I have my XML Body data (attached screenshot below),
From screenshot you can see value 123456789 in Signature.
I'm looking to make 123456789 a dynamic variable value, So that JMeter automatically gets that value from server whenever I run script.
I'm looking something like Regular expression extractor but for SOAP request.
You can add Regular Expression Extractor with values:
Reference Name: aSignature
Regular expression: (\d+)</aSignature>
Template: $1$
Match No: 1
You'll get First match of all numbers before aSignature end tag.
It'll save value in a variable you can use later as ${aSignature} (or vars.get("aSignature") in JSR223 component)
Using Regular expression is better than using XPath according to jmeter mailing, ubik and testautomationguru.
Add XPath Extractor as a child of your request
Configure it as follows:
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. signature
XPath Expression: //*[local-name()='aSignature']/text()
Refer the extracted value as ${signature} where required.

I'm using JMeter to test a microservice and I need to use a parameter dynamically with a different value in each request. Also, the parameter is a part of a query that contains other constant values as well.
I defined user variables in the JMeter user.properties file (in JMeter bin folder):
JMeter -- bin/user.properties
# Parameters to use in JMeter
ES_HOST=127.0.0.1
ES_PORT=9200
ES_INDEX=segments
ES_TYPE=_doc
THREAD=5
CSVDATA_ROOT=C:/devtools/apache-jmeter-5.2.1/csv_data
Of course, I have User-Defined Variables:
And how my Test Plan is defined in JMeter
As you can see in the following screenshot of View Result Tree the parameter agentName I defined and shown in the HTTP Request (above) is working.
I want to define it in the body of the HTTP Request, to replace the hardcoded "John Doe" with a parameters that have a different value in each request.
"query":"SearchStartTime=2020-01-01 00:00:00.000TO2020-01-31 23:59:59.999&AgentName=John Doe"}
How can I do that?
I need a way to add a parameter to an existing string
I've already tried Using Apache JMeter to Test Elasticsearch (or any REST API) and In Jmeter, What would be syntax of parameters in Body Data section of HTTP Request Sampler, for Rest APIs and input should be generated dynamically also doesn't solve my problem.
Use same syntax as HTTP request - ${agentname} for getting variable value:
"query":"SearchStartTime=2020-01-01 00:00:00.000TO2020-01-31 23:59:59.999&AgentName=${agentname}"
XML response :
<silent><send-sss destination="*1234">TEST mId=dev oId=XXXXXXXXX</send-sms></silent>
JMeter response assertion:
Pattern matching Rule: contains
Pattern to test: silent
Failed Reason:
org.apache.oro.text.MalformedCachePatternException: Invalid expression: *1234
?+* follows nothing in expression
Could anyone please let me know what should be there is an assertion that it should fail. I tried using few patterns but it didn't work for me.
In Response Assertion to find part of a string you need to choose Substring in Pattern Matching rules
Contains, Matches: Perl5-style regular expressions
Equals, Substring: plain text, case-sensitive
If you choose Contains (meaning regular expression) , you need to escape *, then use
\*1234
For XML response types it makes more sense to go for XPath Assertion which allows checking response using arbitrary XPath queries.
If you want to test presence of <silent> tag only the relevant XPath query would be as simple as //silent.
With regards to Response Assertion, its Contains mode is PatternMatcher.contains() so it requires a regular expression, not a simple String so you should be using something like .*silent.* as the pattern.
See How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps article for more information on defining custom pass/fail criteria using JMeter Assertions.
I have one Rest API with the format as
"https://server name/insecure/client_name/product_id/normalized"
How can I parameterise only client_name and product_id using jmeter and What Sampler should I use.
you can use an external file to parameterize the url
make the parameter a variable: /insecure/${client_name}/product_id/normalized
Then you define the value of ${client_name} wherever and however appropriate: a CSV dataset config, using a regular expression extractor to scrape from a webpage, etc.
i see older post which might be helpful as well or following blog post JMeter Parameterization
Cheers!
In a JMeter (v2.13) test plan I have a SOAP/XML-RPC sampler. The SOAP request itself is loaded from a random file.
Sample request
<mySoapRequest>
<value>555</value>
</mySoapRequest>
This works fine.
I would now like to replace this fixed value with a variable which is defined in JMeter, i.e.
<mySoapRequest>
<value>${someValue}</value>
</mySoapRequest>
It seems as if JMeter does not resolve this variable. The actual SOAP request sent to the service does not contain 555 but ${someValue}. Is there any workaround so that I could use variables in the file?
That can be done using FileToString and eval functions.
For this XML,
<mySoapRequest>
<value>${someValue}</value>
</mySoapRequest>
In the SOAP/XML RPC request Data section, use the functions as shown below to get the value replaced at run time.
${__eval(${__FileToString(C:\users\me\desktop\soap.xml)})}
__FileToString - The FileToString function can be used to read an entire file. Each time it is called it reads the entire file.
__eval - The eval function returns the result of evaluating a string expression.
i am using Jmeter to simulate multiple users to upload a file into server
i used Badboy to record a script and export it to Jmeter
to upload a file a need to get the UUID that is responded by the server so i can use it for the rest of the HTTP request i have tried to use regular expression extractor using this expression
${UUID} = \S*
but it did not work also i used the uuid function to generate a random UUID but i could not configure it in a way to make the request repeated until match the UUID the have been returned by the server
any one can help me?
For extracting UUID you'll need to configure Regular Expression Extractor Post Processor as follows:
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. UUID
Regular Expression: for Version 4 UUID it would be something like ([a-f0-9]{8}-[a-f0-9]{4}-4[a-f0-9]{3}-[89aAbB][a-f0-9]{3}-[a-f0-9]{12})
Template: $1$
You can test your regular expression against returned data using View Results Tree Listener (select RegExp Tester from dropdown)
For more information refer to Using RegEx (Regular Expression Extractor) with JMeter guide.
