I need to extract an Id (100000010) in an html response which is a table as shown below:
<tr>
<tr>
<td>
<B>
100000010
</B>
</td>
</tr>
</tr>
Following xpath extractor to get this:
//*[#id="screenlet_1_col"]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1]/b
which is exactly what chrome gave me. But I am not able to get the value in the variable in XPath extractor.
Any help?
Try using CSS/JQuery extractor, to give you the expression you need to show the full HTML. It seems based on XPath you only show part of HTML code.
XPath extractor with default settings will work for valid XML or XHTML only.
If your document isn't XML-compliant you'll need to check "Use Tidy" box in your XPath Extractor
Small example:
Given following test plan structure:
Thread Group with 1 thread and 1 loop
HTTP Request to "google.com" host with "/" path and parameter "q" = "test" (or whatever)
Xpath Extractor with "Reference Name" = "link" and "Xpath query" = "//a"
will give you nothing on default as Google Search Results Page isn't valid XHTML.
But when you set "Use Tidy" you'll get all links as JMeter Variables with "link_" prefix like
link_1=something
link_2=something else
link_3=....
Hope this helps

How to extract the "ni" value from the above html response body ? Please guide me.
You won't be able to do this using single alone XPath Extractor, the maximum it will give you is the whole onclick attribute value
once done you can use i.e. Boundary Extractor to extract the ni value from the onclick JMeter Variable
Demo:
In JMeter, I'm trying to extract the values of property key values using CSS selector extractor, for the attached HTML body
I used the expression #propertySummaryList > div, but not seeing any response in debug sampler.
I would use Boundary Extractor, simpler and faster.
Use parameters:
Left Boundary : propertykey="
Right Boundary: "
Match No.: -1
Allows the user to extract values from a server response using left and right boundaries
Don't post code as image as it's way harder to reproduce your issue
Try out the following selector instead: div[class=propertySummaryList] > div

How to Use the CSS/JQuery Extractor in JMeter
I am making scripts using JMeter to perform some tasks in which I want to access first request's response in the second request as a value parameter value using XPath extractor.
For Ex.
Here is my response of the first request in XML format:
<a>
<b>
<c>
<my_details>
<first_name>A</first_name>
<middle_name>B</middle_name>
<last_name>C</last_name>
</my_details>
</c>
</b>
</a>
Now, I want to use first name and last name in the second request's value. For that, I am using XPath extractor to get values from the response as given below:
But I got the response like:
JMeterVariables:
**full_name=A
full_name_1=A**
...
...
__jm__Thread Group__idx=0
__jmeter.USER_TOKEN__=Thread Group 1-1
So, my question is, how can I get the full name using single XPath extractor?
Try to extract "first_name" and last "last_name" separately using XPath extractor , Then use Beanshell post-processor to create Jmeter variable for fullname , Like
vars.put("full_name",vars.get("FIRST NAME JMETER VARIABLE")+" "+vars.get("LAST NAME JMETER VARIABLE"));
I was able to achieve the desired result using the concat() function (https://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/).
I utilized XPath2 Extractor with Xpath query set to:
concat(//my_details/first_name, " ", //my_details/last_name)
This leads to output variable being assigned the value "A C":
Please, note that it is currently advised to use XPath2 Extractor
(https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#XPath_Extractor):
So I need to delete an "onclick" dynamic link using jmeter.
Here is the sample of one of the links:
"Delete"
What I need is to extract number and post it in order to do the delete action. Every link is the same except the number.
I have tried to implement some of the solutions I've found on this site but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance
Peace
If you need to do it with XPath you could try going for substring-after function like:
substring-after(//a[text()='Delete']/#href,'param=')
The above expression returns everything which is after param= text in href attribute of a HTML tag having Delete text.
You can test your XPath expressions against actual server response using XPath Tester tab of the View Results Tree listener.

XPath Tutorial
I am trying to get the value from a hidden input field. I researched and found many sites ( including instances on this site ) showing great examples. When I try them, I am not able to retrieve the value from this hidden field using the methods I have learned. I have tried both an xpath extractor and a regular expression extractor, but neither one retrieves the value from the hidden field.
Also, I will note that in the tree on the left side in JMeter, I put the extractors as a child to the HTTP Request where the token first appears. Are the extractors supposed to be children or are they supposed to be at the same level as the HTTP Request, but just after it in the flow of the test?
==============================
Here, I will explain my set up. There is an HTTP request from a form. There is a token on the form. I need to get the value for this token. Here is the html for the page where the token appears:
<form action="/folder1/part1/save/12345-1234-1234-1234-123456789012" method="post" name="mgr" id="mgr" >
<input type="hidden" name="token" value="1234-12-12-12-1234" id="token" />
==============================
For the Regular Expression Extractor, I have tried all of these, one at a time for each test run:
//input[#type="hidden" and name="token"]/#value
//input[#type="hidden"][#name="token"]/#value
//input[#type="hidden"]/[#name="token"]/#value
//input[#type="hidden"][#name="token"]/#value/[#id="token"]
//input[#type="hidden"]/[#name="token"]/#value/[#id="token"]
For the XPath Extractor, I have tried all of these, one at a time for each test run:
//[#id="token"]
/html/body/div/div[2]/div/form/input[1]
//html/body/div/div[2]/div/form/input[1]
Try this one: //input[#type="hidden" and #name="token"]/#value
Also, you could test your expressions exactly in JMeter. For example, this xpath extraction you could check in XPath Tester element in View Result Tree Listener. There you could find Regexp Tester too
