In the JMeter Documentation for HTTP Request Samplers, I found this:
"As a special case, if the path starts with "http://" or "https://" then this is used as the full URL. In this case, the server, port and protocol fields are ignored; parameters are also ignored for GET and DELETE methods."
Does this mean that GET always ignores parameters or just in that special case? I would prefer to put my parameters in the 'send parameter with the request' section for legibility, but if it doesn't work, I don't want to waste time on that.
Normall JMeter builds the full URL based on the details from server, Port, protocol, Path details of HTTP sampler OR HTTP Request Defaults assuming Path field contains only the path for the resource you are trying to access for the given server. In this case, JMeter, does not ignore parameters in 'send parameter with the request' section. You can add your parameters in 'send parameter with the request' section.

I have running the JMeter for performance testing,
For GET request the parameters are not appending properly
Get Request
Request's response
I don't know what i am missing.
I don't think it's a good idea to have protocol, host and port in "Path" field of the HTTP Request sampler, you should use the relevant inputs for this.
Moreover, having the full URL in the "Path" section might cause malfunction of i.e. HTTP Cookie Manager, HTTP Cache Manager, etc.
If you're uncertain about how to properly build the HTTP Request you can just record it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder or JMeter Chrome Extension.
My HTTP Request has child HTTP Header Manager. The HTTP Header Manager has dynamic values, and other parameters depending on search on GUI application. See picture. The xsrf-token is dynamic, and auditlog varies depending on my search by vEnl. I am using JMeter 4.0. The HTTP Requests are GET, and therefore cannot use the checkbox "Use multipart/form-data for POST" either. How can I correlate/parameterize in this situation?
Use Regular Expression Extractor in the response of whatever request which has the right value for this Header Manager. Name it for example :testDynaVar
Then use ${testDynaVar} in auditlog's value. The parameter value will be passed to this header manager.
You need to extract this xsrf-token from the previous response using a suitable JMeter Post-Processor, save it into a JMeter Variable and substitute recorded hard-coded value with this variable in the HTTP Header Manager, check out How to Load Test CSRF-Protected Web Sites article for example implementation.
HTTP Header Manager can evaluate JMeter Variables in the runtime and substitute the placeholders with the respective values:
with regards to this auditlog header your question doesn't contain enough information to come up with the proper configuration, from the first glance you can parameterize this ctime argument using __time() function
We are using the jmeter recording template to see the api requests by our unsigned app.
When we use charles as the proxy, we are getting all the urls properly.
But when we use the jmeter recording template, we get 'MISSING PARAMETERS' for all GET requests. Essentially, jmeter does not get any parameters that are sent with the GET request.
POST requests work properly.
Any advice?
For convenience JMeter stores the request parameters under "Parameters" section of the HTTP Request sampler
it's better to work with attribute-value pairs for parameterization or correlation purposes than having to edit the URL string which might be very long.
If you replay your recorded request(s) and look into Request tab of the View Results Tree listener you will see that the parameters are concatenated to protocol, domain, etc. in the URL:
I'm trying to do a GET HTTPS Request via JMeter. It is a simple request with content-type=application/json, and an auth token. Now for unknown reasons it works perfectly without any issues/problems in Postman, but in JMeter I'm getting an error.
I'm new to JMeter so I can only assume I am just setting something incorrectly.
The HTTP Request I am sending is:
https://www.server.com/api/userinfo?fields=['id']
In postman I get a 200 response with the expected JSON response.
In JMeter however, it gives me the error:
Could not parse fields query. Must be valid JSON.
I've tried messing with the 'send parameters with the request' option in JMeter by removing the ?fields=['id'] from the Path, and instead setting them in the parameters area, but that gives me the exact same 400 error response code.
Also, if I use the send parameters section, and I look at the request, it doesn't seem to be using the parameters i've set. So I went back to passing the parameter directly in the URL path.
SOLVED:: The issue is that JMeter does not like the usage of double quotes in the Path field. You can get by this by using %22 in place of double quotes. This solved the problem of not receiving an error when passing the parameter through Path.
Add HTTP Request sampler to your Test Plan
Configure it as follows:
You might also need to add HTTP Header Manager as a child of your request and configure it to send the relevant Content-Type header
The sent data can be verified using View Results Tree listener:
Also be aware that you can easily create a JMeter test from Postman by just recording the request using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
For my JMeter test, I would like all threads in the test to use one shared session id. The session id is known before I start the test job. How do I specify a specific JSessionId for my JMeter test?
I've tried appending a JSessionId parameter in the HTTP Cookie Manager (under user-defined cookies), in the HTTP Request Defaults (under send parameters with the request), and I tried adding a 'HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier' from the Pre-Processor tab under the Recording Controller. None of these have worked. Which step is the best way to set a fixed session id for my JMeter test?
You were correct when you tried to use the HTTP Cookie Manager, this should do what you need.
Probably, it didn't work for one of two reasons:
You either have the Cookie Manager in the wrong place. To affect all requests it should be at the root of the Test Plan or Thread Group.
Or, more likely, you didn't specify all the required values properly when you added the User Defined Cookie. This can be tricky to get working; have you made sure you're not using 'http://' in the domain field?
You need to add jp#gc-JSON Path Extractor in HTTP request, the particular HTTP request which is generating session id in its response data .
If response is like:
{"sessionId":"f5b06970-f00f-4b44-89c8-305738e19cba","loginDate":1483599209337}
In JSON path extractor add:
Variable name - session (variable in which session id will be stored)
JSON Expression - $.sessionId (this will vary according to the JSON response)
Default Value - NOT_FOUND
Now the next step is to use this variable named "session". You can use it in your HTTP request for which you need to pass session id under HTTP header manager as x-auth-token = ${session}
