varSam}
Below is a sample where I am using Regular Expression extractor to fetch a value and putting it in a variable. So, this is your request from where you have to fetch the departure city.
Here I am passing that variable in the URL
Hope it helps
Add CSS/JQuery Extractor as a child of the request which returns the above HTML
Configure it as follows:
You will get a random city stored as depart variable and will be able to access its value as ${depart} where required
Optionally you can extract all the values by setting "Match No." to -1, this will give you the following variables:
See How to Use the CSS/JQuery Extractor in JMeter for more information if needed
It is resolved by using the Post Processor(Regular expression extractor). Applied this to the page response.
Page response
parameterized this as following:
Request for the next page by using the above parameterized value
Thanks for the help!!

In my first request I am able to extract the value using Regular Expression Extractor which is clearly visible into the debug sampler. The value is extracted by setting the following options in Regular Expression Extractor:-
Name of Created Variable:- instanceUID
Regular Expression:- "InstanceUid":"(.*?)"
Template:-$1$
Match No:-1
Default Value:- (Blank)
The value that I want to pass in the next POST request is visible as:-
instanceUID_g1=2ab5dfb8-a217-4ff2-9025-523565b7b7ad
And the body for the next HTTP POST request is set like this:-
${"iInfo":{"InstanceUid":"${instanceUID_g1}","Registry":"${Registry}"}}
When this request seen in detail inside View Results Tree looks like:-
${"iInfo":{"InstanceUid":"${instanceUID_g1}","Registry":"AAX"}}
As seen the value of ${instanceUID_g1} did not get substituted in the POST body as was for variable ${Registry} which was taken from CSV config.
Being new to Jmeter can anyone suggest what did I miss?
Most probably your Regular Expression Extractor placement is not very correct, be informed about JMeter Scoping Rules concept
If you place Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the request - it will be applied to this request only
If you place Regular Expression Extractor at the same level as several requests - it will be applied to all of them
in the latter case it will be applied 1st to 1st sampler, then to Debug Sampler, then to 3rd sampler so on 2nd step it will be overwritten, most probably that's your problem
Also it appears that you're getting the data from JSON so it makes more sense to use JSON Extractor or JMESPath Extractor
I have a series of interconnected pages to test using JMeter. The problem is that the initial page has a Javascript variable in source section which is more of a session variable. This variable is passed in the URL for subsequent pages.
So basically I would like to fetch this javascript variable when I load the initial page from the source section and pass it to next URL(s).
Is there a way I can achieve this using JMeter.
Are you able to see the session variable in the response of initial page?
(in view result tree listener)
If yes, then correlate this value and pass the variable in to next request (use regular expression extractor for fetching the value, still if you are finding some issue in correlating the value than please share the response of first request over here so that I can provide you regx for that)
People mostly Regular Expression Extractor to fetch dynamic values from previous responses, in general the process looks like:
Add Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the request which returns desired data
Use Perl5-style regular expression to match what you're looking for
Provide a template to choose match group - ususally $1$ if you looking for a single value
Provide a reference name to refer the extracted value, i.e. foo
Use extracted value as ${foo} where required
You can visualise JMeter Variables using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination.
The easiest way to debug your regular expressions is using View Results Tree listener in "RegExp Tester mode"
See How to debug your Apache JMeter script article for more information on troubleshooting your JMeter test.
In my application while executing the first request one unique key is generated which key is required for Next all the request. let me how to automate such scenario in Jmeter.
The process should look as follows:
Add Post Processor to the first request
Configure it to extract the required value and store it into a JMeter Variable
Use JMeter Variable from step 2 in your next request.
Depending on response data type you have the following choices:
Regular Expression Extractor - for text
CSS/JQuery Extractor - for HTML
XPath Extractor - for XML and XHTML
JSON Path Extractor - for JSON
It is also possible to extract data from files i.e. if response is in PDF format, but it's a little bit tricky
Example configuration to store the whole response:
Reference Name: any suitable variable name, i.e. response
Regular Expression: (?s)(^.*)
Template: $1$
You can refer the extracted value as ${response} where required. You can also amend the regular expression to extract response part instead of the whole response. JMeter uses Perl5-compatible regular expressions, see Regular Expressions User Manual Chapter for details
You can use regular expression extractor to extract the key from the response of your first request and use the extracted key for subsequent requests. To achieve this:
Right click on the first request and add post processor: Regular Expression Extractor.
Create your regular expression and provide values in other required fields. Please refer to JMeter component reference http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Regular_Expression_Extractor
Extracted value will be saved in the variable given as reference name
Use this variable in subsequent requests
Here is an example test plan with results.
i need your help with a problem i encounter with jmeter
i need to create the following:
Enter a web page
Save from the response of the page a parameter
Use this parameter to enter another page
someone have an answer to my problem
thanks
A bit generic, but here goes:
HTTP sampler to make the request
Regular Expression Extractor (or Xpath) post processor to get the
data you need from the response.
HTTP sampler using variable from step 2

Ophir is correct.
Extract the parameter using regular expression extractor and the parameter value can be put into next request using the reference name specified in regular expression extractor.
eg: https://www.example.com/search?q=${reference},
Hope these links will help you.

I am using Jmeter for my performance testing and I am stuck at the point where I need to extract the value from the URL and pass it to Jmeter.
Here is the example:
Application requires user to create an order and then submit it on the next page
I am at a point where I can create an order using Jmeter.
In order to create a script to submit an order I have copied the url from the web page as passed it as a GET method '/order/submit/23'. This '23' number changes everytime I create a new order
The issue I am having here is when I run my jmeter script it creates another order with another number which then mismatch with the '/order/submit/23' url I have passed.
Is there any way to extract this number from the HTML code and pass it to Jmeter?
I looked into the HTML code and this number is a part of URL so not sure how I can extract it. Any suggestions please
I am looking for something like /order/submit/${var}
Thanks
If I understood you correctly, you need to extract some value from response. You can do it with two samplers:
XPath Extractor
RegEx extractor
I think xpath extractor more appropriate in your case
