Hi All / Dimitri T Could you please post your valuable thoughts on extracting corresponding Values (For example ItemID1 and ItemSlot1) in one block of code randomly. I was able to write below Jsr223 postprocessor code and it is working fine. But when there are Blank spaces in ItemSlot id, then they are not fetching. From below code , i am passing ${rannum} under "Match No" in required regular expression.
Note: There will be more than 100 corresponding values. In some cases, we won't have ItemSlot1.i.e Blank/null values are appearing from server response. Hence, my script is not picking corresponding values.
Application Server Response:
"viewSaleListingLink": "https://Example.com/cars/item/search/-/listing/ItemID1/100011142",
"saleCountry": "",
"saleNote": "",
"bidLiveUrl": "https://Example.com/cars//registration?p_p_id=RegistrationPortlet_WAR_PWRWeb&p_p_lifecycle=1&p_p_state=normal&ItemSlot1=103009468",
JSR223PostProcessor Code
import java.math.MathContext;
import java.math.RoundingMode;
// Read occurance values from pervious response
def Max = Integer.parseInt( vars.get("ItemID1_matchNr"));
int min=1;
int rannum = min + (int) (Math.random() * ((Max - min) + 1));
log.info("Values id ="+rannum);
vars.put("rannum",rannum.toString());
enter image description here
If you need to extract a random match/pair of matches from the response using Regular Expression Extractor - it's sufficient just to provide 0 as the "Match No" and it will automatically fetch the random match group so you won't have to write any code:
Also be aware that Post-Processors are executed in the order they appear (upside down) so:
If your JSR223 PostProcessor is above the Regular Expression Extractor - ItemID1_matchNr will be undefined
If your JSR223 PostProcessor is below the Regular Expression Extractor - your rannum variable won't have any value
Also your response seems to be JSON so it makes sense switching to JSON JMESPath Extractor which is more powerful and convenient
Using Bean Shell Sampler, I am getting response data as
"tjH9/c05vDE3/Bg2R/fqyR5W7MR31GUmqLb/it36smrsPq4xvM6MhfqP5haE9nzSnzm7+vUXdeKiXzygKtAW4CgEk29c/m8hSvl5isHeFca+V35/AMMKAvjvXq6gbSL5k0ujIymbmnJ2rUgIOHEm6K5YgvJ0ZWAoHcW+Tsk7HqgSYQGz5EBVGsoYVbbd0l/TZEVlbMPYSuKKcEV6ykja8lgmt8Llww9qbgTKwVU6eNVqW7PSjkllJvJtj+j5swbMSZ7/Huisg/deGMo/NlSKnFK1Ym8QTv5agxgKlxWTNboccNoqvgzCOEfn/wG84moKpZiAH4cLagt3kyWVJaix4A=="
Note: The above response data is not in Json. I need to extract the same data as is ( above mentioned) using Regular expression / any other expression to pass the same to the subsequent request.
Is it Possible?
If you want to extract everything from the parent sampler response you can use the following Regular Expression:
(?s)(^.*)
Explanation:
() = grouping
(?s) = single line modifier
^ = line start
. = wild-card character
* = repetition

Regular expression is fetching 9 values
Need to add all these ticked values with comma separation in next request.How can we do this in J meter
How can we pass multiple values extracted via regular expression to next request in JMeter
Can you please share some snippet of the HTML response, I'd like to help you with the answer. Also, at times, using an XPath expression in an XPath Extractor can be easier to work with.
If the reference name for is set to VALUE, then you can access each of the 9 matched values as VALUE_1, VALUE_2, ...... VALUE_9
Given you configure your Regular Expression Extractor as follows:
Reference Name: arg_name
Regular Expression: `arg_names" value="(.+?)"
Template: $1$
Match No.: -1
You will get JMeter Variables like:
arg_name_1=foo
arg_name_2=bar
arg_name_3=baz
arg_name_matchNr=3
Now you should be able to concatenate the values using the following __groovy() function:
${__groovy(def builder = new StringBuilder(); 1.upto(Integer.parseInt(vars.get("arg_name_matchNr"))) { builder.append(vars.get("arg_name_" + it)).append("\,") }; builder.toString(),)}

I am using Jmeter for performance testing and stuck at following point:
I am getting a JSON response from Webapi as follows:
PersonInfoList:
Person
[0]
{
id: 1
name: Steve
}
[1]
Person
{
id: 2
name: Mark
}
I need to get the ids based on the count of this JSON array and create a comma separated string as ("Expected value" = 1,2)
I know how to read a particular element using JSON Post processor or Regex processor but am unable to loop through the array and create a string as explained so that I can use this value in my next sampler request.
Please help me out with this: I am using Jmeter 3.0 and if this could be achieved without using external third party libs that would be great. Sorry for the JSON syntax above
Actually similar functionality comes with JSON Path PostProcessor which appeared in JMeter 3.0. In order to get all the values in a single variable configure JSON Path PostProcessor as follows:
Variable Names: anything meaningful, i.e. id
JSON Path Expressions: $..id or whatever you use to extract the ids
Match Numbers: -1
Compute concatenation var (suffix _ALL): check
As a result you'll get id_ALL variable which will contain all JSON Path expression matches (comma-separated)
More "universal" answer which will be applicable for any other extractor types and in fact will allow to concatenate any arbitrary JMeter Variables is using scripting (besides if you need this "expected value and parentheses)
In order to concatenate all variables which names start with "id" into a single string add Beanshell PostProcessor somewhere after JSON Path PostProcessor and put the following code into "Script" area
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
result.append("(\"Expected value\" = ");
Iterator iterator = vars.getIterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry e = (Map.Entry) iterator.next();
if (e.getKey().matches("id_(\\d+)")) {
result.append(e.getValue());
result.append(",");
}
}
result.append(")");
vars.put("expected_value", result.toString());
Above code will store the resulting string into ${expected value} JMeter Variable. See How to Use BeanShell: JMeter's Favorite Built-in Component article for more information regarding bypassing JMeter limitations using scripting and using JMeter and Java API from Beanshell test elements.
Demo:
I need to extract the dynamic value "BSS1,DS1,HYS1,MS1,PTS1,QS1,USG1,YS1,RT10086,RT10081,RT10084,RT10082,OT10076,RT10083,UT10081,RT10085,"
from the string response "ACCOUNT_DETAIL_ACCOUNT_PRODUCT_SERVICES_EDIT_UPDATE_NameSpace.grid.setSelectedKeys(["BSS1","DS1","HYS1","MS1","PTS1","QS1","USG1","YS1","RT10086","RT10081","RT10084","RT10082","OT10076","RT10083","UT10081","RT10085"]);"
I have tried using the regular expression extractor :
Regular Expression :Keys\(\[\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\",\"(.+?)\"]\)
template : $1$$2$$3$$4$$5$$6$$7$$8$$9$$10$$11$$12$$13$$14$$15$$16$
But the above regular expression works only if there are 16 values in the response. If the response contains less number of values, for example, "ACCOUNT_DETAIL_ACCOUNT_PRODUCT_SERVICES_EDIT_UPDATE_NameSpace.grid.setSelectedKeys(["BSS1","DS1"]);"
then the above regular expression doesn't work.
How can I extract the values in the response if the total count is unknown?
Also the double quotes in the response need to be omitted.
Is there any post processor using which dynamic values can be extracted?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I believe it will be easier with some scripting.
Add Beanshell PostProcessor as a child of the request which returns aforementioned response
Put the following code into the PostProcessor's "Script" area:
String response = new String(data);
String rawKeys = response.substring(response.indexOf("[") + 1, response.indexOf("]")); // get the data inside square brackets
String keysWithoutQuotes = rawKeys.replaceAll("\"", ""); // remove quotes
String[] keyData = keysWithoutQuotes.split("\\,"); // get array of keys
for (int i = 0; i < keyData.length; i++) { // store array of keys into JMeter variables like
vars.put("Keys_" + (i +1), keyData[i]); // Keys_1=BSS1, Keys_2=DS1, etc.
}
vars.put("Keys_matchNr", String.valueOf(keyData.length)); // set Keys_matchNr variable
Where:
data is byte array containing parent sampler's response data
vars is a shorthand to JMeterVariables class which provides read/write access to JMeter Variables.
As a result you'll have variables like:
Keys_1=BSS1
Keys_2=DS1
..
Keys_matchNr=X
