Is there any way I could assign parameter names and values both to a request from a csv file.
E.g.
In a certain recording, there are five check boxes.
When I click all of them and submit the form, the form data that gets recorded is:
geo=1
geo=2
geo=3
geo=4
geo=5
Now, when I select only 2 check boxes the form data is:
geo=1
geo=2
The other parameters are not sent with the request.
How can I emulate this in Jmeter.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
An alternative solution would be to simply create 5 different parameters
Param1: geo=1
Param2: geo=1 geo=2
Param3: geo=1 geo=2 geo=3
etc.
then you could create a random controller and put 5 different requests under it, all with a different parameter.
Hope this helps.

I am working on one of the JMeter script and I have one question regarding an item. If I want add both the parameters into body data(Json format) then how can I do? When I record and play it is working fine but I want to modify the script by passing both parameters in Json format, so that I can pass the values from CSV file
Please see screenshot:
One of the value is Json format and other one is button. I know how to pass the multiple values but here one of the parameter is button.
I have passed both the parameters into body data and tried replaying the script but not able to do it with the button parameter. please help here
Your screenshot is not visible.
JMeter doesn't know anything about HTML buttons, it acts on HTTP protocol level
If you want to have the possibility to parameterize any data which is being sent by JMeter just put this data into the CSV file and replace the recorded hard-coded values with the variables defined in the CSV Data Set Config.
Use Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination to see what are the JMeter Variables values and how does request look like. You will also have the possibility to compare the recorded and parameterized requests.
I have 4 input parameters which I need to pass in my http request sampler. Everything is OK but the problem is how to first data i have to pass from the previous thread http response and rest 3 from the csv file. Please help.
It seems that you want to update a specific value of the CSV during execution. It would be wise to say that this can be achieved using if controller and User Parameters element. You can go through the below screenshots to resolve this problem.
CSV Data set config for reading csv values
CSV File
Here, I have added text "REPLACE_WITH_RESPONSE" so that we can match it in IF controller.
IF CONTROLLER
This will check if you want to replace this value or not.
Users Parameters
This element would be used to update the csv value with previous request response. In the below example, Date is the CSV value which is replaced with previous Response.
Hope the above solution will help you in resolving this problem.
I'm trying to create a simple stress test using JMeter. I have mostly GET requests and a couple POST requests. My main goal is to make this test as reusable as possible. I want to implement it in a way that the user would have to provide a CSV file with the following headers:
method;path;postBody
The values would look something like:
GET;/path/to/resource;''
POST;/path/to/resource;'{"key":"value","key":"value","key":"value"}'
Now POST (PUT, PATCH etc ..) bodies differ from one request to another. Providing ${postBody} to Body Data tab does not work "${postBody}" as well.
Is there a way to achieve this? Command line solutions are more than welcome as well.
EDIT: To clarify, I'm using the UI interface. When I input ${postBody} in the Body Data tab the UI complains. When switching from the Body Data tab to another one I get the following prompt:
Remove "'" around the request and it should work.
Regarding the warning you get, it is not an error, it is just that in JMeter those 2 tabs are exclusive:
Parameters tabs is for input of parameters in the form as name=value
Body data is for your kind of requirement
So can you test my hypothesis which is to remove the quote around the request in CSV file ?
If it still fails, please show the logs.
You can remain in Body Data tab,
Add after pathPost your optional query parameters for GET request:
${pathPost}?${getPramaters}
Don't worry about the ? it's just seperate path from parameters
Also consider changing variable name to path, more suitable because it can be POST.
In JSON , seperate between values while in CSV default is also ,
I suggest you can your CSV delimiter, In CSV Data Set Config Choose different Delimiter as ; and add your data in CSV accordingly (remove extra ' characters):
POST;/path/to/resource;{"key":"value","key":"value","key":"value"}
Notice: Allow quoted data keep default value False
In My application which I am testing there is a drop down and I have to select the option/value from the list, After selection the value there is a text field which get auto populated. So can we do the same in Jmeter.
Please share the experience if any body has done.
Thanks in advance!
This will be quite difficult.
Selecting the value from the dropdown list is easy. But then your application probably makes an AJAX request to the server to populate the other values. So you would have to :
set up a separate HTTP Request which simulates your AJAX request
parse the HTTP response for the variables you need
save them into jMeter variables
use those to populate your next page request (the form submit)
A much easier way is to use some test data which you already know, and just submit your form with those fields hardcoded into jMeter.
I would like to read the exact value of a variable I use to pass through an HTTP Request. I first read in many values of variables using the CSV Data Set Config. For the username, it is in the form of an email address. So, I have a variable called "email" in the Data Set Config. In the actual HTTP Request, for "name", I call it "username". For the "Value" field for this same "username", I added a time() function to it like this so I would end up creating unique users in my tests:
${email}${__time()
When I view the "Request" in a View Results Tree, I can see my parameter is listed correctly:
username=email1%40email.com1390854377360
I do not care if this is correct in real world terms. I already know that is not a valid email. That is ok for now.
What I want to know is how can I log that email that I just created on the fly? I would like to not have to pull in the whole request every time also and then use some type of Regular Expression extractor. It just seems like there should be an easy way to do this.
I think there are 2 ways,
Beanshell Pre/Post processors : you can write custom code in which you can log all your variables in some custom log file
Simple data writer : you can configure it and check save url,save field names,save response data field checkboxes that will give you complete data but in that later postprocessing on result file is required to get all usernames (email in your case).
first approach is easier and allows you create your own logging format(easy to retrieve and use somewhere else).
second approach is somewhat tedious and requires post processing.
