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 creating a script on groovy to be able to send http requests.
To call this script I'm using the JSR223 Sampler
The thing is that I would like to reproduce as much as possible the behaviour that a HTTP Sampler has, meaning that I want to perform the request and also to fill the sampler's info (Response data, Request and Response)
Although I'm able to obtain SampleResult and set Response data and Response, does not seem to exist a method to set our own request string:
https://jmeter.apache.org/api/org/apache/jmeter/samplers/SampleResult.html
Following the docs, the closest method to do what I want is the setRequestHeaders().
If I call that method like this SampleResult.setRequestHeaders("My custom text") something like this appears on the request tab:
File C:\Users\UserName\groovy_file.groovy
Request Headers:
My custom text
Is there any way to print only the string My custom text, on the Request?
EDIT
Sampler must use a script file instead of the script field
The easiest way would be just overwriting the data using prev.samplerData() shorthand from the JSR223 PostProcessor
prev.samplerData = 'put the desired request data here'
where prev stands for the parent SampleResult class instance, check out Top 8 JMeter Java Classes You Should Be Using with Groovy article for more information on the JMeter API shorthands available for the JSR223 Test Elements.
If you don't want the PostProcessor you can still call the same function from your Groovy script like:
SamplerResult.setSamplerData('put the desired request data here')
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}"
Hello i have GET method that URL example is:
http://localhost:8050/programs/b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18
Where the last String is just programId that I set as parameter in HTTP Request.
JMeter is kinda confused and the respond in raw request is:
GET http://localhost:8050/
GET data:
b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18
but there's just 404 in response data.
I can just delete parameter and write /programs/b3cb6a0f-5d29-4744-a7e8-5fa0099dab18 in path instead of /programs/ and everything works perfectly fine. IMO it's awful way. I'd prefer do it with parameter.
Write in path the parameter as /programs/${programId}.
This is part of the path and not parameter, parameters in GET request are different than POST see http methods
path/mypage?param1=value1¶m2=value2
I want to use Postman to test the REST API of a project, and I'm trying to a generic request. For example:
I have a POST request that makes a research, the parameters of this research
are in the body. How do I automate the request with a pre-request-script that modifies the body at each iteration?
Because I don't want to create a collection with 20 POST requests where only the body changes. I tried to use a while loop in pre-request-script or in test script but Postman executed the request only once. Then I tried to use the runner for calling the request 5 times, for example, and i wrote a script that modified a variable each time, but I think that global and environment variable are reset at each iteration of the runner.
Do you have any ideas?
enter image description here
I tried that to modify value of password when I use the runner. But if the runner reset variables at each iteration it can't work.
It's ok I found an other solution:
For example I want to test the request with 5 different password, i create 5 file json who correspond to my global variables or environment variables and in this files I modify just one variable. I use newman i a loop script to call the same request with different global variable file to modify just one parameter of the request.
You can also use set_nextRequest() (see http://blog.getpostman.com/2016/03/23/conditional-workflows-in-postman/). With this you should be able to force calling your request again with the new value for your password and not perform multiple iterations. If you use a global variable in your json body and you update it in your loop, it should work.
hope this helps

I've developed a method that does the following steps, in this order:
1) Get a report's metadata via /gdc/md//obj/
2) From that, get the report definition and use that as payload for a call to /gdc/xtab2/executor3
3) Use the result from that call as payload for a call to /gdc/exporter/executor
4) Perform a GET on the returned URI to download the generated CSV
So this all works fine, but the problem is that I often get back a blank CSV or an incomplete CSV. My workaround has been to put a sleep() in between getting the URI back and actually calling a GET on the URI. However, as our data grows, I have to keep increasing the delay on this, and even then it is no guarantee that I got complete data. Is there a way to make sure that the report has finished exporting data to the file before calling the URI?
The problem is that export runs as asynchronous task - result on the URL returned in payload of POST to /gdc/exporter/executor (in form of /gdc/exporter/result/{project-id}/{result-id}) is available after exporter task finishes its job.
If the task has not been done yet, GET to /gdc/exporter/result/{project-id}/{result-id} should return status code 202 which means "we are still exporting, please wait".
So you should periodically poll on the result URL until it returns status 200 which will contain a payload (or 40x/50x if something wrong happened).
