I am using Jmeter to create script for one of my application. The application contains customer profile details. Few fields are present in the form of drop down list. I should correlate values that i select from the dropdown list. Below is one sample field:
-- Select --
EMPLOYEE
NORMAL
Here i need to select NORMAL which means i should capture the value NORMAL and replace it in the script.I have captured the entire list from "-- Select --
EMPLOYEE
NORMAL" in a variable and used split function to capture NORMAL from the captured value. but i am unable to capture the value NORMAL correctly. Can anyone please explain me how split function works in jmeter and what unique value should i put as seperator to capture the selected value NORMAL.
Please let me know how can this be achieved.
Thanks in Advance,
Gayathri
Have you checked out the manual on the split function?
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html#__split
Example:
Define SOURCE="a||c|" in the test plan.
${__split(${SOURCE},SPLIT),|}
This will return the contents of VAR, i.e. "a||c|" and set the following variables:
SPLIT_n=4 (3 in JMeter 2.1.1 and earlier)
SPLIT_1=a
SPLIT_2=?
SPLIT_3=c
SPLIT_4=? (null in JMeter 2.1.1 and earlier)
SPLIT_5=null (in JMeter 2.1.2 and later)
In your case, to get "normal", you'd want to reference ${SPLIT_3}
Depending on the source code, it might be easier to write a regex to extract your value:

I had a scenario like I need to select one random date range from drop down list of values(like today, yesterday, last month etc). How should i select one value randomly every time from the drop down list.waht function or method i need use in my jmeter script.Any one please help me. Thanks in advance
The easiest way to get this done is using HTML Link Parser, refer Poll Example user manual entry for more details, basically you need to provide input name and a wildcard like .* and JMeter will automatically scan the possible options and pick up a random value.
Other option (if the above one is not applicable for some reason) is using XPath Extractor or CSS/JQuery Extractor to get the possible dropdown values from the page DOM, Match No. parameter set to 0 will return the random option value.
Using TeamCity 9.1.4.
I'm trying to get some server hostnames into a Command Line script with Configuration Parameters. I want each option to contain multiple hostnames.
My configuration:
vanmain => rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer
tor => rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr
fvcdc => rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer
bccfa => rad-bccfa
When I select fvcdc in a build, I receive the following error message:
One of entered values 'rad-fvcdc' is not one of valid select item values: rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer,rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr,rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer,rad-bccfa
How do I get the values into my script?
Dunkan,
I successfully reproduced your issue and was able to find out the root cause of it.
On my virtual installation I created a build with select type parameter, let's name it HostValue. Next, in Items field I copy/pasted values from your initial post and tried to reproduce the problem -- but executing the build was successful. Then I decided to reconfigure parameter and toggled Allow multiple checkbox, and viola, same error message as you got!
If you read small text below Value separator field, you will see, that default value is comma: , and as your values contain this symbol you got an error.
So, to solve this problem I can suggest you these variants:
If you don't need multiple choices, you can just turn off this feature and everything should work.
Replace default Value separator with custom one, for example <SEP>. Then whenever you will select multiple values for this parameter you will get something like:
"rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer"<SEP>"rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr"<SEP>"rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer"
Replace comma in your values with some other separator, for example | or :. In this case it would look like:
"rad-ecr1:rad-ecr2:rad-ecr3:rad-myecr:rad-balancer","rad-fvcdc:rad-balancer"
After that you can use the value of this parameter as usual %HostValue% and parse depending on which variant you choose.
Maybe the error message from server could be a little bit clearer. Hope it will help you.
Also I would like to recommend you my plugin teamcity-web-parameters. It will allow you to create dynamic select values from external web service.
Take a look at this thread: https://teamcity-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206843785-How-to-specify-empty-value-for-Typed-Parameter -- looks very similar to your question.
Writing script in LR for Siebel Open UI. All my requests contains this parameter, with different values. What does it mean?
Examples (from different requests):
"Name=SWEIPS", Value = #0'0'1'0'GetProfileAttr'3'attrName'SBRF Position Id'"
"Name=SWEIPS", Value = #0'0''0'3'1-SQE21A, 1-SQL21E, 1SQE31"
And so on.
Can I simple delete it?
Can I simply delete it? - No, you’re not supposed to delete it.
Compare SWEIPS value by recording twice or trice with different data sets, check is there any date/time values in SWEIPS. If there is nothing to correlate leave as it is, no need to delete.
Ensure to correlate values like SWET,ROWID,SWECount,SWEC and so on.
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.
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.
