_BeanShell

[amelaao <am...@gmail.com>]

I want to get the value of current directory into a variable and use it to
create a new path. I'm using BeanShell for this, having my user parameter
workingDir defined as ${__BeanShell(pwd(),)}, thinking that I can use it
later as ${workingDir}. My first test was just to display ${workingDir}
using JavaRequest Sampler before even going further. I downloaded
bshXX.jarin jmeter/lib. However my JavaRequest doesn't print anything
in its
Listener, except for  text "JavaRequest" which is usually not a good sign.

Any ideas?

Yes, because JMeter currently starts in the bin directory.

[Probably user.dir should not be set in jmeter.properties ...]

I've updated the JMeter Windows scripts (.bat and .cmd) in the current
2.1 branch to allow JMeter to be run from anywhere, not just the bin
directory.
[Sorry, this does not yet apply to the jmeter server script]

If you drop a jmx file on jmeter-n.cmd, it will now change the default
directory to the same as that containing the JMX file.

So if you always put the data files in the same place relative to the
JMX files, there should be no need to know the current directory.

Or is there something else you need the current location for?

You could always create your own script file to create a property containg %CD%
[I assume you are running Win2K, not Win9x or ME]

Well, it didn't do what I wanted it to. If I comment out user.dir in
properties file, then user.dir is "C:\Program Files\jakarta-jmeter-2.1.1\bin".
It worked for me before because user.,dir was set to the directory where my
test scripts are, but in production we are not going to have this property
set on our servers, because we are going to have many directories
with different scripts. These scripts are executed from Ant, but also
manually on tester's local machines. If it was run only from Ant I could
have this easily taken care of, but since the same script testers will
download and execute on their machines I have to figure out different way of
solving this. I probably need to rephrase the question - I need the
directory of the current test script that is being run.

user.dir is set during startup on each host

Try it and see.

Re: _BeanShell

[amelaao <am...@gmail.com>]

I realized property user.dir is a solution for my local machine. However I
can't have this dependency since our scripts are deployed on different
machines and used for different releases, plus I don't have the control of
jmeter.properties file.So my solution needs to read the current directory
and then use it to calculate the path to some other file. It may be a bit
confusing, but the bottom line is that I have to use a different way of
finding current directory.

Thanks,
Amela

Because pwd() _prints_ the current directory - it returns nothing -
output goes to standard output, i.e. the console window.

Sebb,
Thanks. ${__P(user.dir)} did do the trick without changing anything else.
Why do you think _BeanShell didn't work. There were no errors in the log
file, amd at the same place in the Listener after JaveRequest Sampler, where
it now prints the current dir, there was "JavaRequest".

Which Listener?
Where did you put ${workingDir} in the JavaRequest Sampler?

Have you checked in jmeter.log for any error messages?
