I am wanting to achieve the following in JMETER
Jmeter loads CSV file with id numbers
Each user/thread in Jmeter picks a id number and adds it to their HTTP request e.g. http:www.testsite.com/test.php?id=x
Repeat step 2 , selecting the next id number in the file.
This is so I can test that my servlet is performing multiple threads with connection pooling.
I have tried manually entering in values here
However this is not working.
Schema Layout:
Thanks
You can try to implement your schema as below:
1. Prepare your test-IDs in csv-file, e.g. in the following format:
id1
id2
...
idN
2. Use the following schema:
CSV Data Set Config
Filename: [path to your csv-file with test-IDs]
Variable Names: testID // extracted id can be referred as ${testID}
Recycle on EOF? False
Stop thread on EOF? True
Sharing mode: Current thread // this mode allows EACH thread use ALL values from csv
Thread Group
Number of Threads: N // count of your test-threads (users)
Loop Count: Forever
. . .
HTTP Request // your http call
Server Name or IP: www.testsite.com
Path: /test.php?id=${testID} // use variable with extracted ID
. . .

I have two CSV files, test1.csv and test2.csv. These two tests are slightly different, but I want to test them through the same test plan and report on them together. Therefore, I thought I would create two test fragments.
I have a thread group called 10 Concurrent Users because it's a thread group that will have 10 threads. I want this thread group to first run the Test 1 Test Fragment and then Test 2 Test Fragment. I want each test fragment to end after the corresponding CSV file reaches EOF.
I understand I can set Stop thread on EOF to true, but I don't want to stop the thread. I just want to "end" this test fragment. How do I do this?
This is what my Thread Group looks like. I don't want it to run infinitely, and I don't want to hard code the number of iterations.
One way I found was to just have two separate thread groups. One thread group for the first CSV file and one thread group for the second CSV file. Set the Thread Groups to "Infinite" and have "Stop Thread on EOF" set to true for each Data Set Module. However, it would be nice to not have to have separate thread groups as they are just duplicates of each other
In same thread group define a While Controller per CSV Data Set Config
Define in While's condition the value you get from CSV
Define an while controller with the Condition as ${url}
And don't recycle list on EOF:
To stop execution after the end of the CSV file is reached: within the CSV Data Set Config set Recycle on EOF? = False and Stop thread on EOF? = True.
If you want to iterate all the values in the CSV file and then continue you can configure the CSV Data Set Config like:
and put your Sampler(s) under the While Controller using the following __jexl3() function as the condition:
${__jexl3("${myVar}" != "<EOF>",)}
Another option is putting the logic under the Loop Controller, the number of lines in the CSV file can be determined dynamically using the following __groovy() function
${__groovy(new File('/path/to/your/file.csv').readLines().size(),)}
I have to make a GET call on IDs stored in a CSV while and I have to retry on GET call till it returns 200 response code.
This is what my current structure looks like ..
GET thread group
Once only controller to grab authentication for each thread
While Controller with condition "${__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.
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.

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.
My test plan scenario is to do load-testing for 100 concurrent users login to website.
I have created Threadgroup with Number of threads as 100.
Created CSV file which contains 100 users login details (unique usernames and passwords).
Under Sign in sample added a “User Parameter” from Thread Group -> PreProcessors to it. Added variables using __CSVRead function which reads values from file test.csv.
Selected the login sample and changed the values of userid and password to ${A} and ${B}.
Is this the right way to do or is there any alternative way to achieve this?
If this works for you and works as you expect, that's enough.
But looks like CSV Data Set Config is more suitable and easier to use for multi-user scenarios than __CSVRead function:
Thread Group
Number of Threads: N // count of your test-threads (users)
Loop Count: 1
CSV Data Set Config
Filename: [path to your csv-file with usernames / passwords]
Variable Names: username,pwd // extracted values can be referred as ${username}, ${pwd}
Recycle on EOF? False
Stop thread on EOF? True
Sharing mode: Current thread group
. . .
HTTP Request // your http call
. . .
As per documentation:
The function is not suitable for use with large files, as the entire
file is stored in memory. For larger files, use CSV Data Set Config
element or StringFromFile.
