Please me here as we are newbie to JMeter.
We are performing a Load Test on a module called Reports.
The recorded script (URL) changes during run-time. Following is the example.
Original recorded script (URL):
https://dev.test.com/reportserver/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2FArrowAddOnReport%2FClientsPending&AgencyName=ArrowSeed
URL generated during run-time:
https://dev.test.com/reportserver/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2FArrowAddOnReport%2FClientsPending=&AgencyName=ArrowSeed
If you can see, "=" is added in the URL (highlighted).
Please let us know the reason and resolution to handle the same.
Thanks in advance
I have no idea why it happens, you should talk to DevOPS or whoever is responsible.
Personally I wouldn't use "Path" section to store request parameters, there is a "Parameters" section in the HTTP Request where you can specify required parameters and whether to encode them or not.
If you're completely stuck with an extra = sign I can suggest a workaround.
Add a Beanshell Pre Processor as a child of the problematic HTTP Request
Put following code into Beanshell Pre Processor "Script" area:
String path = sampler.getPath();
sampler.setPath(path.replace("=&","&"));

We have a URL https://www.mylink.com/est?myId=4d22b9d0-4ff2-46c3-9343-945304dfea93
The above request also contains post data:
myId=4d22b9d0-4ff2-46c3-9343-945304dfea93
How can I parameterize this as the url and post data both contain same value but its dynamic. Also, how may I store it in a variable to use it somewhere else as well?
In order to be able to use it in URL and request body you need to extract it somewhere somehow, this dynamic ID is probably associated with this or that user account so my expectation is that after logging in you should see this ID somewhere in the response.
The process is known as correlation and there is a plenty of information over the web about handling dynamic requests in JMeter. There are also solutions which provide semi or fully automated correlation of the dynamic parameters like Correlations Recorder Plugin for JMeter or JMeter Proxy Recorder
If you just need to generate an unique GUID-like structure - you can do it using __UUID() function
I'm working on a test plan with Jmeter.
The issue is that I can't retrieve the URL link as he is managed dynamically.
The URL has the following format:
localhost\blablabla?PATHPARAM=qzflh%2FGJHBGDCV%GROPJHVFFFDDFGGCFD%JJYTGVFRTVFGGFF%JUYGBG
I already try to search the value of PATHPARAM in the previous requests to retrieve it using regular expression extractor but I didn't find it.
It seems that this url is generated inside a javascript code but the way to extract it is unknown for me, inside the js code I find the value : var url = actionName + "?" + params ;
Is that any way to catch the content or the var url in Jmeter, else have you any other solution to solve this issue with this dynamic URL.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
I can see 2 possible options:
If you are being redirected to this URL automatically (you might need to play with Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects boxes in the HTTP Request sampler
If this is the case - you should be able to get it using the following Regular Expression Extractor configuration
If you need to replicate the logic of this param variable calculation - you can attempt to do it using JSR223 PreProcessor which can execute arbitrary JavaScript code
Let's say I want to create a slash command with the flexibility to define the component as tag name which will be used for deployment.
eg: /dev-deploy comments v1.0.0
I have added the slash command as well as set the parameterized URL in
http://host/buildByToken/buildWithParameters?job=dev-deployment&token=test
All the other commands data is present in JSON object how can I access that data and pass it as a parameter to shell script which is executed when the build is triggered.
The slash command from Slack is sending a POST request to your URL. This request contains a property named text, which in your example would be "comments v1.0.0". To extract the tag you would need to parse it.
I would recommend to use some simple script (e.g. PHP) to receive the POST request, parse it (maybe also do some security checks) and then start the job with a shell command.
I am not sure what JSON object you are referring to. The slash command does not send any JSON. So maybe your question is missing some vital information? If so please add.
Here is an example of the POST request (from the official Slack documentation):
token=gIkuvaNzQIHg97ATvDxqgjtO
team_id=T0001
team_domain=example
enterprise_id=E0001
enterprise_name=Globular%20Construct%20Inc
channel_id=C2147483705
channel_name=test
user_id=U2147483697
user_name=Steve
command=/weather
text=94070
response_url=https://hooks.slack.com/commands/1234/5678
I would like to know the Application of Pre-Processor and Post-Processor in JMeter.
As name suggests these components are used to process something (request, response, custom operations) before and after the sampler (request).
Pre processors :
These components are used before the request to perform custom actions.
Ex:
Suppose If I want to add something to request before sending it to server then preprocessor is added. For example if could be fetching some information from DB or Regex operations. Thus after performing those operation we can pass results of these actions to request. Thus we can modify/update request or request parameters before sending request to server.
Post processors :
These components are used after the response of request has arrived to perform custom actions.
Ex:
Suppose If I have asked for something on google and I want to find out something from response for below actions,
To validate response
Extract something and process to pass data to next request
Perform custom actions like DB operations, file operations etc.
Then post processors can be used.
See above snapshot,
Components pointed by arrow will be executed before request is sent to server and components within square will be executed after response has arrived.
I hope this was helpful.
Pre Processors are designed to provide any setup actions required for the test sample like generate some unique test data or amend parent sampler dynamically
Post-Processors are designed to tear down the sampler, or most commonly to extract "interesting" bits from response for later re-use (this is called "correlation")
Pre and Post Processors execution time isn't included into test reports. If you want to change this behavior you need to use Transaction Controller
May be a dumb question, but it's been bugging me recently. I see "URL=" inside alot of URL's, such as this one:
http://www.tierraantigua.com/search-2?url=http%3A%2F%2Flink.flexmls.com%2Fwws30ham
What exactly is this used to do? Is it part of the iFrame functionality? I know the last part of the URL (after the URL=) is the part being displayed in the iFrame, but I'm unsure of why it is included in the primary URL as well.
Thanks!
The url you see here is just a standard query parameter wit the name url and the encoded value http%3A%2F%2Flink.flexmls.com%2Fwws30ham which decodes to http://link.flexmls.com/Fwws30ham. Most of the times it is used for determining redirection or source information by the application you are using. It is entirely domain-specific and can have any meaning the website developer would like to use.
PHP GET
Description ΒΆ
An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the URL parameters.
$url = $_GET['url'];
echo $url; // http%3A%2F%2Flink.flexmls.com%2Fwws30ham
