JMeter asserting a response has been successfully downloaded - jmeter

I am using JMeter to test some of the functionality on my site. Through using the Save Responses to a file element, I have been able to successfully issue a request to download a pdf through JMeter. However, I am curious if there is an assertion to check that a file has actually downloaded (and if possible, is in the format I specified!). I know I can simply look at the file, but I'm hoping to make this more automated. I have checked "Save Successful Responses Only," but I want to ensure a response has actually been saved.

I think you need to use a Beanshell Assertion for this.
Example code to check file presence, size and content type is below:
File file = new File("/path/to/downloaded/file");
//check file existence
if (!file.exists())
{
Failure = true;
FailureMessage = "File " + file.getName() + " does not exist";
}
//check file size
long expectedSize = SampleResult.getBodySize();
long actualSize = file.length();
if (expectedSize != actualSize)
{
Failure = true;
FailureMessage = "Actual file size differs from expected. Expected: " + expectedSize + " and got: " + actualSize ;
}
//check content type
String expectedType = SampleResult.getContentType();
String actualType = file.toURI().toURL().openConnection().getContentType();
if (!expectedType.equals(actualType))
{
Failure = true;
FailureMessage = "Response types are different. Expected: " + expectedType + " and got: " + actualType;
}

Adding multiple CC recipients in VBScript; Recipient.Type not working

I am working on a jsx (extendscript project) in which I am calling a VBS snippet with app.doScript. I cannot get the email_cc and email_cc2 recipients to show up as cc; they are stuck in the main "To" sending. I will not know in advance whether they exist in the users' address book, so I am adding them as recipients than trying to set their Type.
var vbs = 'Dim objOutl\r';
vbs += 'Set objOutl = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")\r';
vbs += 'Set objMailItem = objOutl.CreateItem(olMailItem)\r';
vbs += 'objMailItem.Display\r';
vbs += 'strEmailAddress = "' + email_address + '"\r';
vbs += 'objMailItem.Recipients.Add strEmailAddress\r';
vbs += 'strSubject = "' + the_subject + '"\r';
vbs += 'objMailItem.Subject = strSubject\r';
vbs += 'objMailItem.Body = "' + the_bodytext + '"\r';
if (email_cc && email_cc != "") {
vbs += 'Set cc1Recipient = objMailItem.Recipients.Add ("' + email_cc + '")\r';
if (email_cc2 && email_cc2 != "") {
vbs += 'Set cc2Recipient = objMailItem.Recipients.Add ("' + email_cc2 + '")\r';
vbs += 'cc1Recipient.Type = olCC\r';
vbs += 'cc2Recipient.Type = olCC\r';
}
else {
vbs += 'cc1Recipient.Type = olCC\r';
}
}
if (has_attachment) {
vbs += 'objMailItem.Attachments.Add "' + pdf_file + '"\r';
}
Check out the following points:
Try to use the fully qualified name in the code with the enum name, for example:
OlMailRecipientType.olCC
Use the Resolve method which attempts to resolve a recipient object against the address book. It returns true if the recipient was resolved.
Call the Save method to apply changes made through the OOM. Sometimes it makes sense to close the item, switch to another Outlook item, and then come back to check out results. Outlook caches changes and doesn't propagate changes made using the OOM immediately.
Read more about these methods and properties in the How To: Fill TO,CC and BCC fields in Outlook programmatically article.

How can I overwrite data in csv file using jmeter

I am using Jmeter for API automation, I am writing result pass or fail in CSV file.
I am unable to overwrite old result data, Every time I run the test cases it's appending with old result data.
I use Beanshell Post processor for writing in CSV file.
import java.io.file;
import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer;
ActualResponseCode = prev.getResponseCode();
if (vars.get("ExpectedResponse").equals(vars.get("ActualResponse")))
{
if(vars.get("ExpectedResponseCode").equals(prev.getResponseCode()))
{
prev.setSuccessful(true);
Result = "Pass";
ErrorMessage = "No Error";
}
else
{
Result = "Fail";
ErrorMessage = "ResponseCode not matching";
}
}
else
{
prev.setSuccessful(false);
Result = "Fail";
ErrorMessage = "ResponseData is not matching";
}
f = new FileOutputStream("C://Users//a622821//Desktop//apache-jmeter-3.2//API_AUTOMATION//TestResult_Post.csv", true);
p = new PrintStream(f);
p.println(vars.get("TestCase") + "," + vars.get("API_Endpoint") + "," + vars.get("ExpectedResponseCode") + "," + ActualResponseCode + "," + Result + "," + ErrorMessage);
p.close();
f.close();
Basically when you write to file you can overrid file by using boolean false as second parameter to FileWriter constructor
File file = ....
new FileWriter(file, false);
If you have several calls for beanshell I suggest create Beanshell sampler which will be called in start of the test and will override the file (create empty file):
import java.io.file;
f = new FileOutputStream("C://Users//a622821//Desktop//apache-jmeter-3.2//API_AUTOMATION//TestResult_Post.csv", false);
p = new PrintStream(f);
p.close();
f.close();
If you must use same beanshell you need a variable flag, so add variable firstTime with value true
In Beanshell use it to set the flag by firstTime variable:
import java.io.file;
import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer;
ActualResponseCode = prev.getResponseCode();
if (vars.get("ExpectedResponse").equals(vars.get("ActualResponse")))
{
if(vars.get("ExpectedResponseCode").equals(prev.getResponseCode()))
{
prev.setSuccessful(true);
Result = "Pass";
ErrorMessage = "No Error";
}
else
{
Result = "Fail";
ErrorMessage = "ResponseCode not matching";
}
}
else
{
prev.setSuccessful(false);
Result = "Fail";
ErrorMessage = "ResponseData is not matching";
}
firstTime = vars.get("firstTime");
flag = true;
if ("true".equals(firstTime)) {
flag = false;
vars.put("firstTime", "false");
}
f = new FileOutputStream("C://Users//a622821//Desktop//apache-jmeter-3.2//API_AUTOMATION//TestResult_Post.csv", flag);
p = new PrintStream(f);
p.println(vars.get("TestCase") + "," + vars.get("API_Endpoint") + "," + vars.get("ExpectedResponseCode") + "," + ActualResponseCode + "," + Result + "," + ErrorMessage);
p.close();
f.close();
Test Plan variable:
Don't use scripting to write anything to files, JMeter is able to store literally anything into its .jtl results file so I would recommend rather configuring it to store what you need there rather than trying to create an extra results file in such a weird manner as:
Beanshell is not the best scripting option, if you need to go for scripting consider using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language instead
If you are writing something into a file make sure you put aforementioned JSR223 Elements under the Critical Section Controller
So I would suggest switching to either Response Assertion or JSR223 Assertion instead of the PostProcessor. If required you can tell JMeter to store assertion failure message by adding the next line to user.properties file (located in the "bin" folder of JMeter installation, however I think it defaults to true in any case)
jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results_failure_message=true

Getting below error while running ruby script

I am running a test suite in Soap UI where I am trying to call one ruby script from groovy script. The step is getting executed successfully but still the script is not able to move on to the next step as it gives this error after running.
Have searched in google about this error, but found no proper resolution. Moreover the error itself is not very explanatory.
Will appreciate any kind of help.
Below is the groovy script which is calling "ap-v4-batch_DEV_QA.rb" ruby script.
This ruby script opens a browser and performs the task successfully and closes the browser. We expect the step to be marked as Passed so that it can move on to the next step, but it gives the error mentioned at the bottom.
Groovy Script:
String script = "webdriver/v4/ap-v4-batch_DEV_QA.rb";
String argv0 = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.getPropertyValue("GLOB_DefaultIP");
String argv1 = "com.wupay.batch.process.tasks.PaymentFileParsingTask_RunOnce";
String argv2 = "";
String argv3 = "";
String argv4 = "";
/* Nothing needs to be modified below */
String commandLine = "ruby " + com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.getPropertyValue("GLOB_ScriptLocation") + "/" + script + " " + argv0 + " " + argv1 + " " + argv2 + " " + argv3 + " " + argv4;

}
}
p.waitFor();
log.info("Ruby: exit value " + p.exitValue());
if(eb.length() > 0) {
throw new Exception(eb.toString());
}
Error:
java.lang.Exception: C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:133:in require':require "watir-webdriver"is deprecated.

Please, use require "watir". error at line: 57
I have finally resolved the issue.
The issue was that ruby script was not accepting require "watir-webdriver".
I installed watir and replaced require "watir-webdriver" with require "watir".
now I am not getting the above mentioned error.
Thanks anyways!

Script Works on Win 7, Not on Server 2003

I have a script that is rather simple, it boots up WinSCP and checks the directory for a file that starts with "TSA". If the file exists, it exits, if it does not exist, it transfers over a new file.
Its up and running on my Windows 7 machine, that is where i created it - but when i transfer it over to my server [windows server 2003] it never finds the file.
My script:
var FILEPATH = "../zfinance/TSA";
// Session to connect to
var SESSION = "someplace#somewhere.com";
// Path to winscp.com
var WINSCP = "c:\\program files\\winscp\\winscp.com";
var filesys = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var logfilepath = filesys.GetSpecialFolder(2) + "\\" + filesys.GetTempName() + ".xml";
var p = FILEPATH.lastIndexOf('/');
var path = FILEPATH.substring(0, p);
var filename = FILEPATH.substring(p + 1);
var exec;
// run winscp to check for file existence
exec = shell.Exec("\"" + WINSCP + "\" /log=\"" + logfilepath + "\"");
exec.StdIn.Write(
"option batch abort\n" +
"open \"" + SESSION + "\"\n" +
"ls \"" + path + "\"\n" +
"exit\n");
// wait until the script finishes
while (exec.Status == 0)
{
WScript.Sleep(100);
WScript.Echo(exec.StdOut.ReadAll());
}
if (exec.ExitCode != 0)
{
WScript.Echo("Error checking for file existence");
WScript.Quit(1);
}
// look for log file
var logfile = filesys.GetFile(logfilepath);
if (logfile == null)
{
WScript.Echo("Cannot find log file");
WScript.Quit(1);
}
// parse XML log file
var doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
doc.async = false;
doc.load(logfilepath);
doc.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",
"xmlns:w='http://winscp.net/schema/session/1.0'");
doc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
var nodes = doc.selectNodes("//w:file/w:filename[starts-with(#value, '" + filename + "')]");
if (nodes.length > 0)
{
WScript.Echo("File found");
WScript.Quit(0);
}
else
{
WScript.Echo("File not found");
WScript.Quit(1);
}
After much investigation, i think i've found the piece of code that does not function properly:
// parse XML log file
var doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0");
doc.async = false;
doc.load(logfilepath);
doc.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",
"xmlns:w='http://winscp.net/schema/session/1.0'");
The only problem is, i have no idea why. The log file at this point should be written over with the xml code, but this does not happen.
Thanks in advance for any help.
And the answer is........... WinSCP on Windows Server 2003 was WAY out of date. So out of date that the log was completely different from one version to the next. Updated and VIOLA! Problem solved. Thanks for your help.
Maybe you need to install MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc507436%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
If you open up regedit and look for "MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0" does it find it? If so maybe security settings for the script need to be set in order to be able to create an activeX object.
What can you see when you put some stuff in try catch?
try{
//stuff
}catch(e){
WScript.Echo(e.message);
}

Visual Studio code metrics misreporting lines of code

The code metrics analyser in Visual Studio, as well as the code metrics power tool, report the number of lines of code in the TestMethod method of the following code as 8.
At the most, I would expect it to report lines of code as 3.
[TestClass]
public class UnitTest1
{
private void Test(out string str)
{
str = null;
}
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod()
{
var mock = new Mock<UnitTest1>();
string str;
mock.Verify(m => m.Test(out str));
}
}
Can anyone explain why this is the case?
Further info
After a little more digging I've found that removing the out parameter from the Test method and updating the test code causes LOC to be reported as 2, which I believe is correct. The addition of out causes the jump, so it's not because of braces or attributes.
Decompiling the DLL with dotPeek reveals a fair amount of additional code generated because of the out parameter which could be considered 8 LOC, but removing the parameter and decompiling also reveals generated code, which could be considered 5 LOC, so it's not simply a matter of VS counting compiler generated code (which I don't believe it should do anyway).
There are several common definitions of 'Lines Of Code' (LOC). Each tries to bring some sense to what I think of as an almost meaningless metric. For example google of effective lines of code (eLOC).
I think that VS is including the attribute as part of the method declaration and is trying to give eLOC by counting statements and even braces. One possiblity is that 'm => m.Test(out str)' is being counted as a statement.
Consider this:
if (a > 1 &&
b > 2)
{
var result;
result = GetAValue();
return result;
}
and this:
if (a> 1 && b >2)
return GetAValue();
One definition of LOC is to count the lines that have any code. This may even include braces. In such an extreme simplistic definition the count varies hugely on coding style.
eLOC tries to reduce or eliminate the influence of code style. For example, as may the case here, a declaration may be counted as a 'line'. Not justifying it, just explaining.
Consider this:
int varA = 0;
varA = GetAValue();
and this:
var varA = GetAValue();
Two lines or one?
It all comes down to what is the intent. If it is to measure how tall a monitor you need then perhaps use a simple LOC. If the intent is to measure complexity then perhaps counting code statements is better such as eLOC.
If you want to measure complexity then use a complexity metric like cyclomatic complexity. Don't worry about how VS is measuring LOC as, i think, it is a useless metric anyway.
With the tool NDepend we get a # Lines of Code (LoC) of 2 for TestMethod(). (Disclaimer I am one of the developers of this tool). I wrote an article about How do you count your number of Lines Of Code (LOC) ? that is shedding light on what is logical LoC, and how all .NET LoC counting tooling rely on the PDB sequence points technology.
My guess concerning this LoC value of 8 provided by VS metric, is that it includes the LoC of the method generated by the lambda expression + it includes the PDB sequences points related to open/ending braces (which NDepend doesn't). Also lot of gymnastic is done by the compiler to do what is called capturing the local variable str, but this shouldn't impact the #LoC that is inferred from the PDB sequence points.
Btw, I wrote 2 others related LoC articles:
Why is it useful to count the number of Lines Of Code (LOC) ?
Mythical man month : 10 lines per developer day
I was wondering about the Visual Studio line counting and why what I was seeing wasn't what was being reported. So I wrote a small C# console program to count pure lines of code and write the results to a CSV file (see below).
Open a new solution, copy and paste it into the Program.cs file, build the executable, and then you're ready to go. It's a .Net 3.5 application. Copy it into the topmost directory of your code base. Open a command window and run the executable. You get two prompts, first for name of the program/subsystem, and for any extra file types you want to analyze. It then writes the results to a CSV file in the current directory. Nice simple thing for your purposes or to hand to management.
Anyhoo, here it is, FWIW, and YMMV:

// It writes that information to a CSV file in the current directory. It uses regular expressions
// on each line of each file to figure out what it's looking at, and how to count it (i.e. is it

Here's how it works:
the program has a set of the file extensions you want to analyze.
It walks through each extension in the set, getting all files of that type in the current and all subdirectories.
It selects each file, goes through each line of that file, compares each line to a regex to figure out what it's looking at, and increments the line count after it figures out what it's looking at.
If a line isn't whitespace, a single or multi-line comment, or a multi-line string, it counts it as a line of code. It reports all the counts for each of those types of lines (code, comments, whitespace, multi-line strings) and writes them to a CSV file. No need to explain why Visual Studio did or did not count something as a line of code.
Yes, there are three loops embedded in each other (O(n-cubed) O_O ) but it's just a simple, standalone developer tool, and the biggest code base I've run it on was about 350K lines and it took like 10 seconds to run on a Core i7.
Edit: Just ran it on the Firefox 12 code base, about 4.3 million lines (3.3M code, 1M comments), about 21K files, with an AMD Phenom processor - took 7 minutes, watched the performance tab in Task Manager, no stress. FYI.
My attitude is if I wrote it to be part of an instruction fed to a compiler, it's a line of code and should be counted.
It can easily be customized to ignore or count whatever you want (brackets, namespaces, the includes at the top of the file, etc). Just add the regex, test it with the function that's right there below the regexes, then update the if statement with that regex.
