I am using:
${__eval( ${__FileToString(${filePath}\x.xml)})}
to get an XML String from a file. The variable filePath is not resolved and I'm always getting the error "FileNotFound exception". If the absolute path is given, it works. It seems the variable is not resolved before the FileToString function call. Is there a way to use a relative path?
JMeter uses FileServer class to determine it's base directory.
If you look into JMeter log you'll be able to see something like:
2014/07/14 15:32:12 INFO - jmeter.services.FileServer: Default base='/opt/jmeter/bin'
In my case it's /opt/jmeter/bin
So if I drop x.xml file into /opt/jmeter/bin folder it would be resolved via ${__FileToString(x.xml,,)} function.
There is a property which can control base directory for relative paths resolution:
# Prefix used to identify filenames that are relative to the current base
#jmeter.save.saveservice.base_prefix=~/
You can set it to any other folder and JMeter will use it as the base for paths resolution.
The property can be changed in:
jmeter.properties file
user.properties file
overriden via -J command-line argument as
jmeter -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.base_prefix=c:/xml_payload/
jmeter.properties and user.properties files live under /bin folder of your JMeter installation, FileServer base is usually the same folder.
See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more details on JMeter tuning using properties.

let say I have multiple XLMs files in folder and use jp#gc Directory Listing upload the files. so how do I pass variables to body xmls?
<Address>
<Address1>${address}</Address1>
<City>${city}</City>
<State>${state}</State>
<ZipOrPostalCode>${zip}</ZipOrPostalCode>
<Country>USA</Country>
</Address>
I tried to use jsr223- preprocessor but not success
Use __FileToString() and __eval() functions combination like:
${__eval(${__FileToString(${filename},,)})}
where filename is the variable from the Directory Listing Config

i am facing multiple problems with my .jmx file.
I am working with bzm-concurrency thread group
1) it is not recognising the standard format of passing the user defined values
like: ${__P(SERVER_NAME,localhost)} instead of passing "localhost" to my script it is appending "${__P(SERVER_NAME,localhost)}" to my url.
After passing only the value i.e (localhost) it is working fine
2) Also, iam running my jmeter script from build.gradle file and iam unable to pass the url and other details from them
|SERVER_NAME|${__P(SERVER_NAME,localhost)}| --> this code is not working
|SERVER_NAME|localhost| --> this code is working fine
jmeter {
jmTestFiles = [file("src/main/Jmetrscript.jmx")]
jmSystemPropertiesFiles= [file(path of my properties file)] //to add additional system properties
jmUserProperties = ["SERVER_NAME ="+System.getProperty('SERVER_NAME','localhost'), "SERVER_PORT ="+System.getProperty('SERVER_PORT','9080') ]
enableExtendedReports = true //produce Graphical and CSV reports
}
when i run this using gradlew jmRun -DSERVER_NAME=localhost it is not passing the value.
As per JMeter Gradle Plugin - Advanced Usage
Supported JMeter commandline arguments (see full list here):
-p, --propfile {argument}, the jmeter property file to use
-q, --addprop {argument}, additional property file(s)
-t, --testfile {argument}, the jmeter test(.jmx) file to run
-J, --jmeterproperty {argument}={value}, Define additional JMeter properties
-D, --systemproperty {argument}={value}, Define additional System properties
-S, --systemPropertyFile {filename}, a property file to be added as System properties
-r, --runremote (non-GUI only), Start remote servers (as defined by the jmeter property remote_hosts)
-G, --globalproperty (argument)[=(value)], Define Global properties (sent to servers), e.g. -Gport=123, or -Gglobal.properties
So you should pass JMeter Properties via -J command-line argument like:
jmRun -JSERVER_NAME=localhost etc

While executing the test through JMeter I found in Jmeter log:
2017/12/21 02:37:06 INFO - jmeter.services.FileServer: Default base='/u02/project/gold'
2017/12/21 02:37:06 INFO - jmeter.services.FileServer: Set new base='/home/project/gold/JMX'
I am executing the test from /u02/project/gold/apache-jmeter-3.1 but do not know from where JMeter set new base value which is another directory '/home/project/gold/JMX'? Please let me know how I can restrict jmeter to set new base value?
As per Apache JMeter version 3.3 FileServer class source code:
private static final String DEFAULT_BASE = System.getProperty("user.dir");// $NON-NLS-1$
So it should take user.dir (User working directory) Java System Property value as a default
If you need to override this to have another value you can set it by adding the next line to system.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
user.dir=/some/custom/path
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.
Another option is setting the property value via -D command-line argument like:
jmeter -Duser.dir=/some/custom/path -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl

When I am setting relative path in File Chooser form component in Linux environment using install4j installer it sets wrong value like I read data/conf/truststore.txt relative path from properties file and then set this path to File Chooser form component, instead of setting path "data/conf/truststore.txt" it sets "ES210/configure.sh.15633.dir/data/conf/truststore.txt". How can I correct this?
By default, the relative file is relative to the working directory. To set it relative to the installation directory, set it to
${installer:sys.installationDir}/data/conf/truststore.txt
I have a Jmeter project that is executed by Maven and is able to locate external Beanshell scripts by the path src/test/jmeter/external-scripts-dir/script1.bsh , but when I run Jmeter directly in the GUI on my computer the relative location doesn't work and the tests cannot be ran standalone. This forces me to run Jmeter from Maven.
So, I have a project file located at a Maven layout location like C:\files\git\projectA\src\test\jmeter\Project.jmx but since I ran jmeter from its installation folder at C:\Jmeter2.12 , it cannot find the relative location of the external script I mentioned earlier.
To solve this, all I need is to set a variable to the directory containing the .jmx file. Is there any possible way to do this?
I can dynamically determine the home of Jmeter ( C:\Jmeter2.12 ) pretty easily (using the following code) but that doesn't help me get the location of the project file.
${__BeanShell(import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer; FileServer
.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}${__BeanShell(File.separator,)}
Is there something similar to the above code that would allow me to deduce the project file location?
If you're looking for the way to locate current script when you run JMeter in GUI mode you can try the following Beanshell expression:
${__BeanShell(import org.apache.jmeter.gui.GuiPackage;GuiPackage.getInstance().getTestPlanFile();)}
If you brake this down into 5 lines there will be:
import org.apache.jmeter.gui.GuiPackage;
import org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils;
String testPlanFile = GuiPackage.getInstance().getTestPlanFile();
String testPlanFileDir = FilenameUtils.getFullPathNoEndSeparator(testPlanFile);
vars.put("testPlanFileDir", testPlanFileDir);
log.info("testPlanFileDir:" + testPlanFileDir);
Your current .jmx file fill be stored as scriptFile JMeter Variable.

How to use BeanShell: JMeter's favorite built-in component guide
The solution was (thanks to Ardesco) to do the following:
Use the following variables, set in the Test Plan global variables:
projectHome = ${__BeanShell(import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer; FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}
jmeterHome = ${__BeanShell(System.getProperty("user.dir");)}
scriptHome = ${projectHome}/scripts
Thanks to the accepted answer, I was able to solve a related problem.
Now, I can calculate this parameter once and re-use it as a user variable.
JMETER_SCRIPTS_DIRECTORY=${__BeanShell(import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer; FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}
Its usage is ${JMETER_SCRIPTS_DIRECTORY}.
Interestingly, it works in both GUI mode and NON GUI mode (from command line).
