When I pass an integer value from command line -Jvalue = 100, Jmx script reads teh value if I use it in user defined variable like ${__P(value)} or ${__P(value,2)}
When I pass a string value -Jvalue=jmeter, JMX script does not take the value..
Can you pls help me on this?
Remove spaces around =, it needs to be
value=100
or
value=jmeter
All the properties values passed via command line arguments or user.properties file are treated as strings.
Also if you set the same property twice, only last value will be considered.

I have a variable that I use in my API's header.
It contains many special characters in that string so JMeter cannot digest the value.
'myCode' variable I plan to use in CLI (NON-GUI) mode so I need to be able to control it.
Sometimes I see also double or single quotes ('"' and "'")in the string so it can be a case that I need to deal with this
Any ideas on how to handle this?
${__P(myCode,0$M#3C3dKLo&1=9gIYP#CvC5.sWNvDD2mTWmn)=uoj}peA6W8?ry]s/Tn}J{C:Z%,J?M0+{&&ywi]3wM"1lG(&!q++88b1B>I2G1=+cso}trWmOSIo]INi^&%&^GYUFFsgdnJ.TsPTM[Jq+g2CWKvRZ495G0DqH>Yj%sUPqhj2aCmbWun)}
JMeter can "digest" the value, if you're trying to override the property via -J command-line argument - refer to your shell documentation as some characters might need escaping.
Another option is defining your property in user.properties file or in a completely separate file and using __FileToString() function to read it
I am trying to parameterize my request using CSV Data Set Config. My input includes double quotes("), colon(:) and brackets([])
Eg: fiscal_year ":["2021",2019]"
Had tried with it, but in the actual results its passing as "fiscal_year "":[""2021""
Please share your inputs on what am i missing on the input paramter.
I don't think it's due to double quotes("), colon(:) and brackets([]), CSV stands for comma-separated values so JMeter treats it as a delimiter and reads everything including to the first comma.
So you might want to change the "Delimiter" to something else:
It's hard to come up with a comprehensive solution without seeing at least couple of lines from your CSV file and the way you're parameterizing the HTTP Request with JMeter Variables
In case you have one entry per line in the CSV file it might be easier to go for __StringFromFile() function which reads next line from the file each time it's being called. See Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction for more information.
I need to capture some values from Response data and add them to the same CSV file which is used to generate HTML reports (not to a separate CSV file). The reason I want to do this is to filter the Response times by any value I capture, in this case LOBs or GroupIDs (last 2 columns). In the picture, column A thru P are from JMeter generated results, but I want to add column Q and R also with captured values.
Results
Add a suitable Post-Processor to extract LOBs and GroupIDs, make sure to use exactly the same variable reference name:
Add the next line to user.properties file:
sample_variables=LOBs,GroupIDs
That's it, next time you start JMeter you will see 2 extra columns added to the .jtl results file containing variable values for each Sample Result.
If you don't want to make the change permanent instead of adding the above line to the user.properties file you can pass it via -J command-line argument like:
jmeter -Jsample_variables=LOBs,GroupIDs -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl

I am using JMeter 5.1.1.
I have a CSV file looks like this
When I call HTTP Request like this
I get this
Jmeter doesn't take the value but just pass the name of the variable to the URI.
But if I take the second column CustomerParam by putting ${CustomerParam} , then JMeter will grab the value (instead of the name of the variable).
I am wondering how can I get the values of the first column ?
Thanks.
I found the root cause.
When creating the CSV file using the newest Microsoft Excel 365 , save it as CSV , not CSV UTF-8.
When I saved the file using CSV, JMeter works perfectly fine. But when I saved it using CSV UTF-8, then the issue I described earlier does appear.
If Variables are referenced as follows:
${VARIABLE}
If an undefined function or variable is referenced, JMeter does not report/log an error - the reference is returned unchanged. For example, if UNDEF is not defined as a variable, then the value of ${UNDEF} is ${UNDEF}.
Input the Variable name in your CSV Data Set Config as follows (If your CSV data set looks exactly above where variable names are present in the first line):
Or, you can just remove the variable names from the first line of your CSV file and make the config as below:
I cannot reproduce your issue using the same CSV Data Set config:
The evidence that the variables have been read (assumes Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination)
So double check the following:
Your CSV file integrity as it might be an issue with the data itself, i.e. if there is a BOM at the beginning - you will have to remove it as the BOM will be added to the first variable name (use aforementioned Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener to verify which variables are defined)
An problem with the CSV file operating-system wise (i.e. typo in location or file permission issue). Normally JMeter should report any errors connected with failure of reading the CSV file in jmeter.log
From a csv file, I need to pass
224,329,429
as a single value to one of the parameter in HTTP request.
I have parameterized using CSV data config. But, only 224 is getting passed.
I want 224,329,429 to be treated as a single value.
Please let me know how do I achieve this. Should I change anything in CSV config or CSV file to make this work?
Just use __StringFromFile() function instead of using CSV Data Set Config.
The __StringFromFile() function reads next line from the file each time it's being called so it seems to be a lot easier to stick to it for particular your scenario.
The syntax is as simple as ${__StringFromFile(/path/to/your/file.csv,,,)} and the function can be used anywhere in the script, i.e. directly in the request parameter section.
See Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction to get started with the JMeter Functions concept and comprehensive information on the above and other JMeter functions.
You should change your delimiter to a not used character e.g. #
In that way you will be able to get full line for every request
Use ${__FileToString(dummy.csv,,payloadvar)} function. It makes the file independent that mean you can use any file extension example: .txt, .csv, .excel etc..
Just keep the string in dummy.csv and it will fetch the whole string.
benefit of using this function is, it will not consider comma's so in case your string has comma separated values then this is the best option.
Just use %2C in the place of comma.
