I'm currently creating a test suite of API tests in JMETER.
I've created a "User Defined Variable" config element to help parameterize the tests. The value goes into the "Path" of the API request.
However.....
When I input
NAME: dev.testAppUrl
VALUE: https://devurl/api/applications/${ID}
the test returns an error because its treating ${ID} as a literal string in the URL path.
If the url is hardcoded in the test request it works fine to leave the ${ID} in there and that value is scraped from a previous request using a "regular expression extractor control" and populated as expected. But I would love to not hardcode these path values.
You should use eval function to get the ${ID} replaced at run time.
${__eval(${dev.testAppUrl})}

I Have a JSON response in string so I used JSR223 processor and extracted the required token, is there any way to make that variable as global variable for all the threads to use
COuldn't get any slutions or haven't got the right link to check
As per request I have added screenshot for more clarity in my question
enter image description here
I even tried using
$(_setProperty(text3,${token},)};
still no use
I have extracted a string from response and assigned to text3 and I want to make it as global variable in thread group so that It can be used all other next API's I tried using props.put() however it didn't worked
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(${search_input})}
JMeter automatically treats responses with status code below 400 as successful, if you need to add an extra layer of check for presence of the results or absence of {{noSearchResults.query}} - use Response Assertion
How to save JSON Input body parameter to a global variable in POSTMAN (Check image)
Click the Environment quick look (eye button) in the top right of Postman and click Edit next to Globals.
Add a variable named timestamp and give it an initial value, Save and close the environment modal.
Open a new request tab and enter https://postman-echo.com/get?var={{timestamp}} as the URL. Hover over the variable name and you'll see the value.
Send the request. In the response, you'll see that Postman sent the variable value to the API.
Note :No need for "$"
In order to get that value from the Request Body, you can add a simple script like this to the Tests tab:
let depositRef = JSON.parse(pm.request.body.raw).api_data.deposit_reference
pm.globals.set('depositRef', depositRef)
This is using pm.request.body.raw from the pm.* API to grab the value from the Request Body.
You need to add this to the Tests rather than the Pre-request Script, as that would set the Global variable but it wouldn't resolve the dynamic variable at that point and it would just store TX1{{$timestamp}}.
I'm trying to do some testing using JMeter but I'm facing an issue trying to do some complex stuff.
I have a login HTTP request test that comes back with a response which includes an auth_token. I need to add ":" at the end and encode it to base64 to use that value on the request of another test.
I've been reading that it can be done using BeanShell but I could not achieve it yet. I will appreciate if someone could give me some steps to perform this task.
I assume you know how to get this auth_token into a JMeter Variable via i.e. Regular Expression Extractor
If you're have JMeter Plugins installed - you can use __base64Encode() function like:
${__base64Encode(${auth_token},auth_token_encoded)}
If you don't have the plugins/cannot have/don't want to have - here is how to do it with Beanshell.
Add Beanshell PostProcessor somewhere after Regular Expression Extractor (or other PostProcessor you're using to fetch the auth_token value
Put the following code into the Beanshell PostProcessor "Script" area:
import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.util.Base64Encoder;
String auth_token = vars.get("auth_token");
String auth_token_encoded = Base64Encoder.encode(auth_token);
vars.put("auth_token_encoded", auth_token_encoded);
See How to Use BeanShell: JMeter's Favorite Built-in Component to get started with Beanshell scripting.
Both cases assume:
you have "auth_token" value stored in ${auth_token} JMeter Variable
you will be able to access the encoded value as ${auth_token_encoded}
I had a similar test case where I need to put a file as Base64 encoded String into the body of a HTTP Request.
Instead of a BeanShell I used the groovy script functionality¹:
{
"example": "${__groovy(new File('${SCRIPT_PATH}/test.file').bytes.encodeBase64())}"
}
If you already have a String this snippet would work similar:
{
"example": "${__groovy('string to encode'.bytes.encodeBase64())}"
}
Or this is the usage with a user defined variable:
{
"example": "${__groovy('${STRING_VARIABLE}'.bytes.encodeBase64())}"
}
¹ ${SCRIPT_PATH} is a user defined variable pointing – in my case – to the folder of the loaded jmx-file: ${__BeanShell(org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}${__BeanShell(File.separator,)}
I am hitting an http url and need url contents into property in jmeter.
I have done the fetching part from url,but unable to store the value in properties using the jmeter.
For e.g.
Request is like
http://url/user=admin,password=admin
I need property in jmeters
property1(user)=admin
property(password)=admin
Given you have already extracted what you need it might be easier to use __setProperty() function like:
${__setProperty(foo,bar,)}
creates "foo" property with the value of "bar"
If you still want to go the "Beanshell" way, you can use props shorthand which provides read-write access to JMeter Properties (in fact it's instance of java.util.Properties) for properties manipulation.
The Beanshell script:
props.put("foo", "bar");
will create a property "foo" having value of "bar".
Returning to your use case, if your URL looks like http://example.com/?user=admin&password=admin use the following Beanshell code:
Map parameters = ctx.getCurrentSampler().getArguments().getArgumentsAsMap();
String user = parameters.get("user");
String password = parameters.get("password");
props.put("user", user);
props.put("password", password);
should do what you need. See How to Use BeanShell: JMeter's Favorite Built-in Component guide for more information on Beanshell scripting in JMeter.
