I am testing RESTapi with (json format) using (HTTP Request sampler) in jmeter. I am facing problems with the PUT calls for update operation.
The PUT call with parameters don't work at all using (HTTP Request sampler), so now i am using the post body to pass the Json.
How can i pass the extracted values from the previous response to next PUT request in thread group? Passing the 'Regex veritable' to PUT call in Post body don't work, it doesn't take ${value} in Post body.
How do i carry out UPDATE operations using (HTTP Request sampler) in Jmeter?
Check that your regexp extractor really worked using a debug sampler to show extracted value.
Check your regexp extractor is scoped correctly.
See this configuration:

Please help me find a method in the request object that could retrieve the query string parameters in the payload section or any other way to intercept and Replace a browser get request's query string parameters.

Here, I used the same reg-ex as I used in the Reg Ex Extractor, and it finds the desired string.

Still says Bearer ${token}
As per JMeter Documentation Variables are local to a thread hence you cannot refer the variables which are set in one Thread Group in another Thread Group.
You either need to convert the variable into a JMeter Property using __setProperty() function in 1st thread group and load it using __P() function in 2nd thread group or go for Inter-Thread Communication Plugin
Also be informed that JSON is not a regular language hence using regular expressions is not the best choice for extracting the token from the response
I am performing a search request in jmeter. So my test plan flow is home then login then product catalogue and then search. I tried to make a post request for search but it failing all the time. I used a CSV file so each time the query is changed. But then I used a get request and used the query variable in the search path like this search?query=${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'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 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.
