JMeter variable in GET request failing - apache

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

get request for search in JMeter

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

HTTP status code response when there is not matched data with DB

I am building an API about email auth code.
Its process is simple.
input random code (client browser)
request with input code. (client browser)
receive the request (server)
scan the code from DB (server)
there is no code matched (server)
return a response with status code.
There are many status code, (2xx, 4xx, 5xx);
but I don't know which status code number is the most proper for this case.
It depends on the semantics you want to give your request. E.g.:
The API should search for items matching the query and return a list of results, like GET /codes?q=4ba69g. Think a "search page". In this case, an empty result [] is a perfectly valid result; nothing was wrong with the query, it just didn't return any matches. That's a 200 OK, or maybe a 204 No Content if you want to omit the empty response body entirely.
The code is treated like a resource, e.g. GET /codes/4ba69g. In this case a missing code would result in a 404 Not Found.
It's an action you want to perform which may fail, e.g. POST /login. If the user supplied the wrong credentials/code and hence the action cannot complete, that's a client-side error and therefore a 400 Bad Request.

Counting the number of response codes in JMeter 4.0

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,

Extract report results with CloudConnect

I would like to extract raw report results within the CloudConnect process.
So far I have managed to get response from the raw report API end point - https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/app/projects/{project_id}/execute/raw/
This response contains URI to the file and if I put that URI to browser, file is uploaded.
I have tried passing this URI to the following readers without success:
CSV Reader produces the following error:
------------------- Error details ------------------
Component [CSV Reader:CSV_READER] finished with status ERROR.
Parsing error: Unexpected end of file in record 1, field 1 ("date"),
metadata "outOfStock";
value: Raw record data is not available, please turn on verbose mode.
File Download - I don't know how to pass the URI through the port to "URL to Downlaod" parameter.
HTTP Connector again I don't see how to pass URI from the port.
What is the way to do this?
EDIT
If I use the HTTP Connector as suggested by #Filip, I get the following error:
Error details:
Component [HTTP connector:HTTP_CONNECTOR] finished with status ERROR. hostname in
certificate didn't match: xxx.com != secure.gooddata.com OR secure.gooddata.com
I have tried setting header to X-GDC-CHECK-DOMAIN: false with no effect.
The HTTP connector is the right component to go with. Leave the URL property empty and use the component’s property called “Input mapping”, where in the graphic editor you can assign the input edge field to the URL field.
Solution from GoodData support:
HTTP connector can be also used, but it is very complex, because
logging in to GoodData has to be created. REST connector has it built
in.
If you want to run the example graph, you have to be logged in in
CloudConnect with a user who has access to the project from where you
would like to export the report. You also have to change URL to
the one of white-labeled account in both REST connector components and change project
and report definition in the first REST connector.
So the graph that works looks like this:
Here are the main fields that you will need to set for each element:
Get Results URI - set params for POST request:
Request URL = https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/app/projects/${GDC_PROJECT_ID}/execute/raw/
Request Body =
{
"report_req": {
"reportDefinition": "gdc/md/${GDC_PROJECT_ID}/obj/${OBJECT_ID}"
}
}
Get URI from Response - just map uri value to corresponding field:
<Mapping cloverField="uri" xpath="uri"/>
Load Results - make sure it is connected to metadata with two fields, one for response with data, other to pass through the uri.
Load Results - you will need to exclude uri field to process the data:
Exclude Fields = uri

jmeter help - test around polling /w meta refresh

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.
