Adding script before loading configuration

[Jmeter Tea <jm...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Many times users expect to setup configuration elements before execution
(as below question)
I wonder if we can add a option to run a JSR223 script on load or before
executing a run to setup some variables/properties that can be used in
configuration elements

Thank you

Hi

Setup thread group doesn't work, for example, HTTP Header Manager with
variables can't be set with User Parameters in setup thread group (although
variables are set ok)

Setup thread group would not work for a user needing some init code for
recording.

I don't think that's quite true.

Beanshell allows the user to set up a server that can be used to
access the internals of JMeter at run-time.
It's not secure, so should only be used on a suitably protected
system, but it can be very useful at times, especially for very
long-running tests.

I don't think JSR223 allows that currently.
It may (or may not) be possible with other scripting languages.

Note that a startup script could be done by using a startup thread group.
Such groups did not exist when beanshell was first added, so that was
not an option then.

Try using a setup thread group.

Hello,
This exists currently with Beanshell and I agree this should be possible
with JSR223 as we advise to move out from Beanshell and it's the last place
where Beanshell is needed.
Property:

   - beanshell.init.file=


See JMeter#startOptionalServers

So if you propose a patch, I'll be happy to merge it.
Regards
