When i run the jmeter test scripts and save the results in a .jtl file,
all test results including the most recent results are always appended to the file.
How can i get only the results for the most recent test run?
The easiest way is to dump those reports to separate files with each run. For example you can do it by using __time function and adding date and time to the file name, so you can set filename as something like this:
${__time(dd-MM-yyyy hh-mm-ss)}.jtl

I am using the flexible file writer in Jmeter to write the four variables that I have captured and defined in the properties file. I have used the debug sampler to verify and view results of the values of each of the 4 variables that I have used.
But when I am trying to use number of threads as more than 3 or 5, I am getting garbled and multiple values of the variables in the same column of the output csv as:
But ideally I am expecting the result to be like:
Timestamp_Queued|Timestamp_Download_Started|Timestamp_Download_Completed|Timestamp_Completed
1623596826050 1623596829514 1623596829868 1623596830045
1623596826195 1623596826434 1623596826840 1623596827071
1623596826427 1623596827736 1623596828138 1623596828319
1623596826629 1623596830096 1623596830417 1623596830600
1623596826809 1623596827113 1623596827514 1623596827692
Can someone help please. I have tried using other JS to capture the data one below the other but I am not able to capture the data in the above way. I am sure Jmeter must have an easy way to accomplish this.
Thanks!
We cannot help you by looking at the screenshot of the result file, we need to see your configuration of the flexible file writer, know how do you launch your JMeter script, is there any suspicious entries in jmeter.log file, etc.
Given that:
You declare your variables as Sample Variables
Configure the Flexible File Writer to save these variables as variable#0,variable#1,etc
Run JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode
You should get the anticipated results

I'm running jmeter on a continuous integration platform from a repository and I need to generate both an xml .jtl file and csv .jtl file. Right now I am using -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml and a simple data writer writing to a csv file, but the csv file ends up not being formatted very well and same http calls on load tests don't get combined. If I could create log files for both that would be ideal.
What you’re doing looks correct to me.
What do you mean by csv not being formatted correctly ?
You could invert it by keeping output as csv and add a View Results Tree with filename set and in configure button, ensure you check all fields you need.
Of course, do this only in Non Gui mode.
I have a doubt.
I want to create "CVS file" with unique name in yy-mm-dd-time format for every run in JMeter.(multiple run) and send report via a mail.
How can i do this?
The Jmeter results can be either generated in .csv or .jtl extensions.
Append the following Jmeter in-built Function to your preferred result file name.
${__time(YMDHMS)}
For Example: TestResult_${__time(YMDHMS)}.csv OR TestResult_${__time(YMDHMS)}.jtl
The result file will be generated as: TestResult_20160224-112120.csv OR TestResult_20160224-112120.jtl
In parts of my test, I have some variables I dynamically create that simply capture some strings. I have jasmine-reporters set up and working, and writing to an output.xml file. How do I get any variables I create in my tests to write to that output file?
For example, if I do a search in my test, the results display number of lines in a string as part of what's returned. I do a getText() on that and store in a variable. I have figured out how to write to console, but it would be great to get it to write to the output file instead.
Yes like #bloveridge mentioned, jasmine does not allow you to add data from the tests into the report, and you should not try to do it as it's not the concern of the test reporter. If you want to use protractor to collect some kind of information while testing, you should write into your own (i.e. separate) file (http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html) in your test.
I'm new to jmeter.
I understand that I can edit jmeter.properties and specify the names of "custom" variables that jmeter will save into its output files, for any given test run.
I've edited jmeter.properties to include this line:
sample_variables=DURATION
and I've also edited my test plan to include a Regular Expression Extractor that extracts a value from each response and stuffs it into a variable of that name.
I also added a "Simple Data Writer" to tell jmeter to write the data it collects to a file.
The output file gets created successfully, but it does not contain the variable I extracted.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm finding this impossible to google, because "save jmeter variable" doesn't constrain the situation nearly enough.
My bad.
Jmeter was writing that variable out.
I had to restart jmeter to get it to work.
I was misled by looking at the top of the output file - it contained output from a prior run, prior to my restart of the tool. After I Removed the existing output file, the new content in the output file showed the variable I expected.
