Jmeter - use csv for setting http header - testing

I want to set header for each request.
header is -
"token:value"
For every request this header value will be different and I have a csv file having all tokens listed there. Now, like we use csv for POST data values, I want to use this csv file to set header for each request.
CSV file -
"token1,token2,token3"
How to do this in jmeter ?

To achieve your goal, you should do following for each request:
Add HTTP Header Manager:
2 . Add CSV Data Set Config configured like this:

the idea is pretty good, if the referer field is widely used.
I'm not sure that you can use CSV data sets, because it reads ONE line for each user/ thread.
In a situation similar to yours, I had to use a __CSVread function, that allows to manually control if and when to read the next line.
Refer to: "CSVRead">http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html#_CSVRead"

If request the same but header changes, then you obviously need CSV Data Set Config element. Example of usage you can find in %JMETER_HOME%/bin/examples. If requests are different then I'm not sure it makes sens to use CSV file.

How to accept any multipart file (image/pdf/csv) from postman and create the same file into SFTP location in Mule 4?

When I tried this usecase for some MIME types the content is coming in payload.parts[0].content, for some MIME types the content is coming in payload.parts.file.content. How to create the file in the same MIME type as how we received from postman in SFTP?
Quite not sure in what ways you have used and tested the both expression. Please find the screenshot below. I have added different format of datas in single request. If you use mutiple format in single request and wanting to extract individually. Use payload.parts[0].content and payload.parts[1].content
Note: This expression ideally mean whatever you add (form-data) in postman body request can be extract using index.
Example: if you have added content-type: application/xml in the below picture 3rd row, should be using payload.parts[2].content
If you're using single request payload.parts.file.content can be used.
Once after the request reached HTTP/HTTPS ( source listener), use dataweave as below to convert binary in to the defined structure data
%dw 2.0
output multipart/form-data
---
payload
After extracting the contents using the expressions, you can write in to SFTP (Screenshot) here I have stored in Vars (based on your logic)

Is it expected behavior that path is reset between requests in a single Scenario?

I'm trying to create a vanilla delete test, and our endpoints check Etags. The proper way to go about this IMHO is:
GET the object & read its etag header
Assign that header to the etag header in a follow up DELETE request
So I have something like this:
Feature: Delete with etag
Background:
* url config.url
* path 'path/to/entity/type'
Scenario: Retrieve Login page url
Given path entityId
When method get
* def etag = responseHeaders['Etag']
Given path entityId
And header Etag = etag
When method delete
Then status = 204
This seems like it should work, but what I'm seeing is that between the two requests the root path set in the Background is reset. Is this expected? It makes sense if the assumption is that if you are making multiple requests within a scenario, the subsequent requests could be to a different url, and resetting the path is necessary to avoid polluting it for the secondary host (since path is append-only).
As a follow-on, this is a pretty common scenario in my experience. Is there a better usage pattern to handle this kind of thing?
Simple, you just shape the "base URL" to match your REST "resource". url will not be re-set. path is.
* url config.url + '/path/to/entity/type'
And now this will work as you expect:
Given path entityId
The Hello World example shows this pattern if you look closely.

How to set content-type in Rest Client step

I'm using the Rest Client as below,
But every time I have the same error message
HTTP Error 400. The request has an invalid header name.
When I use the same config in postman client, (Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded) I've success message.
What I have to do ?
This might be somewhat reviving an old question, however:
In the headers tab on the Rest Client step the field column refers to a data field in your input stream to this step. The Name refers to the Name of the header. In the screenshot you've added you're trying to add a header called ${CONTENT_TYPE} with the value as contained in your stream field content-type.
Your first step appears to be a data grid. That grid needs to be supplying a field that you reference as your content-type header. If it can't come from that grid you need to inject a step (something like Add Constant) that will add the content-type header.
Hope it helps.

Passing multiple values between ThreadGroups - Jmeter

I have ThreadGroup1 which performs login operation where it is getting Credentials from CSV file using CSV Dataset Config and saves username and password in two different variables like:
${__setProperty(USERNAMEGlobal, ${USERNAME})}
${__setProperty(PASSWORDGlobal, ${PASSWORD})}
Now in ThreadGroup2 I use these credentials using:
${__property()}
it works fine for a single user, but if I try multiple users (requests) last value overrides the previous all values and ThreadGroup2 receives only the last credentials defined.
I want all the credentials to be passed one by one to ThreadGroup2 and then the requests present in ThreadGroup2 should work according to all those credentials respectively.
How this can be done?
PS: I defined ramp-up period=1, Number of Users=3, loop=1.
There are some options:
Inter-Thread Communication.
Put them to different properties:
${__setProperty(USERNAMEGlobal1, ${USERNAME1})}
${__setProperty(USERNAMEGlobal2, ${USERNAME2})}
etc.
Initialize array with all usernames, stringify it and then put to property. However, it looks like a hack that will slow your plan.
Looks like you can save all the username-password pairs into file csv-file in ThreadGroup1 and then re-use they in ThreadGroup2 via e.g. reading with CSV Data Set Config.
I'm wondering if you really need two separate ThreadGroups?
It seems like you need only one ThreadGroup inside which you should perform your login actions and then save user/pass parameters in vars, not in props. Vars are thread local, so values of one thread won't override values of another.
You can set variable within the script: vars.put("var_name", "var_value"), and then use it like ${var_name}. Another option to set variable.

multiple user logins in jmeter

I am using jmeter to test a php application. I need to create a different thread with a unique session for each user. Because in my application you can only have one login per user at a time so putting 100 times the same user I will not get to any conclusion.
I have created 40 users user0,user1....user39 with the same password is there a way to automatically create simultaneous threads for each of them?
Thanks
I just implemented this using jmeter for an app that uses Spring Security (It would be very similar to PHP). This is fairly straightforward, basically:
1) Create a new CSV file using a text editor
Ex: CSVSample_user.csv
username1, password1
username2, password2
2) In jmeter, create a CSV Data Set Config element
Thread Group>add>Config Element>CSV Data Set Config
=> Assign variable names (see image)
3) Create an HTTP Request element
Thread Group>add>Sampler>HTTP Request
=> Create a POST with parameters, have the variable you created
put the values for the parameter. (See bottom image).
NOTE: There are other elements you need, such as cookie manager, etc. Also number of threads needs to be set to the number of login users.
You can use a CSV Data Set Config. This control will allow you to use an external source of variables.
Add -> Config Element -> CSV Data Set Config
You must set the variable names, something like:
Variable Names (comma-delimited): USERNAME,PASSWORD
Then you can use the variables in your HTTP Requests parameters like:
${USERNAME} and ${PASSWORD}
I realize this question is over a year old, but I just came across the same issue and thought I'd add my solution for anyone else who stumbles upon this issue.
If you have a sequence of usernames and passwords that are simply differentiated by numbers at the end of their values, you can use the __threadNum variable to log them in. So for the value of username you might say user${__threadNum}.
This solution is simpler than including a csv but only works where you have a list such as the one you suggested in your question.
keep csv file and testplan (i.e jmx) in a same folder and recheck the variable name in CSV datasetconfig and http request for any typing error.
