please could you give me an example on how to use a while loop to keep checking (polling) if my HTTP GET request (REST api call) has returned the successful response or not. Say for example, third attempt brings the successful response and I come out of the loop, How do I measure the time it has taken?
Please use While controller:
1) init counter JSR223 Sampler --> vars.put("counter","1");
2) while controller
3) inside while controller put your HTTP get
4) put a regex to retrieve what you are looking for (or JSON extractor)
5) Another JSR223 Assertion to check the result of what you retreived
if(!detail.equals("REGEX_FAILED")){
......
}
7) timer so you wait
8) increment counter

I have test plan with following request in sequence with 2 loops.
ApiHttp request
Mqtt request
I need to run 1st loop & verify API reaponse is true or false:
If it's true, run Mqtt request , else start the 2nd loop and same verify the API response, if it's true run Mqtt else stop.
In above scenarios, I put beanshell to read the API response:
vars.put("response", new String(data));
But don't know how to verify of its true or false & execute the Mqtt. Any help pls.
Add If Controller as the very first test element under the Thread Group and use the __groovy() function as the condition:
${__groovy(vars.getIteration() <= 2,)}
Put ApiHttp request as a child of the If Controller
Add another If Controller after the ApiHttp request and use the following __groovy() function as the condition:
${__groovy(ctx.getPreviousResult().getResponseDataAsString().contains('true'))}
Add Mqtt request as a child of the If Controller
Add Flow Control Action sampler after the Mqtt request and configure it like:
First switch from Beanshell to JSR223 Test elements and use Groovy.
Use If Controller and just put in it:
${response}
To stop the test based on iteration number, be aware that a Loop Controller exposes iteration as a variable based on name of variable, for example if your LoopController is named LC, then you can access iteration as:
vars["__jm__LC__idx"].toInteger()
And to stop a test from Groovy using JSR223 Assertion you can throw:
throw new org.apache.jorphan.util.JMeterStopTestException();
See:
https://jmeter.apache.org/api/org/apache/jorphan/util/JMeterStopTestException.html
I have to performance test an application which does a PDF to PNG image conversion. For that, I have 3 requests to be sent, ie, 1 POST and 2 GET requests. My requirement is to measure the performance of one the GET request which does the conversion part and downloads the converted PNG file. Note that this GET request that download the image is dependent on the other POST and the GET request which checks the status of the job. The full work flow in a nutshell is as follows:
Send a POST request to trigger a job to generate a unique identifier string.
Using the string value generated in step 1 above, the GET request checks the status of creation of a PDF document. Since this process has dependencies, the GET request polls until a status of 'Complete' is returned in its response. If the response status is not 'Complete', then we have to retry this GET request.
And finally, once the response from step 2 is returned as 'Complete', the GET request to convert the generated PDF to PNG image has to be triggered.
So 3 requests above are dependent to each other and has to run sequentially as the input for one is the output of the previous request. So we have to run this in the same order (1__> 2 --> 3) for the entire duration of the performance test.
I have tried using the While controller, however, the issue I am facing is, the sampler inside the While controller (ie GET request in step 2 which checks the status) is getting executed only for a limited number of times and not for the entire test duration.
The jmx file I have created is as follows:
Test Plan{
Thread Group{
POST Request sampler{ //step 1
//stores unique string response to variable
}
User Defined variable (initialize a Status variable to null string, initialize a counter variable)
While Controller(condition '${__javaScript("${Status}" == "" && (${counter} < 4),)}')
{
GET Request Sampler { //step 2
Regular expression extractor to get the status from response and store to variable
}
JSR223 Post processor { //to check if the status value = 'Complete', otherwise set status back to null string
/*
String status = vars.get("labelStatus")
if(status.equals("Complete")){
log.info("Label Status is Complete");
}
else{
vars.put("labelStatus","")
}
*/
}//end of JSR223 post processor
}//end of while loop
GET Request sampler to download the PNG image //step 3
} // end of Thread Group
}//end of Test Plan
screenshot of my Jmeter script:
Ideally for each POST request I make (step 1), there should be a corresponding GET request (step 2) which checks for a particular status in response. If the response contains the matching text, then have to exit the while loop and continue with the next sampler (ie GET request in step 3 above) in the thread group. This needs to be repeated in each iteration.
As per your While Controller condition its children will be executed while ${Status} variable is empty or 4 times, whatever comes the first.
I fail to see where do you update the value of the ${Status} variable, it might be the case you made a typo and need to change it to ${labelStatus}?
I would recommend using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination in order to check the values of ${labelStatus} and ${counter} variables for each While Controller's iteration
Also pay attention to JMeter Scoping Rules as your last JSR223 PostProcessor is being executed after every sampler in the Thread Group and this is something you might want to change.
The services I'm trying to test, will work on long pooling method.
They won't give results in first response.
When I run my API script I am not getting full response in first time.
How can I wait in this case for the remaining portion of response to be received?
I want to use values from this response into next call..
In the above screen my response should wait when complete:True
As far as I understand your requirement you need to repeat the Gethotels request until complete attribute becomes true.
In order to accomplish this:
Add a JSON Extractor as a child of the Gethotels request and set it up as follows:
Put your Gethotels request under the While Controller and use the following __jexl3() function as the condition:
${__jexl3("${complete}" != "true",)}
That's it, While Controller loop the Gethotels request until complete becomes true
I am seeking help on how to break while controller loop when I got successful response.
Steps:-
1. I have a while controller where I kept below logic
${__javaScript((${controller} < 5),)}
2. And inside while controller I have created http request which return response.
This request takes some time to give result.if this request is still
running it will return status code 202.. and if this request is completed it will give 200.(I have another API to check this)
So here I dont know when it will get success.
for that after each request I have kept waiting time.
So when I call first time after while loop.. its giving 202(because its still running)
and I will continue this process till 5 times..
So here there is chance I can get 200 success code at 3rd request.
So what I want here is I would like to break the loop after that..I dont want to run till 5 times.
I am using below code to read the response.
if (status_code == "200"){
AssertionResult.setFailure(false);
}
So when I get the 200 from response it should stop and get success
and if I dont get 200 from response in all 5 attempts, it should get failed.
Add Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the API request and configure it as follows:
this will extract the API HTTP Status code and store it into ${responseCode} variable
Amend your While Controller's Condition to use the following __jexl3() function
${__jexl3(${__jm__While Controller__idx} < 5 && "${responseCode}" != "200",)}
That's it, assuming above setup your While Controller will break in 2 cases:
Response code is 200
API request is executed 5 times
More information: Using the While Controller in JMeter
I am designing a load test in JMeter.
With the current application that we have whenever a HTTP request is sent, the web server will very occasionally send back a page with a message. To get around this we just have to reload the page. This page could come up for literally any HTTP request.
Is there any way to design a test in JMeter where when a sampler fails, the sampler simply retries?
I'm not sure how I can get a Beanshell sampler to resend a HTTP request.
It is possible via additional Beanshell Assertion
You can re-run arbitrary sampler from the Beanshell Assertion as simple as
ctx.getCurrentSampler().sample(null);
Add a Beanshell Assertion after all other assertions. It matters as assertions are being executed upside-down.
Put the following code into Beanshell Assertion's "Script" area (just change "message" to what your server returns on error.
import org.apache.jmeter.samplers.SampleResult;
if (new String(ResponseData).equals("message")) {
SampleResult result = ctx.getCurrentSampler().sample(null);
if (result.getResponseDataAsString().equals("message")) {
Failure = true;
} else {
SampleResult.setSuccessful(true);
}
}
You'll have only one result recorded.
If assertion passes 1st time - it'll be successful
If assertion fails 1st time and passes 2nd time - it'll be successful
If assertion fails 2 times - it'll be recorded as failed.
For extended information on Beanshell scripting check out How to use BeanShell: JMeter's favorite built-in component guide.
Create such hierarchy:
Thread Group (1 user, 1 second ramp-up, forever)
-While Controller (empty condition = forever)
--Counter (start – 1, increment – 1, reference name – counter)
--HTTP request
---Timer (I prefer constant Timer, responseble for pause betwee retrying)
---BeanShell Post Processor
BeanShell Post Processor should contains(pseudo code):
if(Integer.parseInt(vars.get("counter")>5)
{
prev.setSuccessful(false);
prev.setStopTestNow(true);
}
if(successCondition)
{
prev.setStopTest(true);
}
There is no direct way to achieve it, but I think you can use While controller in conjuction with Regex extractor to resend the failed requests.
Logical flow could be,
1. HTTP request
2. Regex extractor post processor - check response contains failure extract value in msg variable, default is success
3. While controller - run till msg=failure, default value of msg is success

Let me know if this works.
