Best Practice? I want to run different CsvDataSets depending on what
environment I'm going to, is using ant file substitution ok?
I'm new to jmeter, but looked over the faq and wiki and dind't see
anything on this...
Currently each of my tests has a CSV DataSet associated with it. (I'm
doing this by setting up a ThreadGroup then my Sample test underneath
and then my CSV DataSet added to the test, hopefully that's the right
way to do it.)
What I want though is a way to use a different csv dataset file based
on whether I'm stress testing against dev, qa, prod, etc.
I was thinking of accomplishing this by giving my file name something
like @ENV@_myDataSet.txt and then during the build for that
environment using ant, I just use file substitution to substitute the
correct ENV var. Is this a decent approach or is there a preferred
best practice?
Thanks

This is working wonderfully, much better than the ant approach.

Nice! I like that idea.
(The ant idea would work also and allow you to run from the gui..
albeit it would be a bit awkward since you'd have to modify the gui
test file (form the gui) which would have odd paths in it like
@ENV@_myDataSet.txt and then save it... THEN run ant which would
actually make for you a copy of the test script with the correct
substitutions and that copy is what you'd actually have to then start
up and run. Too many steps, I like the approach you mention much
better! Thanks.)

if you can use ant sure. However note that your test wont work from gui or
without this pre step
You might consider passing the environment as a Jmeter property in which
case you can specify a default.
${__property(run.env,,dev)}_myDataSet.txt
