I am performing a search request in jmeter. So my test plan flow is home then login then product catalogue and then search. I tried to make a post request for search but it failing all the time. I used a CSV file so each time the query is changed. But then I used a get request and used the query variable in the search path like this search?query=${search_input}and then it passed but when i checked the html it is not the correct page. In the html response I also see this
{{noSearchResults.query}}'. But if i put the url on the browser it works fine. Can you please help me with this?
Double check that your ${search_input} variable has the anticipated value using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination
It might be the case that your ${search_input} variable contains special characters which need to be URL-encoded so you might need to wrap the variable into __urlencode() function like:
search?query=${__urlencode(${search_input})}
JMeter automatically treats responses with status code below 400 as successful, if you need to add an extra layer of check for presence of the results or absence of {{noSearchResults.query}} - use Response Assertion

I have a GET Request that is returning an XML that contains a TicketName. I have setup the Regular Expression Extractor with Debug Sampler. It is picking up the TicketName as required and is displaying it in the View Results Tree, with the correct name variable name ticketID_g1.
However when I pass that variable to the next GET request the test plan fails with Non HTTP response message: Socket closed.
The thing is that the GET request looks find when I look at the request tab in the Results Tree.
I have changed my regular expression a number of times with each one extracting the TicketName properly but each time I apply it as a variable the GET request fails. However if I copy the request showing in the Results Tree Request Tab and paste it directly into my browser I get the desired result.
I have been through the manuals and on-line tutorials and it appears that I am doing everything right but obviously I am missing something.
The 1st GET Request returns an XML that contains name="2019-05-09-16-59-54cmrpip000613_EDASERVE" needsPrompt
I am using the following regular expression to extract the name for my variable ticketID
name="([^"]+)" needsPrompt - This works
The Results Tree is showing the following response from the Debug Sampler -
ticketID_g1=2019-05-09-16-59-54cmrpip000613_EDASERVE
When I pass the ticketID variable to the next GET request
//localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs?IBIRS_action=getReport&IBIRS_ticketName=${ticketID_g1}cmrpip000589_EDASERVE&IBIRS_service=defer
The Response tab in the Results Tree for the second GET request is showing that the request is good but is failing.
GET http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs?IBIRS_action=getReport&IBIRS_ticketName=2019-05-09-16-59-54cmrpip000613_EDASERVE&IBIRS_service=defer
What I am expecting is that this second GET will run with the variable and return a report but is throwing the Non HTTP response message: Socket closed error.
You have below variable which is capturing ticket id.
ticketID_g1=2019-05-09-16-59-54cmrpip000613_EDASERVE
But, in the below request you are passing the same which also have repeated content that is
"cmrpip000589_EDASERVE"
Request:-//localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs?IBIRS_action=getReport&IBIRS_ticketName=${ticketID_g1}cmrpip000589_EDASERVE&IBIRS_service=defer
Please pass the ticketID variable correctly and hopefully it solves the issue. If I am correct you request should look like:-
Request:-//localhost:8080/ibi_apps/rs?IBIRS_action=getReport&IBIRS_ticketName=${ticketID_g1}&IBIRS_service=defer
I need to fire some requests using Postman but I need to include the parameter in the URL.
What I need:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/RanDOMid
What I currently can configure in Postman:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/?id=RanDOMid
I do not control the server, so I need to work it out how to craft the request in Postman to accept the input data as part of the URL, not as parameter. How can I specify input data in Postman to get it included in URL?
Click on Manage Environment
Add variable as path with Initial and current value as RanDOMid
Add path to URL:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{path}}
#User7294900's answer should do for you in case all you want to do is include a variable in your request URL.
However, if you want to actually generate a random ID for every request, you may use {{$guid}} or {{$randomInt}} directly in you URL as follows:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{$guid}}
This will generate a random GUID every time your request is fired and the generated GUID will replace {{$guid}} in your URL.
or
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{$randomInt}}
This will generate a random integer between 0 and 1000 every time your request is fired and the generated integer will replace {{$randomInt}} in your URL.
Refer postman documentation for more details - https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/environments_and_globals/variables
Hope this helps!
I run some load tests (all endpoints) and we do have a known issue in our code: if multiple POST requests are sent in the same time we do get a duplicate error based on a timestamp field in our database.
All I want to do is to count timeouts (based on the message received "Service is not available. Request timeout") in a variable and accept this as a normal behavior (don't fail the tests).
For now I've added a Response Assertion for this (in order to keep the tests running) but I cannot tell if or how many timeout actually happen.
How can I count this?
Thank you
I would recommend doing this as follows:
Add JSR223 Listener to your Test Plan
Put the following code into "Script" area:
if (prev.getResponseDataAsString().contains('Service is not available. Request timeout')) {
prev.setSampleLabel('False negative')
}
That's it, if sampler will contain Service is not available. Request timeout in the response body - JMeter will change its title to False negative.
You can even mark it as passed by adding prev.setSuccessful(false) line to your script. See Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It article fore more information on what else you can do with Groovy in JMeter tests
If you just need to find out the count based on the response message then you can save the performance results in a csv file using simple data writer (configure for csv only) and then filter csv based on the response message to get the required count. Or you can use Display only "errors" option to get all the errors and then filter out based on the expected error message.
If you need to find out at the runtime then you can use aggregate report listener and use "Errors" checkbox to get the count of failure but this will include other failures also.
But, if you need to get the count at the run time to use it later then it is a different case. I am assuming that it is not the case.
Thanks,
I'm willing to use 2 variables for random values with the same request.
I defined both in User Parameters as follows: var1=${__Random(1,100)}; var2=${__Random(1000,2000)} (Also I checked: Update once per iteration)
I have the requests:
Request1: GET user/${var1}
Request2: GET user/${var2}
During run-time, when it gets to request2 var2 equals var1!
How do I fix that?
Well, User Parameters is a PreProcessor so you should put it as a child of your HTTP Request in order to get correct behavior. You can use Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination to validate variables values (see How to Debug your Apache JMeter Script article for more details)
I would recommend discarding this User Parameters and injecting the __Random() function directly into your HTTP Request sampler Path like
/user/${__Random(1,100,var1)}
/user/${__Random(1000,2000,var2)}
This is a simpler way to generate random numbers and get them stored into JMeter Variables.
I am new to jmeter and am working on putting together a test plan. The hurdle I've encountered is as follows:
First, a POST is made to processForm.aspx
Then, the user is redirected to pleaseWait.aspx
This page either redirects immediately to results.aspx OR loads, with a META REFRESH tag set to refresh in 5 seconds (and this step is repeated).
Now -- I can get this to execute by doing the following:
HTTP Sampler POST to processForm.aspx
Assert Response contains "<something on pleaseWait.aspx>"
While LAST
HTTP Sampler GET to pleaseWait.aspx
Assert Response contains "<something on results.aspx>"
However -- I don't care for this method, because it results in failed assertions (even though things are working as expected). I am sure there must be some other way to do this? Anyone more familiar with JMeter than I?
UPDATE:
Got it going by using Regular Expression Extractor instead of Assertions.
1) Add a User Defined Variables section at Test Plan Root
2) Add a variable to it "LoginWait" and "false"
HTTP Sampler POST to processForm.aspx
RegEx Extract Response Body contains "<something on pleaseWait.aspx>" into LoginWait
While ${LoginWait}
HTTP Sampler GET to pleaseWait.aspx
RegEx Extract Response Body contains "<something on pleaseWait.aspx>" into LoginWait
...
You could try using "follow redirects" on your HTTP Request. It would eliminate the logic you need, and still get you to the page you're going.
