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.

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
See Performance Testing: Upload and Download Scenarios with Apache JMeter article for more information on simulating file upload/download events in JMeter web tests.
I'm using Jmeter to perform load test on Moodle application
I followed the below steps to replicate a simple "add company " test scenario
1: Recorded the browser actions through HTTP Test script recorder and created a test plan with thread user of 1
2: Added HTTP Cache Manager,Added regular expression extractor for retrieving dynamically generated session for login HTTP request.
For Http request of adding new company, addded user parameters containing new company name
I run the test, everything seems ok in the view results tree- response section (response code: 200,response message:OK), all the required variables are passed in the HTTP POST
PROBLEM: New company added through Jmeter test is not reflected in UI of the moodle action
Can any of you please let me know
Is there something I could be missing or anyway I can debug the problem?
P.S: I'm new to Jmeter and looked around a lot for data inputted through Jmeter not being displayed in the UI of the web application,dint find useful results.
The answer to questions of this sort is almost always that you missed some necessary dynamic value besides session ID which you did catch.
An HTTP200 response just means the server returned a "good" response. Which could also happily contain an error message.
I would check the actual html body of the returned response for any errors. Checking the log on the server side can give you clues to what went wrong sometimes. You should also try adding a cookie manager.
Run your test with 1 virtual user in GUI mode with View Results Tree listener enabled and inspect responses to see where your scripts fails. My expectation is that you simply cannot log in.
See Moodle-JMeter-LoadTest.jmx file for reference, it uses XPath Extractor to get session key and course id.
I don't think you can test using JMeter. Try JUnit Test cases instead http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/junitsampler_tutorial.pdf
I am running a JMeter script to hit a web page that opens another link to a shopping cart. There are a few different urls that JMeter recorded for me using the HTTP Script Recorder. When running the JMeter script, I receive no errors in any logs ( JMeter log and a few summary report / View results tree logs ). I even added a Constant Timer to some of the pages that do actually take a few seconds to load when hitting them manually in a web browser. In the end, I cannot see what is happening, but JMeter also does not indicate any errors. How can I confirm that each url hit is actually succeeding so that the shopping cart actually gives me my item when JMeter is done?
If JMeter is able to make a http request successfully, it will be always green in View Results Tree (200 http code). It does not mean that your test is correct - ie even if the login is not successful JMeter does not report it as error/failure unless you validate the response.
I think you need assertions to ensure that the http response you get is as you are expecting.
I attempted to record a file upload in JMeter, using port 8888, but the file failed to upload when using JMeter as the proxy ( Recording Controller and HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder ). I also tried to run this from within JMeter by choosing "Start" and viewing what I had just recorded in the View Results Tree listener. When I ran it this way, I received a 500 error for the file upload line in the View Results Tree listener.
So, I ran Charles network proxy while doing the file upload to see if the same thing happened. It did not. I was able to successfully upload the file going through the Charles network proxy on the same port 8888.
Furthermore, I took out all proxies and did the file upload successfully.
Only when I use JMeter as the proxy do I have a problem uploading the file.
In JMeter, after first running it with no changes, I then tried to change many settings like Implementation, Content Encoding, Browser-campatible headers, Retrieve All Embedded Resources, and many others to see if this would help, but it did not.
So, my gut tells me that there is a setting that is set incorrectly.
I found this post that talks about changing to use "Java" in the HTTP Request Defaults. ( Unable to upload image/file when using Jmeter HTTP Proxy server ) This did not help me though when I tried that.
I found this post also which mentions some other types of things ( Unable to record an upload file scenario in JMeter though it is possible by manual effort with specific browser settings ) . I did check the headers against Charles and they look the same.
Any ideas?
============= Edit below is adding the test plan screen shot===============
During recording you need to put the file you want to upload in jmeter/bin folder.
This is due to some limitations of browsers which do not transmit the full path.
So, apparently, I had to remove the parameters from the "Path" line and move them to the "Send Parameters With the Request:" for the line that I had the 500 error on ( the highlighted line in the screen shot I had attached above ).
In summary, here is what happened. When I recorded the file upload with JMeter using the Recording Controller and HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, JMeter had put all of the parameters in the "Path" field for me on many of the lines that JMeter had recorded for me. I did not even think twice about what JMeter had done automatically for me. So, after I removed all text except "/" in the "Path" field and added each parameter one at a time under "Send Parameters With the request", I received a "200" status code on the line that had given me the problem. I also went into all other lines and made these same changes for the parameters. I still am not sure if the file upload is actually working, but I don't care about that right now since I did get a "200" on the line that was giving me a problem. That is enough progress to keep me moving ahead... :-).
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
