Could you pls let me know how do i pass variable if the URL is dynamic based on your search value in jmeter? - jmeter

When is search for an item by giving its id the url i get is http://aa.bb.com/bikes/2 or http://aa.bb.com/bikes/3,
the value after bikes is dynamic based on my search results and corresponding page is displayed. How do i parameterize this in Jmeter?
I am using HTTP request sampler.
I added a csv config file, gave different ids and added these values in the parameter part and used the parameter variable in the URL path. But it is not working.
EX: the url path i gave as /aa.bb.com/bikes/${id} but its not working.

You can add 'debug sampler' to narrow down the root cause.

i figured out the way to do this.
I just mentioned the possible id values in a csv file.
Used the variable name in the url.
Ex: I created a idValues.csv file and used this file in CSV data set config.
Gave the variable name as value.
now in the HttpSampler in the path i mentioned as http://aa.bb.com/bikes/${value} and it worked.
Thank you.

JMeter how to select randomely from a extracted set of values

I have a requirement to use randome url from a url list I extract from a json response.
Say I extract them in this mannser
imageUrls_1=https://blah01.com
imageUrls_2=https://blah02.com
imageUrls_3=https://blah03.com
imageUrls_4=https://blah04.com
imageURLs_matchNr=4
In a following JSSR223 sampler I was able to generate a variable called "url" with one of the url names selected randomely
("imageUrls_1","imageUrls_2",etc)
I was thinking to use them in my HTTP request to get the correcponding url as follows. ${${url}}. But soon found out its not giving me anything other than "${${url}}" :(.
JMeter Is it possible to place a varibale inside a varible name?
Basically I need to use one of the extracted urls randomely in my HTTP request.
The easiest way is going for __V() and __Random() functions combination like:
${__V(imageUrls_${__Random(1,${imageURLs_matchNr},)},)}
Demo:
More information: Here’s What to Do to Combine Multiple JMeter Variables
Use __V function
${__V(url)}
The V (variable) function returns the result of evaluating a variable name expression.

How to read random data for each request in JMeter

I have 4 input parameters which I need to pass in my http request sampler. Everything is OK but the problem is how to first data i have to pass from the previous thread http response and rest 3 from the csv file. Please help.
It seems that you want to update a specific value of the CSV during execution. It would be wise to say that this can be achieved using if controller and User Parameters element. You can go through the below screenshots to resolve this problem.
CSV Data set config for reading csv values
CSV File
Here, I have added text "REPLACE_WITH_RESPONSE" so that we can match it in IF controller.
IF CONTROLLER
This will check if you want to replace this value or not.
Users Parameters
This element would be used to update the csv value with previous request response. In the below example, Date is the CSV value which is replaced with previous Response.
Hope the above solution will help you in resolving this problem.

How to hit parameterized url in Apache Jmeter?

This is my test URL " http://appr.seconddemo.org/hitssurveys/survey?uid=113&offerid=311&subid=subvalues&offr_id={Email} "
I want to hit the url 1500 times per second , and want to change the "{Email}" with real value in each iteration.
How it's possible please give me a step by step guide.
Considering that you need to pass the emails from the external file, the most efficient way that we are using in software testing companies is to pass the variable from .csv or .txt files using 'CSV Data Set Config' element of the JMeter.
Please find the steps that you need to follow:
Add a 'CSV Data Set Config' element from 'Config Element' by right-clicking the thread group
Set Filename field with complete path to your .csv or .txt file that contains your emails
Set Variable field as 'Email' [This variable name should be same as you set in your url request]
Ignore first line to False
Set other fields as per your requirement
Now add HTTP Sampler in your Thread Group and set the Protocol, Server Name, Method & Path as instructed in the screenshot:
Create .csv or .txt file and add all emails separated by new line:
Hope this answer is useful.
You can use the CSV Data Set Config. Put all your email credentials in the CSV file and make sure you have put this CSV file in your JMeter /bin directory.
Add a CSV dataset config in your test plan. Your CSV dataset config should be like:
Now in your thread group, define the number of threads you want to execute and then in your sampler put the path as follows:
http://appr.seconddemo.org/hitssurveys/survey?uid=113&offerid=311&subid=subvalues&offr_id=${Email}
Depending on where do your emails live there are following options:
If they are in a text file, each email on a new line you can use __StringFromFile() function like:
If they are in a database you can use JDBC PreProcessor to fetch the data from the database table column and put your request under ForEach Controller
If you need to provide just some random characters you can use __RandomString() function.

Jmeter doesn't resolve parameter (from CSV Data Set Config) into request

Is try to use the CSV Data Set Config to insert a different username password for each Thread.
When posting to a login page the value of the password variable isn't resolved. The username variable is no problem. The variable is correctly loaded into the Thread because the Debug Sampler is showing the correct value for the password. I already tried to change the name of the variable, perhaps it clashes with some other variable name, but that didn't work.
Perhaps it's because the password field is a different type of input field?
Please let me know if need to clarify this more.. :)
Screenshot to clarify the situation:
1 - CSV-File
2- CSV Data Set Config
3 - Result Debug Sampler
4 - HTTP Request of the login page
5 - Result of the send request to the login page
Because here the variable isn't translated to the value the login process fails.
In your CSV Data Set Config element, in Variable Names (comma-delimited) field you have usernamecsv, pwdcsv... You need to remove space after comma!
usernamecsv, pwdcsv ---> usernamecsv,pwdcsv
This will solve your problem.

How to extract value passed in the URL and use it as parameter in Jmeter?

I am using Jmeter for my performance testing and I am stuck at the point where I need to extract the value from the URL and pass it to Jmeter.
Here is the example:
Application requires user to create an order and then submit it on the next page
I am at a point where I can create an order using Jmeter.
In order to create a script to submit an order I have copied the url from the web page as passed it as a GET method '/order/submit/23'. This '23' number changes everytime I create a new order
The issue I am having here is when I run my jmeter script it creates another order with another number which then mismatch with the '/order/submit/23' url I have passed.
Is there any way to extract this number from the HTML code and pass it to Jmeter?
I looked into the HTML code and this number is a part of URL so not sure how I can extract it. Any suggestions please
I am looking for something like /order/submit/${var}
Thanks
If I understood you correctly, you need to extract some value from response. You can do it with two samplers:
XPath Extractor
RegEx extractor
I think xpath extractor more appropriate in your case
