I have following test suite structures in my mind:
Test Suite 01, has one test case (TC01) in side.
Test Suite 02, has one test case (TC02) in side.
Variable file available and imported both Test suite as resource.
Variable file has one List #{List}, with several values
In TC01, I output the content of #{List}
In TC02, I first Remove ${List} index 0, and set it as a new variable with same name: Remove From List ${List} 0, and then ${List}= Set Variable ${List}, Set Global Variable ${List}
Then out put new ${List}
--> Everything works out correctly till then:
After TC02 finished, I made RF perform TC01 again, and this time I think it should use new ${List} value, but it's not. Because Variable File has higher priority.
How can I made TC01 use new global variable ${List} later in second time?
Is that possible?
Thank you very much in advance.
Well, finally I solve this problem.
Before reboot save the needed variable and value into sqlite db, and fetch them after reboot.
What you are probably looking for is 'Set Suite variable'
See: http://robotframework.googlecode.com/svn/tags/robotframework-2.1/doc/libraries/BuiltIn.html#Set Suite Variable
or even 'Set Global variable'.

This is my test plan where the first CVS data set configure is like
And the Second CSV data Set configure is like
I want to read a file that contains all the file names and go inside each file and read each line and form a http request and hit the server.
I don't want to use loop controller because i need concurrency in terms of requests in a single file.
Say the file1.csv contains 10 lines which is equals to 10 http calls and i have 5 threads then the threads have to handle the 10 calls concurrently
You cannot. CSV Data Set Config is a Configuration Element, as per documentation:
Configuration elements can be used to set up defaults and variables for later use by samplers. Note that these elements are processed at the start of the scope in which they are found, i.e. before any samplers in the same scope.
JMeter test elements execution order looks as follows:
0. Configuration elements
1. Pre-Processors
2. Timers
3. Sampler
4. Post-Processors (unless SampleResult is null)
5. Assertions (unless SampleResult is null)
6. Listeners (unless SampleResult is null)
So your ${file} variable will be null unless a Sampler is executed and 2nd CSV Data Set Config will be initialized before any sampler execution.
If you want to read data from files dynamically consider using __StringFromFile() or __CSVRead() functions instead.
Functions are being evaluated at the time they're being called so basically you can put a function anywhere in your script. Check out How to Pick Different CSV Files at JMeter Runtime article for more details if needed.
I have a build that uses EnvInject Plugin to set an environmental value.
A different job needs to scan last good Jenkins build of that job and get the value of that environmental variable.
This all works well, except sometimes the variable will disappear from build history. It seems that after some time passes, when I look at the 'Environment variables' section in build history, the injected value simply disappears.
How can I make this persist? Is this a bug, or part of the design?
If it make any difference, the value of the injected variable is +1500 chars and in the following format: 'component1=1.1.2;component2=1.1.3,component3=4.1.2,component4=1.1.1,component4=1.3.2,component4=1.1.4'
Looks like EnvInject and/or JobDSL have a bug.
Steps to reproduce:
Set up a job that runs this JobDSL:
job('run_deploy_mock') {
steps {
environmentVariables {
env('deployedArtifacts', 'component1=1.0.0.2')
}
}
}
Run it and it will create a job called 'deploy_mock'
Run the 'deploy_mock' job. After build #1 is done, go to build details and check 'Environmental Variables' section for an entry called 'component1'
Run the JobDSL job again
Check 'Environmental Variables' section for 'deploy_mock' build #1. The 'component1' variable is now missing.
If I substitute the '=' for something else, it works as expected.

I have alot of Bamboo variables defined due the fact that i have a system with alot of legacy and config at places where it does not belong. Getting rid of all this will take a bit longer on the roadmap so i need to find a way to auto replace all these values.
The number im talking about is that there are 8 customer config files with each about 100 variables. Indeed, there was a maniac who added all of those in Bamboo because as you might thought most of them are variable for each environment.
At this moment i want to automate the deployment process and all is going fine exact the fact that i need to replace 100 variables and i dont want to maintain it in my script itself all the time.
I am looking for a way to retrieve all the variables in an array so i can just iterate through all the keys and try to replace them at the config files.
echo "${bamboo.application.myvalue}" will replace the value as expected. The only problem is, how can i get all the keys under bamboo.*
I tried it with the following functions but all without success:
printenv
env
declare
All above without success. How can i retrieve a list of all those variables as inline script in Bamboo.
Thanks alot
I think it is not possible to change the value of the variables on the fly. Instead, you can use the "Inject Bamboo variables" task in order to be able to change the variable value.
This task reads a file to create the variables. So, all you have to do is to create this file with the values you need, and then use this variables.
E.g.: Creating a file from a powershell script:
$path = 'bambooVariaveis.properties'
$connectionstringX = 'connectionstring="Data Source=XXXX;"'
$Utf8NoBomEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding($False)
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines($path, $connectionstringX, $Utf8NoBomEncoding)
E.g: Inject Bamboo Variables config
Using it (in a subsequent script task):
echo ${bamboo.inject.connectionstring}
I'm very new at JMeter issues.
In a test script i have a BeanShell PreProcessor element that updates some variables previously defined at a "User Defined Variables" element.
Latter those variables are used in "Http Requests". However, the value that is used in the http request is the default one.
The scripts seems to be working due to some debug print();
My question is if it's necessary to delay the script to be sure that the BeanShell finishes?
Thanks a lot for your attention
There is no need to put any delay to Beanshell Pre-Processor as it's being executed before request. I'd recommend to check your jmeter.log file to see if there are any scripting issues as Beanshell Pre-Processor does not report errors anywhere including View Results Tree listener.
There are at least 2 ways to assure that everything is fine with your Beanshell script:
Put your debug print code after variables replace logic to see if it fires
Use JMeter __Beahshell function right in your HTTP request. If it's ok - View Results Tree will demonstrate beanshell-generated value. If not - the field will be blank and relevant error will be displayed in the log.
Example test case:
Given following Test Plan structure:
Thread Group with 1 user and 1 loop
HTTP GET Request to google.com with path of / and parameter q
If you provide as parameter "q" following beanshell function:
${__BeanShell(System.currentTimeMillis())}
and look into View Results Tree "Request" tab you should see something like:
GET http://www.google.com/?q=1385206045832
and if you change function to something incorrect like:
${__BeanShell(Something.incorrect())}
you'll see a blank request.
The correct way of changing existing variable (or creating new if variable doesn't exist) looks like
vars.put("variablename", "variablevalue");
*Important: * JMeter Variables are Java Strings, if you're trying to set something else (date, integer, whatever) to JMeter Variable you need to cast it to String somehow.
Example:
int i = 5;
vars.put("int_i", String.valueOf(i));
Hope this helps.
You can update the vale of a "user defined variable".
You have to create a bean shell sampler
vars.put("user_defined_variable", "newvalue");
#theINtoy got it right.

I'm new to jmeter too but as I know variables defined in "User defined variables" are constants, so you can't change them. I recommend to use "User Parameters" in preprocessors or CSV Data Set Config.
I want to set a variable $import_location so that I can set it once for many uses and not hard-code it into each test case that is doing file uploads.
I have the variable set OK with the store command.
I am trying to use it on the uploads screen but keep getting the literal ${variable name}
How can I set the import location to be the variable that I've set above?
I just hadn't run the actual 'variable setting' script. One I had run it and created the variable I was able to use it OK.
