Jmeter If controller condition statement - jmeter

I am trying to built a test plan in jmeter where i want to run test for specific HTTP request based on their names. I used if controller but I dont know what condition to write.
I am writing ${__samplerName()}=="HTTPRequestName" in the condition but it isn't executing.
kindly help me as soon as possible.

You need to surround ${__samplerName()} with quotation marks as follows:
"${__samplerName()}"=="HTTPRequestName"
See How to use JMeter's 'IF' Controller and get Pie. guide for more details on If Controller use cases and clauses.
In case if you need to run samplers basing on some condition, you can use JMeter Properties as follows:
Launch JMeter providing sampler name property like jmeter -Jrunsomesampler=true
Add If Controller with the following condition: ${__P(runsomesampler,)} == true
Add desired HTTP Requests as a children of the IF Controller

Code in JMeter JSR223 Sampler comments is executed

Please tell me why the code in comments (both /*something*/ and //something) is executed using JSR223 Sampler & BeanShell sampler?
For example, I have:
and in the next JSR223 Sampler I have:
and the result is:
and the question is: why this code: "/${__setProperty(checkProperty, 50)};/" is executed regardless of that it is in comment and it is in wrong condition?
JMeter Functions are being executed in the place where they're found, no matter where it is, in Sampler label, comments section, sampler body, etc.
Actually inlining JMeter Functions and/or Variables into JSR223 scripts is not the best idea as
it might conflict with Groovy's string interpolation syntax
the function or variable might resolve into something causing script compilation failure or logic error
and last but not the least Groovy will cache the first occurrence and use it for subsequent iterations
So if you need to set a property - use props.put() function like
props.put('foo', 'bar')
And finally I'm not sure that using props.clear() is a good idea because there are some pre-defined JMeter properties (you can check yourself using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination) and it might result into unexpected behaviour if a test element will be relying on that property existence and/or value

User defined function in JMeter

I'm new to JMeter. I want to create a user defined function and have to do verification in it. I don't know how to do it. Can anyone help me for this..?
Thank you in advance
Along with other answers, you can also come up with our own function to make it appear in JMeter as shown below.
Check here for step by step tutorial for the implementation.
I think you need to go for scripting-based Assertion, i.e.
Beanshell Assertion
JSR223 Assertion
Both allow executing arbitrary code and conditionally set associated sampler success or failure. See How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps article for more information on using assertions for setting pass/fail criteria on JMeter samplers.
You can use JSR223 Sampler to write the custom code in Java/Groovy/Javascript etc (chose from Language dropdown).
Pre and Post processors, Assertions also available for JSR223.

How to validate JMeter user defined variables?

I'm new to JMeter, I want to validate a JMeter test input variables defined as part of "User Defined Parameters". Let's say I have a variable "sessions" and my tester should pass input values in between 0 to 30 for sessions, if tester passes other than this range the test should not go further and should throw an error with appropriate message.
Is it possible with any kind of JMeter controllers/assertions/... without writing code for validation?
I am not sure is there any efficient/direct way of doing this. but I achieved your requirement as follows:
Add Setup Thread Group (before any other ThreadGroup). select radio button Stop Test Now in Action to be taken after a Sample error
Add Debug Sampler to the Setup Thread Group.
Add Response Assertion (RA) to the Debug Sampler.
In RA, Select JMeter Variable in Apply to section.
In RA, select Matches in Pattern Matching Rules section.
In RA, add the regex ^[0-9]$|^0[1-9]$|^1[0-9]$|^2[0-9]$|^30$ in Pattern to test text area.
Test will be stopped if you provide sessions value other than 0-30 in User Defined Variables, as Setup Thread Group is configured to Stop Test Now on Sample error.
Note1: Added View Results Tree Listener for confirmation whether the test is continued and also to check the error message. View Results Tree is added only for visual confirmation, must be removed during the load test, does not effect the actual logic.
Note2: I am not aware of any component, which can show custom message/alert to the user. so, used View Results Tree. We should remove this command during load testing. I added here for visual confirmation purpose. If not present also, Test will be stopped on wrong value for sessions, i.e., other than 0-30
Note3: We need a Sampler component in order to apply an Assertion. so, added Debug Sampler. Debug Sampler just reports all the JMeter variable values at the point of its execution.
Image references:
Setup Thread Group:
Response Assertion:
View Results Tree:
You cannot achieve such validation in GUI without amending JMeter source code but you can check the variable range using scripting.
For example, add a JSR223 Sampler as a child of the first request and put the following code into "Script" area:
import org.apache.commons.lang3.Range;
int sessions = Integer.parseInt(vars.get("sessions"));
String errorMessage = "Provided sessions number is not between 1 and 30, stopping test";
if (!Range.between(1, 30).contains(sessions)) {
log.info(errorMessage);
SampleResult.setSuccessful(false);
SampleResult.setResponseMessage(errorMessage);
SampleResult.setStopTest(true);
}
Demo:
Make sure you are using Groovy as a language (the option should be default as per JMeter 3.1, if you are using earlier JMeter version for some reason - you will have to choose groovy from the "Language" dropdown)

How to use JMeter to create a resource with POST, extract Location, and then subsequently update it with PUT

I would like to profile a REST API using JMeter. I would like to write the test plan such that each user thread performs the following actions:
creates a new resource using HTTP POST
If HTTP 201 Created is received, then extract the new resource URL from the Location header of the HTTP response.
Subsequently update the resource using HTTP PUT
Loop in 3 and measure the response time
It's unclear to me how to use JMeter's conditional logic to break up the tests into these discrete parts. I would appreciate any insight anyone can provide on how to implement this.
You need to use If Controller to express this logic.
You can use Regular Expression Extractor to extract Response code (In field to check, check it and extract response code in a Variable)
Use the previously extracted variable in the If Controller condition

Jmeter - pause when response assertion triggers?

I've got a Jmeter test up and running on an API I'm building.
The API returns this if it gets overloaded:
{"status":{"type":"failure","cause":"internal","http":500}}
What I'd like to do is have JMeter also PAUSE if it gets that result.
I already have set up a Response Assertion that captures these errors. It seems like this should be a simple thing to set up, but I'm not seeing it. I see that I can add an If Controller, but that only works with Javascript vars.
Do I need to add a Regular Expression Extractor, grab that 'failure' as 'type' variable, and then add that to the If Controller?
Seems a little over-complicated?
Am I missing something?
Try to use BeanShell Timer to handle this situation.
It
allows scripting so you can program timer behavior how you need;
has access to jmeter context - via ctx variable - so you can handle ResponseCode condition.
Here you can find good article with example how to use.
And here - how to access beanshell variables and handle response code.
Your condition will be something like this one:
if (prev.getResponseCode().equals("500") == true) {
. . .
}
PLEASE NOTE: script used in BeanShell Timer should return value is used as the number of milliseconds to wait.
Another question is what the reason to do this.
If you have load/stress-test scenario then these results are something you should get during your tests and analyze then.
If you have kind of "functional" test-scenario so you have to handle this situation in more general way, adding any kind of properly configured timer to each sampler - to avoid overload or simulate "real-life" scenario.
Am I missing something?
