My test plan looks like this
TEST_PLAN
-Thread_group: (user: 1, ramp: 1, loop:70)
--Loop_Controller_1(loop:1)
--Loop_Counter
-- HTTP request1: go to page_1
-IF_Controller1 ( Loop_Counter=5)
-- HTTP request2: go to page_2
-IF_Controller2 ( Loop_Counter=67)
-- Loop_Controller_2 (loop:3)
--- HTTP request3: go to page_2
Here the condition is based on the Loop_Counter, if loop_counter is 5, IF_Contoller1 is executed. When loop_counter is 15, If_controller2 is met, Loop_controller_2 should be executed for 3 loops. All 3 http request inputs are read from 3 different CSV files.
When executed, http request 1 is invoked only 4 times, not sure how this enter code herenumber is achieved.
Is this correct way of implementation, or anything missing/wrong?
Please help!
Implementation looks good, however scope of CSV Data Set Config matters.
I would recommend adding any of your CSV Data Config Element as a child of the request you're trying to parametrize. Also check Recycle on EOF, Stop thread on EOF and especially Sharing Mode parameters.
See Using CSV DATA SET CONFIG guide for more details.
As an option you can post your .jmx file and any CSV files used somewhere so it would be more clear what's going on in your case.

I'm using Apache JMeter to send thousands of HTTP requests with 3 seconds of delay in between. The response body is json and starts with {"errors":[ ], ...}. If there is an error it will be in the [ ]. If there is no error than [ ] will be empty.
I want JMeter to pause for a short period of time if it receives an error, and try the request again. So that it'll add in additional buffer when needed.
Do I need a script for this? How can I achieve this?
You can get the number of errors by adding a JSON JMESPath Extractor as a child of the Sampler which returns the JSON and configuring it like:
It will extract the number of entries in errors JSON Array and store it into errors JMeter Variable
Then you can use If Controller to check if the number of errors is above zero, it can be done using __jexl3() function like:
${__jexl3(${errors} > 0,)}
and finally you can introduce a delay using Flow Control Action sampler:
Solution 1
Add a JSR223 Post Processor to the Test Plan level, Thread Group or to a sampler based on your requirement.
Add following code into the script area to check the error and introduce a delay after error if any.
int delayOnErrorInMillis = 5000
if (prev.getResponseDataAsString().startsWith('{"errors":')){
log.info("ERROR !")
sleep(delayOnErrorInMillis)
}
I have to make a GET call on IDs stored in a CSV while and I have to retry on GET call till it returns 200 response code.
This is what my current structure looks like ..
GET thread group
Once only controller to grab authentication for each thread
While Controller with condition "${__javaScript("${index}"!="<"EOF">")}" to check for end of the CSV
file
CSV data config file (Each file is unique for each thread) , variable name is "index", Recycle on
EOF - False, Stop thread on EOF - True,
sharing mode - current thread
While Controller with condition "${__javaScript(parseInt(vars.get("Response_code"))!=201)}"
User defined variables - Response_code
Http GET request
JSR233 post processor - "vars.put("Response_code",prev.getResponseCode());"
JSR223 post-processor - To write ID returned in successful call to another CSV file
Now I am not getting error or anything .. but I was expecting first while controller to loop through CSV file for each id, then make a GET request for each id and then second while loop would wait for success code but for some reason, GET call is only executing for the first entry in the csv and then exit out of it. What am I missing here?
CSV data config file (Each file is unique for each thread)
this is not how it works, the CSV Data Set Config is being initialized once with the filename resolved at the time of its execution, it doesn't load the new CSV file for each virtual user.
If you're looking for an option of supplying the CSV file name(s) dynamically in the runtime - consider switching to __CSVRead() function. See How to Pick Different CSV Files at JMeter Runtime article for more details.
I'm concerned with work of CSV Data Set Config along JMeter rules set with scoping rules and execution order.
For CSV Data Set Config it is said "Lines are read at the start of each test iteration.". At first I thought that talks about threads, then I've read Use jmeter to test multiple Websites where config is put inside loop controller and lines are read each loop iteration. I've tested with now 5.1.1 and it works. But if I put config at root of test plan, then in will read new line only each thread iteration. Can I expect such behaviour based on docs only w/out try-and-error? I cannot see how it flows from scoping+exec order+docs on csv config element. Am I missing something?
I would appreciate some ideas why such factual behaviour is convenient and why functionality was implemented this way.
P.S. how can I read one line cvs to vars at start of test and then stop running that config to save CPU time? In 2.x version there was VariablesFromCSV config for that...
The Thread Group has an implicit Loop Controller inside it:
the next line from CSV will be read as soon as LoopIterationListener.iterationStart() event occurs, no matter of origin
It is safe to use CSV Data Set Config as it doesn't keep the whole file in the memory, it reads the next line only when the aforementioned iterationStart() event occurs. However it keeps an open file handle. If you do have really a lot of RAM and not enough file handles you can read the file into memory at the beginning of the test using i.e. setUp Thread Group and JSR223 Sampler with the following code
SampleResult.setIgnore()
new File('/path/to/csv/file').readLines().eachWithIndex { line, index ->
props.put('line_' + (index + 1), line)
}
once done you will be able to refer the first line using __P() function as ${__P(line_1,)}, second line as ${__P(line_2,)}, etc.
My Test plan has a csv dataset config element, a thread group with a http sampler.
I would like to read first element from csv, run it using 20 threads for 50 iterations, then repeat this sequential process for all the 30 rows of my csv.
I have set the toggle for stop on eof to true.
Most solutions,I have gone through on Stack Overflow, andother blogs, for a suitable solution, suggest adding a loop controller or a while loop, reading the rows using a preprocessor and looping, however, in these cases, I am not able to achieve my objective.
TestPlan
-- User Defined Variables
-- HTTP Request Defaults
-- HTTP Header Manager
-- JSR223 PreProcessor (To get the CSV line count)
-- CSV Data Set Config (Recycle on EOF - False, Stop on EOF - True)
-- Thread Group
-- HTTP Sampler (GET,pass each of the csv dataset element as part of path)
-- View Result Tree
With the above setup, I see that the whole csv is iterated, I inlcuded a loop controller, with loop count, moved the HTTP sampler, under it.
However, when I do this, I was unable to get the usage of Iterations in thread-group.

JMeter - multiple user taking unique row from CSV file
Your requirement is too "exotic", I would recommend creating a new CSV file out of your existing one with:
1st line repeated 100 times (20 threads x 50 iterations)
2nd line repeated 100 times
3rd line repeated 100 times
...
30th line repeated 100 times
If you have problems generating the file you can do this in the runtime, like:
Add setUp Thread Group with 1 thread and 1 loop to your test plan
Add JSR223 Sampler to the Thread Group
Put the following code into "Script" area:
SampleResult.setIgnore()
def generated = new File('/path/to/new/csv/file')
generated.delete()
new File('/path/to/old/csv/file').readLines().each { line ->
1.upto(100, {
generated << line << System.getProperty('line.separator')
})
}
In main Thread Group use CSV Data Set Config "normally", just point it to use the /path/to/new/csv/file
See The Groovy Templates Cheat Sheet for JMeter for more examples of useful Groovy code snippets which you can use to enhance your JMeter tests.
I have a Jmeter test with multiple while controler, each looping through data in separate files
I want each while loop to loop through the end of that file.
Structure:
While controller 1
- CSV Data Config 1
- Http sampler 1
While Controller 2
- CSV Data Config 2
- http sampler 2
When I set as an end condition: ${__javaScript(${myVar}!="<EOF>")} with stop thread on end of file to true, it stops the whole test completly.
If I set stop on end of file to false it loops on the also, meaning it loops one time too many
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks
A possible solution would be use beanshell processor and find the number of records in each file. Use the number of lines as the condition to break out of the loop. Please note that you will have to use parseint in the while condition as discussed in this thread.
Another option could be changing your While Controller to do the infinite loop and control thread stopping via CSV Data Set Config.
As per Using CSV DATA SET CONFIG guide:
It is worth mentioning that every CSV Data Set Config is visible to all Thread Groups by default. If you need to use separate CSV Data Set Config for every Thread, you create a number of data files that you need and in every CSV Data Set Config set “Sharing mode” to “Current Thread”
So the following combination:
Recycle on EOF = false
Stop Thread on EOF = true
Sharing mode = Current Thread
Should do the trick for you.
