Jmeter xpath extractor - jmeter

Hi
I am new to JMeter. I was trying to extract the response values from the response xml and store it back in a csv file or an excel file. I am not able to do so.
Can someone help me out on this matter.

You'll need to create a Beanshell script to this, as Jmeter doesn't naively have this functionality.

I had come across similar scenario and my suggestion would be to write a SAX parser in pure java and add it as jar in Jmeter lib folder.
A Bean Shell Post processor can be used to import this jar and pass the response xml to the parsing method. Good Luck

Any option to change the name of the file which is on disk during runtime to execute upload functionality in Jmeter

I have a scenario where one of the test REST API returns a transaction_Id, this transaction Id I need to pass in my next request(API Request), also upload the file as well. This upload file has name format like ${transaction_Id}_1_1_bkg.raw,without correct format backend server may not be able to analyze the data.
Since I have to run a load test, these transaction Ids will generate at run time and the same I have to change the file name and upload it as well.
Did any one had face this challenge before in Jmeter to change the file name at run time and upload it, if yes, what was the solution.
Thanks,
Akshat
You could copy the file to a new one with the desired name using JSR223 PreProcessor like
org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.copyFile(new File('template_bkg.raw'), new File(vars.get('transaction_Id') + '_1_1_bkg.raw'))
where vars stands for JMeterVariables class instance, see the JavaDoc for more information on all existing functions and Top 8 JMeter Java Classes You Should Be Using with Groovy article to learn more about JMeter API shorthands available for the JSR223 Test Elements.
Once upload is finished you can delete the file using JSR223 PostProcessor

How to Parameterize JMeter HTTP Sampler Method?

can we parameterize the HTTP Sampler method in Jmeter ?
I am using Jmeter 2.13.
I tried the solution remomended here but no luck.
How to parameterize http methods in Jmeter using CSV data config?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hari
Create a file, i.e. test.csv with the following contents:
GET
POST
Add CSV Data Set Config and configure it like:
Filename: test.csv
Variable Names: METHOD
Add HTTP Request sampler and set "Method" to ${METHOD}
That's it, when you run your test each iteration it will use the next line from the test.csv file
Also be aware that according to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the most recent JMeter version so consider upgrading to JMeter 4.0 (or whatever version is available at JMeter downloads page) as soon as possible

JMeter zip file download from server

I have a requirement to download zip file from server through JMeter to test the peroformance but for me the downloaded files are shown in x-filler, i need to have the zip file downladed.
Please help me here
Thanks in Advance
Simulating file download event using JMeter is as simple as sending HTTP GET request using HTTP Request sampler.
If you need to save the response somewhere for later reuse or analysis add Save Response to a file listener as a child of the request which performs the download. Check out Performance Testing: Upload and Download Scenarios with Apache JMeter article for comprehensive explanation.
Be aware that storing responses will cause huge disk IO overhead during the load test so I would recommend ticking Save response as MD5 hash box under "Advanced" tab of the HTTP Request sampler and use MD5Hex Assertion to compare the MD5 checksum of the response with some reference value.
To download any file, you need to extract it using Regular Expression Extractor.
Add the Regular Express Extractor to the request where you want to download and configure the fields as shown below. Use (?s)(^.*) as the expression to extract everything.
Add the Save Responses to a File sampler and configure the fields as shown below.
Execute the test plan. In the JMETER_HOME\bin\, you can see the zip file. Extract the zip file and validate.
The easiest way is to use your own code to download the file. The options are BeanShell Postprocessor or JSR223 Postprocesor.
I extracted file name from response header Content-Disposition, save it to varible, and the use variable for filename. Additional variable was defined on Test level, holding folder name where to save files.

How to import webservices in Jmeter

I'm trying to import the webservices that are in the WSDL into Jmeter using SOAP/XML-RPC request. But I didn't see anything with the 'Import' or LoadWSDL option. I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsmrHK6FPjA which has the webservice(SOAP) request which I cant see it in my Jmeter version.
The reason I'm asking is because in each SOAP/XML-RPC Data, I've to open SOAPUI to get blank request and then paste it in the Jmter. We have hundreds of webservices to test and this method is getting very lengthy process.
Is there a way in Jmeter to create blank requests like SOAP UI if I give the wsdl URL and it generates all possible requests for us. Thanks in advance.
There is no such import feature in JMeter.
But a way to do it is to put JMeter as a proxy for SOAP UI using HTTP Test Script Recorder, then you would avoid Copy/paste thing.
Read also this for up to date way of testing webservices:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-ws-test-plan.html
As per the jmeter latest version help WebService(SOAP) Request sampler is DEPRECATED. This sampler is having load WSDL option. Try older version of jmeter..

Randomizing http request path in Jmeter

Currently my jmeter tests have a few GET http requests. In the request, i've got data filled in the "path" field.
I'm looking for a way to randomize Jmeter so it will call an array of "paths", however i can't seem to figure this out. Anyone have any tips?
thanks!
JMeter's test element most commonly used for parametrization and data-driven testing is CSV Data Set Config
There are built-in JMeter Functions which can be used to get data from external sources
__StringFromFile
__CSVRead
There is a chooseRandom function available via JMeter Plugins
