Problem when looping through multiple CSV lists of URLs
Hi, folks. I'm pretty new at JMeter, so apologies if this is either a daft
question, or I'm approaching the whole idea from the wrong angle.
I have a list of about 1000 URLs in our product that I need to hit and
measure. They are from various areas of the product, so it doesn't make
sense to compare them all as a single set, so they have been split into 10
files of ~100 URLs each.
I would like (I think) a bunch of threads to start up, and hit all 1000
pages, but I want each "HTTP Request" to have it's own name to distinguish
between them.
I've tried using a While Controller, which works for the first list, but it
never runs any subsequent ones:
Test Plan
Thread Group
While Controller
CSV Data Set Config - data-a.csv
HTTP Request - "Data A"
While Controller
CSV Data Set Config - data-b.csv
HTTP Request - "Data B"
All the links in Data A are processed, and the results look good, but
nothing is ever run in Data B.
Thanks,
Mark

In which case why not randomise the file before starting the test?

Wow - your first suggestion didn't even cross my mind and would solve the
immediate problem - the CSV even has that data in it already...
For the second, I'm not entirely sure yet. I think what I'd actually like
to do is test those 1000 URLs randomly, not in the order they're in the
file, so the whole app is being hit all the time, multiple times.
I'll check the logs too.
Thanks

Keep a single file - put the name as part of file (so name,url) and use
${name} in your HTTP request name
>I've tried using a While Controller, which works for the first list, but

Probably you need to see jmeter.log - probably you have an infinte loop -
adding a debug sampler +view results tree helps to see what is happening.
However this is probably not what you want to do right? Do you want all
URLs of Data A to complete before you move onto Data B?
