I have followed below steps to upload file in jmeter but it didn't worked. It throws Sorry, an error occurred while trying to execute your request. Please try again I have attached screenshots for more details.
Enabled Use multipart/form-data
Copied the file which is going to upload in /bin directory
I have tried with check/Uncheck Use multipart/form-data but no luck
In my HTTP request I passes action_id=1203 as Query parameters and in Form Parameters I am Passing other parameters like msgId, fieldId etc. but from screenshot you can observe when I execute that it passes my whole form parameters in just one single key of "msgId" I don't know why?
This are the headers which I pass
My Request with Query and Form parameters
File upload tab of http request
After execution request failed with this output. Here it passes all form params in single "msgId" key
F12 - Network request of Webpage form parameters (checked manually on web it works fine. Problem is in my jmeter request)
Just record the file upload using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and it will generate the relevant HTTP Request sampler and HTTP Header Manager configuration which can be later on correlated/parameterized.
The only thing you need to do is to copy the file you're uploading to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation before recording. File path can be changed to whatever you want afterwards.
Also according to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.5 (or whatever is the latest stable version which is available at JMeter Downloads page) as soon as possible.

I'm trying to upload .xlsx file using multipart/form-data request type,
however, I'm getting different errors such as:
multipart body length limit 16384 exceeded;
unexpected end of stream, the content may have already been read by another component;
These are parameters for POST request that should upload our .xlsx file:
screenshot_1
Method: POST;
Use multipart/form-data checkbox: unchecked;
File Path: C:\temp\5000Lanes.xlsx;
Parameter Name: file;
MIME Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
MIME type value is specified for .xlsx file types - https://www.freeformatter.com/mime-types-list.html;
These are Header Manager parameters
screenshot_2
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--AaB03x
Note that Body Data and Parameters left empty
screenshot_3
So, please help me to figure out what is wrong in configuration to make upload successful ?
After 1 day of struggle I've found the solution and now the upload is successful.
So, using the same configs that were specified in my question
the only thing you need to add is to proceed to 'Advanced' tab of your HTTP Request and set 'Implementation' parameter to Java

Remove Content-Type header from the HTTP Header Manager
Tick Use multipart/form-data box for the HTTP Request sampler:
Going forward be aware that you don't have to manually build file upload requests (as well as any other requests), you can record the file upload event using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just make sure to copy the file to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation otherwise JMeter won't be able to properly catch the request and generate correct HTTP Request sampler, see Recording File Uploads with JMeter for more details
According to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.3 (or whatever is the latest stable version available at JMeter Downloads page) on next available opportunity
Completely new to JMeter.
Just wondering if it can be configured to generate a file (i.e. .csv) and then post said file with a HTTP POST?
I've searched a bit on the internet but can't work out whether it is possible...
Reason I want to do this is that I want to test a server that receives data in the form of a .csv file and uploads it to a database. Hoping to test this server by sending a whole bunch of randomised data.
Would be good to have different threads sending different amounts of data at different rates.
Any tips would be amazing, I am a complete newbie.
Cheers
It is possible to upload a file using JMeter HTTP Request sampler.
JMeter supports beanshell which is Java - scripting language. It can be used to create a CSV file& store it in some path.
Update the csv file path in the 'Send file with the request' of the HTTP Request sampler.
I am trying to load-test a web application using JMeter. I used proxy and then run the test. I am able to login into the application, but for some pages it is giving response code 4** in JMeter.
After some homework I found that the request I am sending through the browser and Jmeter might be different, so to check the same I am using fiddler. Is this the correct approach to find the root cause of the problem? What all things/attributes I should compare in fiddler and Jmeter for such requests?
Any help is appreciated. If you want, I can provide more information.
Thanks a lot :)
Abhijeet,
Edit the jmeter.properties file which is located in the bin directory.
Un-comment the proxy.content_type_include=text/html|text/plain|text/xml
Save the file and restart Jmeter.
Try recording and see if this makes a difference.
I am using Apache JMeter 2.7 to load test Liferay. One such test I am creating involves dynamically generating files and uploading them to Liferay's Document and Media portlet. The problem I'm having has nothing to do with Liferay though... I know this because I can upload a document if I type the exact path into the "file path" box of "Send Files With the Request" in an HTTP request. This is not how I need the test to run.
I want the test to run in such a way that I generate a unique file each loop of the test with a different UUID for the file name (I do so in a BeanShell PreProcessor and it does as I want). I have a user defined variable FILENAME that I use to store the file name. In the HTTP Request, for the file path I use the path C:\Installs\Apache Jmeter\apache-jmeter-2.7\bin\${FILENAME} but JMeter does not process the variable.
When I view the Results Tree, I see the error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Installs\Apache
Jmeter\apache-jmeter-2.7\bin\${FILENAME} (The system cannot find the
file specified)
Yet, if I hard code the file path (for example ...\bin\doc.txt) and use ${FILENAME} as the value for the title of the document(a parameter I send in the HTTP Request), the document(doc.txt) uploads to the portlet with the string value of FILENAME as the title. This lets me know the right string is stored in the variable FILENAME. From this, I deduce that JMeter simply does not replace variables in the file path for sending files in an HTTP Request. If I am incorrect in this conclusion, please let me know how to fix whatever error I have. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am currently trying to create a workaround by adding a BeanShell PreProcessor to this http request that would dynamically update the filepath with the variable name. I would need to set some variable = vars.get("FILENAME"). Anyone know how to proceed from here to set the HTTP file path programmatically? I'm looking in the API for the answer. Any help would be much appreciated because I am completely stumped right now.
It is failing because you use \${FILENAME}.
This escapes $ so variable is not interpreted.
Solution:
C:\\Installs\\Apache Jmeter\\apache-jmeter-2.7\\bin\\${FILENAME}
(I cannot test as I am on Mac OS);
C:/Installs/Apache Jmeter/apache-jmeter-2.7/bin/${FILENAME}
(this works on Windows sure).
I'm building a web tool which allows users to upload PDFs to a server using their web browsers. The server is based on Python (Paste + Pyramid).
The problem I have right now is the following: If a user uploads a rather large file (let's say 100 MB) and they cancel the upload before it is completed, my handler code on the server is still called (instead of the request being aborted).
The problem is that the request.POST['myfile'].file is incomplete when that happens. This effectively means that the PDF file is corrupted if I simply write it to some place on the server.
When I watch the server's log, it shows a "broken pipe" exception within the Paste server; however I have no idea how to catch that exception and have it prevent my view/handler code from executing and storing the incomplete file.
Seems like the paster HTTP server does not correctly validate the uploaded form data and simply passes the request down the WSGI pipeline even if the connection (HTTP POST) was closed by the user.
I worked around this issue by simply setting up NGINX to act as a reverse proxy. This also adds some security benefits as it might be better tested than paster.
Update:
My main problem was that I was using runserver (the built in web server of manage.py). After some trial and error we ended up using WSGI.
More specifically, uWSGI and Nginx as web server. Static content is served directly by Nginx while dynamic pages are piped through uWSGI and are handled by the Python web app.
Unless you are doing something fancy (like tracking the upload progress, etc), your pylons controller should not be invoked until the entire file has been uploaded.
