I have a csv file which contains a column named "query". One of the entires I have for query is /user/${id}/list/${list}.
What I would like to do is let jMeter overwrite the ${list} and ${id} variables in the query when it is passed to a HTTP Sampler with variable values already in use from previous steps in my test plan.
For example:
In test plan, create ${id} = 5 and ${list} = 10.
In test plan, open csv file that contains query string.
In test plan, perform use a HTTP Sampler. Path in query should be the query value passed from csv file.
3a. Jmeter should take query passed to sampler and replace ${id} and ${list} with the values stored to those variables within test plan (5 and 10).
Right now when I try this, the HTTP response comes back showing the request was made to /user/${id}/list/${list}, not /user/5/list/10.
Does anyone know how to force the substitution through jMeter?
Is it even possible?
I was able to figure this one out after a bit of head scratching.
JMeter allows you to overload variables (place references to variables within a variable) by using the __eval function.
To get around the issue, I left the csv file as is, with references to variables set. When I wanted to reference the query from the csv file and overload the variable placeholders with actual values I used ${__eval(${query})} - where query = the
Try to use __eval function instead:
/user/${__eval(${id})}/list/${__eval(${list})}
__eval function seems to be just your case.

To achieve:- To send the below-mentioned string to a server every 10 secs.
Text to Send:- '''XXXXXXX,XXXXXXX,XXXXXXXX,${packettype},${msgid},${pcktsts},${__threadGroupName},TSXXTSXXXX,${gpsfix},31082022,${__groovy(new Date().format("HHmmss", TimeZone.getTimeZone('UTC')),)},${lat},${latdir},${long},${longdir},${speed},${head},${sat},${alt},${pdop},${hdop},${network},${ignsts},${mpsts},${mivolt},${ibvoltusg},${emsts},${tampalt},31,404,86,7b73,b74a,86,02a2,7b73,49,4d0a,7d0b,49,1948,7b73,59,Ffff,0000,100000,001,${frame},0.0,0.0,${ddist},()*${checksum}'''
Here in the above text, I want the variables to be replaced automatically on every request with the data pre-defined (against that particular variable) in a CSV file.
Note:- I want to send the above data/string through a TCP Sampler.
Suggestions are appreciated if someone could suggest a better way of achieving the same.
If you have a variable from the CSV file which contains references to other JMeter Variables or functions you need to wrap it into __eval() function
For example:
You have foo variable with the value of bar
You have entry in the CSV file which looks like ${foo}
You defined some-variable in the CSV Data Set Config which returns this ${foo} entry from the file
then:
${some-variable} will return ${foo}
and ${__eval(${some-variable})} will return bar

I have two variables (create_date) took from SQL queries, and I want to validate the results.
Using Regular Expression I fetch both created date and I want to make sure that the dates is not equal.
I have created the following BeanShell assersion to compare both variables:
enter image description here
however, I'm getting the following error:
enter image description here
You're mixing 2 approaches:
Referencing variables like ${CreateDateBefore} in scripts (which you should not be using at all)
And using vars shorthand for JMeterVariables class instance
Apart from this you're using double to store some form of a timestamp
So you need to update your code like:
String var1 = vars.get("CreateDateBefore");
String var2 = vars.get("CreateDateAfter");
Also be aware that since JMeter 3.1 you should be using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting so consider migrating to JSR223 Assertion
And last but not the least, you can compare 2 JMeter Variables using "normal" Response Assertion configured like:
I am using jmeter to test ldap.
As part of my test, I want to search for a random uid on each iteration. I did not find a straight forward answer to this. So my idea was to first select a random number 1-200 and saving that number as a variable named uid, that number would correspond to a UDV name.
For example
uid = 2 and 2 = A123456
in my udv list. However when trying to reference this variable in my ldap search filter.I am trying to use
(uid=${${uid}})
in hopes to get the value of the value of uid. However the search results just show this as a string.
<searchfilter>(uid=${${uid}})</searchfilter>
Is there another way to achieve what I am looking for?
Use __V function
${__V(${uid})}
The V (variable) function returns the result of evaluating a variable name expression. This can be used to evaluate nested variable references
${__V(A${N})} - works OK. A${N} becomes A1, and the __V function returns the value of A1
Perhaps the easiest would be going for __RandomFromMultipleVars() function?
Another option is using __V() function, it can combine and evaluate JMeter Variables
I have assigned a variable ${WH} to 22 and now want to assign ${WH} to another variable called ${W_ID}. I have tried a couple of things, but none of them seem to be working.
None of below working (used in User Defined variable page):
W_ID=${__eval(${WH})}
W_ID=${__evalVar(WH)}
W_ID=${__V(${WH})}
I can't figure out why the value doesn't get stored in W_ID. How can this be done?
You can add JSR223 Sampler language can be Javascript and write:
vars.put("WS_ID", vars.get("WH"))
This will move WH value to WS_ID variable.
There's an issue if you are using multiple User Defined Variables, later assignment can override previous assignment, try to avoid it. The reason can be found in manual:
Note that all the UDV elements in a test plan - no matter where they
are - are processed at the start.
You can use the __groovy() function available since JMeter 3.1.
The relevant Groovy expression which will read ${WH} variable value and save the result into ${W_ID} variable will look something like:
${__groovy(vars.get('WH'),W_ID)}
Demo:
You can put the function anywhere in your script. See Functions and Variables JMeter User Manual chapter for more information.
It's a long story, but I will try make it simple:
I generated MeterMaid XML files with SugarMMM; I chose only the Accounts module:
I converted above files to JMeter format with MeterMaid (I consolidated the tests into one file and named it "filename.xml"):
ruby GenMeter.rb --inputfile=filename.xml --outputfile=filename.jmx
I did the necessary CSV setup. All the CSV file contains is the login details (usr,pwd) for testing concurrent user logins. This part works well indeed.
When I run the test, I can see that a whole bunch of ${} variables are converted into corresponding values. Sadly, ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1} doesn't get resolved... here's what the GET url (from View Results Tree Listener component) looks like:
http://localhost/sugarcrm/index.php?module=${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1}&action=Popup&hide_clear_button=true&mode=MultiSelect&create=true&metadata=undefined
Note that it's not the only variable that isn't resolved. The following screenshot shows the other tests that fail, all also caused by other variables not replaced by their corresponding values:
Here's how this variable is set up (which is well before the time it's used):

Verify in your CSV dataset config, all variables are declared correctly (no typos, no omissions, no spaces before variable names, etc.)
I would also suggest putting a debug sampler high in your tree, as it will show you every variable and its value and can save a lot of time.
Edit:
It looks like your regex is setup incorrectly for creating multiple groups. If you look in your Debug sampler, you have SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE=Accounts but not SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1= . This implies you don't have GROUPS setup.
In looking at your regex, the line template: $0$ is saying "only give me one group", whereas it looks like you want 4. Thus, you should try template: $1$$2$$3$$4$ the first match should be _g1 the second _g2 and so on. Check out the manual for details.
make judicious use of the ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1} variable throughout the script after it gets defined by the Regular Expression Extractor. Verify it exists. Use it in Controller titles, test headings, at the beginning of tests, and at the end of tests.
That will help narrow it down
This way you can follow it along in the script to make sure it exists just before the moment it is used, and find where it's breaking down. Basically print statement debugging.
I don't know about sugar CRM or metermaid but for jmeter I had a similar problem with variable that were not resolve.
Check if this variable is declared somewhere or maybe you need to write a reg ex to extract that value from the previous request.
The problem I got It was that I extracted the variable from a CSV files
the variable name was CONTRACTNO, CLIENTNO
my URL : /SomeURL/bla?eventId=contractSelected&contractNoSelected=${CONTRACTNO}&applicationID=BLa
And it wasn't working so I changed the variable name in the csv file to :
CONTRACTNO,CLIENTNO (look that I removed a space)
Jmeter tend to be very picky with space in name and variable definition.
You are expecting the following values
${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1}
but you have configured the Regular Expression Extractor reference name as
"SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE"
There two options you can get the values
You have to change the ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE_g1} into ${SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE}
You have to change the Regular Expression Extractor reference name as "SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE _g1" to "SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE"
After this your values will be replaced properly.
It looks like your regular expression isn't picking up a match, your default value is set to "Accounts" and in your debug output that's the value of the variable. You'll only get match groups if the regular expression matches.
The View Results Tree listener now has a RegExp tester, so you can go to the request that you're trying to extract the variable SUBPANEL_RELATE_MODULE from the result in the results tree and choose RegExp Tester from the dropdown where it says "Text".
You can then run your regular expression on the response data in the RegExp tester and probably find that it doesn't match and then hone your regular expression so that it matches and update it in your Regular Expression Extractor.
