In beanshell is it possible to dump the contents of the entire page into a String?
Something like:
String entirePage = vars.get(entire-page)
If you're doing it in Beanshell PostProcessor, it has data pre-defined variable which stands for byte array containing parent sampler response.
So something like:
String entirePage = new String(data);
vars.put("entire-page", entirePage);
should do the trick for you.
Another approach you can take is using Regular Expression Extractor. As per How to Extract Data From Files With JMeter guide regular expression which matches literally everything will look as (?s)(^.*)

I am new to JMeter, I want to fetch the 123 number from the below JSON response and store it in a variable. And user the value for further requests.
{"data":" Abcd efgh 123 successfully created","error":null,"info":null,"warn":null}
Can someone address to achieve it using BeanShell Postprocessor and Regular Expression Extractor or if any there is any other way to achieve the same.
Add Regular Expression Extractor Post-Processor as a child of the request which returns above JSON
Configure it as follows:
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. number
Regular Expression: (\d+) successfully created
Template: $1$
You will be able to refer the extracted value as ${number} or ${__V(number)} later on where required.

Using RegEx (Regular Expression Extractor) with JMeter
Also be aware that JMeter 3.0+ comes with JSON Extractor, it is not applicable for your current enquiry however if later on you will need to get the whole attribute value(s) it will be much easier to use it rather than regular expressions
Regular Expression Extractor with (\d+) is the simpliest.
Reference Name: myNumber
Regular Expression: (\d+)
Template `$1$`
Match No. `1`.
It will be saved in myNumber variable
How to pass jmeter response data (ex: getting response 295 without any lable) to next http request url path/body. This 3 digits/4 digits number is dynamically generated for every run and this value i have to use it for next API calls. Since this value is not having any lable/attribute name not sure how to extract this value. Please suggest.
Regular Expression Configuration:
Reference Name: anything
Regular Expression: (.+)
Template: $1$
Match No.(O for Random): 1
The Reference name should be passed as the variable in the next HTTP request URL path/body.
Screenshot from Regex Test in View Results Tree.
If you need to extract a single numeric value, the relevant regular expression will be as simple as (\d+). See Perl 5 Regex Cheat sheet for quick reference.
If in future you will need a regular expression which return the whole response (including line breaks, special characters, whatever), as per How to Extract Data From Files With JMeter article it will be something like (?s)(^.*)
i want to fetch "chat_session_id": 8216, from response data and apply regular expression extractor
"chat_session_id": (.+?)
but it only fetches 8 instead of 8216
You did correctly, the mistake is you need to add comma to your regular expression
Actual value: "chat_session_id": 8216,
Regx: "chat_session_id": (.+?),
Try amending your regular expression to look like:
"chat_session_id": (\d+)
This one will match any number following the chat_session_id: so it should work as it evidenced by View Results Tree listener output:
In general, given you are getting the response in JSON format it would make more sense to use JSON Extractor which is designed for working with JSON data type. The relevant JSON Path Expression would be as simple as:
$..chat_session_id
The Response data look like following within Script tag
var csrfParam =
"SKtEMgZtO0H8EYHkAZIQ4tcS5bC8jKrD=y2G5Of06jgHbkNdHNleFKiXoBMC62veD";
var securityTokenName = "SKtEMgZtO0H8EYHkAZIQ4tcS5bC8jKrD";
var securityTokenValue = "y2G5Of06jgHbkNdHNleFKiXoBMC62veD";
I'm using regular expression extractor as following:
Reference name : MYREF
Regular Expression : securityTokenName ="(.+?)" securityTokenValue="(.+?)"
Template : $1$$2$
I'm access this variable in next Jmeter request to build the URL:
${MYREF_g1}
${MYREF_g2}
Expecting to get MYREF_g1 =SKtEMgZtO0H8EYHkAZIQ4tcS5bC8jKrD
and MYREF_g2 =y2G5Of06jgHbkNdHNleFKiXoBMC62veD
But THIS is not working .
Any help would appreciated!
It looks like that you're misunderstanding what groups and templates are.
As per Using RegEx (Regular Expression Extractor) with JMeter
Template. The template used to create a string from the matches found.
This is an arbitrary string with special elements to refer to groups
within the regular expression. The syntax to refer to a group is:
'$1$' to refer to group 1, '$2$' to refer to group 2, etc. $0$ refers
to whatever the entire expression matches. So, if you have in response
word “economics” and search for regular expression “(ec)(onomics)” and
apply template $2$$1$ than in output variable you will receive
“onomicsec”.
So your RegEx should look like:
var securityTokenName = "(.+?)"; var securityTokenValue = "(.+?)";
So
securityTokenName will be stored in JMeter Variable MYREF_g1
securityTokenValue will be stored in JMeter Variable MYREF_g2
View Results Tree Listener has built-in RegExp Tester on ResponseData tab. You can also use Debug Sampler to see what variables have been set by your Regular Expression Extractor.
You need multiline regex match. Your regex will look like this
(?s)securityTokenName="(.+?)".*?securityTokenValue="(.+?)";
A sample test plan (it uses dummy sampler from jmeter plugins, if you don't have them it will faile) is here.
This post here discusses that simply having .*? will match multiple line, but apparently it did not work. This post wast the savior.
Details are from the jmeter documentation are here.
Please note that I have removed the spaces around = to simplify my sample. Please change the regex appropriately.
my soap/xml response looks like below:
<Account><Accountnumber>1234<Description>savings</Account><Account><Accountnumber>1235<Description>Savings1</Account>
I would like to store accountnumbers in a variable or array and would call it in another soap xml request in jmeter for knowing their details. can somebody help me how i can store and how i can call that variable ? I am new to Jmeter.
Thanks in advance.
If the account numbers are static, you're better off using a .csv file, as mentioned by Vance because the CSV data reader has less overhead then regex.
However, if you want dynamic data, it's very easy to do.
Download "regex coach" to help you write regular expressions. It's an amazing tool.
Attach a "regular expression extractor" as a child to your SOAP/XML request
Run the request once, to get the reponse
Copy the response into regex coach (or whatever tool you use), and write your regex. It'll look something like this: (\d+?)\D (look for any digit after the text accountNumber and stop after a non-digit)
Configure the rest of the regex. In this case, you'll want:
Apply to: Main Sample Only
Response filed to check: Main Body
Reference Name: VariableName
Regular Expression: See step 3
Match No: 1 (1st match) 0 (any match) or -1 (all
matches, useful when doing "FOR EACH
found" logic
Default Value: failed
TO use your variable account number in other requests, simply use the reference name. In this example: ${VariableName}
Reference: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Regular_Expression_Extractor
You may save your data in a ".csv" file and Jmeter can read it easily through its csv data set config.
Use ${your data variable} in your scripts.
