Test 'download a file using Jmeter': On the web page, there is a button 'download' and clicking it downloads the file with .zip extension. When observed under Network tab of Developer tool (F12)>there are two requests: 1 is the application request which gives the response with link (aws-S3...) (if i copy paste this link, can download the zip file) and 2nd request shows the aws-S3..link. When need to perform this download performance testing with 100 users, how to configure in Jmeter. Please guide. below thing have been tried:
Record a script>it records the first request (not the 2nd request of network tab as mentioned above)
When run the script> this shows 200 code with response message as aws-S3..link
Tried Save response to file listener> nothing has been downloaded.
Extract the download link from 1st response using i.e. Regular Expression Extractor
Add put the JMeter Variable generated by the Regular Expression Extractor into "Path" input of the HTTP Request 2
Add Save Responses to a file listener as a child of the HTTP Request 2

Uploaded xml file content is not showing in the request body in Jmeter.
Jmeter version: 5.4.1
We have .xml file upload scenario, recorded using Blazemeter. After downloading the recorded script to Jmeter, necessary token co-relation and extracting required values using RegEx been done. Then tried to run the script, it fails at the upload request.
Recorded script doesn't have "FileUpload" tab with location. I updated with the file location too. As suggested in other queries/blogs, observed the traffic using other tools to see if any header value is missing and incorporated that too still it fails at upload request.
Observed that, the request body shows file content in other tools where as in Jmeter the file content is not shown.
ZAP tool request body:
Jmeter:
Also, the headers shows in green color, not sure if any specific reason to look at it under view results tree - http request.
Try re-recording the request (it may be a single request only, enable proxy just for it) using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, it should generate the HTTP Request sampler with "Files upload" section and Use multipart/form-data for POST box checked.
Just make sure to copy the XML file(s) you're uploading to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation prior to uploading the file, this way JMeter will be able to properly "catch" the request.

I am trying to upload tar.gz files into google cloud bucket using jmeter. Here i am using File management service, GCS & Jmeter.
Execution flow.
1. Using get Request i am hitting FMS.In response I'll get response message. this response contains the URL to upload the file to GCS.
2. Now the file SJ311.tar.gz file is uploaded in the folder iviu/SJ311 folder in GCS.
3. In GCS cloud function is written a code which will extract the .gz file & all .csv files should be extracted successfully.
Issue : through POSTMAN i am able to do this i.e. file is uploaded & it is decompressing the tar file but using jmeter file is uploaded successfully but its not extracting/decompressing.
If you're able to send the request using Postman and see that JMeter behaves differently than it means that you're not sending the same request using JMeter.
Most probably this is due to missing or incorrectly defined HTTP Header so make sure to compare each and every detail of the request and given you send the same requests you should get the same behaviour/response.
Going forward if something is working in Postman and not working in JMeter you can just record the relevant request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just configure Postman to use JMeter as the proxy and run your request, JMeter will capture it and properly build the HTTP Request sampler, add HTTP Header Manager, etc.
Just remember to copy the file(s) you will be uploading to the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation prior to recording, otherwise JMeter will not be able to capture the request.
Solution to the above question is, under File upload section-> under Parameter name field i added DOM attribute or webelement value for the "upload file" button which is present in Google cloud storage screen.
Now after removing that parameter value, file is getting uploaded successfully.
If we add the attribute value, file will get uploaded successfully but it will be corrupted.
Steps:
Login into application
Dashboard page will be loaded
Click on the "User Details" section
Select the file and click on the download button.
Windows POP-UP will prompt and will ask to SAVE the file.
File will start to download on to specified location
Downloading the file is nothing more than HTTP GET method, so given your configure HTTP Request sampler URL to point to the file you want to download:
JMeter will download the file when you run the test and measure the associated time.
You can also use Save Responses to a file listener if you are interested in the remote file content of plan to reuse the downloaded file later on.

I recorded a file uploading scenario and successfully saved in web application
now when i try to run recorded script by updating "send file with request" by some other file. there is no error seems in log but file is not getting upload in web application in case i run recorded script
Please Help!
enter image description here
First of all add View Results Tree listener and inspect "Request" and "Response Data" tabs. JMeter automatically considers requests with response code < 400 as successful so even if file upload didn't happen but browser responded with HTTP Code 200 (OK) - you won't see any errors or failed tests.
Usually ability to upload a file somewhere requires being authenticated (logged in). Try adding HTTP Cookie Manager to your test plan
Sometimes application under test uses dynamic parameters which are generated in runtime. So it won't be possible to record and successfully replay scenario. If you record the same request 2 times, inspect recorded requests and see the differences - it means you'll need to perform "correlation" - process of extracting dynamic parameters from previous response and adding them to next request. The most commonly used test element for this is Regular Expression Extractor.
I am working on upload file module that works on internet explorer only and it requires following browser setting mandatory:
"Include local directory path when uploading files to server" should be enabled.
A failure message "Unable to upload file" displays when we do not make required setting in browser while manual attempt else it works fine.
Now when I am trying to record the scenario in JMeter, getting same error message even I made required browser settings.
Note: Additionally, I tried to include these calls by copying from browser tools and paste it in JMeter transaction but get the same result in response.
Have any one experience the same or can help me out?
Thanks,
Nitin
Few things to consider:
Make sure that you use Java implementation of HTTP Request
Make sure that "Use multipart/form-data for POST" is checked
Make sure that you provide a file within "Send Files With the Request" field providing correct path, parameter name and mime-type
If all above has already been applied and you still experience problems I would recommend to capture the data being sent by Internet Explorer with a sniffer (Fiddler, Wireshark, etc.) and compare it to data, being sent by JMeter. They must be the same. If they aren't - you'll need to customize it using HTTP Header Manager, HTTP Cookie Manager, etc. If JMeter is not flexible enough to set all the required parameters via GUI, i.e. still tries to send full path of file instead of just filename or vice versa, you can always go deeper and manually build multi-part post request via Java Request Sampler (see SleepTest and JavaTest source code for details) or via Beanshell which is 100% compatible with Java syntax but may be harder to debug due to it's script nature.
Path to SleepTest and JavaTest files is follows:
/src/protocol/java/org/apache/jmeter/protocol/java/test/JavaTest.java
/src/protocol/java/org/apache/jmeter/protocol/java/test/SleepTest.java
JMeter sources are available from JMeter download page
Steps to upload the image using jmeter:
locate the image in bin folder Select Post method and check the "Use
multipart/form-data for POST" in HTTP Request
Provide details of Send files With the Request in HTTP Request
Record the Upload scenario and stop button in Jmeter (Image wouldn't upload while recording in Jmeter)
Now before running the script, Go to upload response and give the full path of image in "Send files with request field"
Now Run the script. You can able to see the image
