Recorded scripts are unable to perform login operation while playing
in Jmeter.
Hi,
I've recorded some scenarios including "Login" to my application scenario
from Jmeter, but while playing the recorded scripts from Jmeter i am
seeing that the user hasn't logged in and is still present at the landing
page only. I have used a 'Tree Listener' and navigated to the request and
opened the "Response Data" tab, seeing the HTML response of the request
sent and received by JMeter. I've used only one user/thread for my
execution.
Any idea why it's showing like this in the HTML response of "Response Data"
tab in the 'Tree Listener' listener. Do i need to tweak any change or
something.
Earliest reply is deeply appreciable.
Regards,
Vikash

Hi

If you mean 2.9 then you should move to later versions
>1) How and where can i check the session id in the recorded scripts,
Depends - Usually it is a cookie , in which case JMeter will not record it
in the script . If your application uses url rewriting then it will be
present in the URL

Yers - Java based applications usually use JSESSIONID

JMeter shows whatever the application has returned

Only someone with knowledge of your application can say. Its possible your
script is not doing things exactly how the browser is or its possible your
application has a bug.

Hi
You can record and replay a script and expect it to work only if your
application doesn't use anything dynamic - i.e. a parameter that can
potentially change values with time . This might take on a variety of
things like
a, Security Form tokens (for e.g to prevent request forgeries)
b. timestamps
c. Encrypted values that are used for Single sign on
d. Session ids if your application is using url rewriting
etc.
An easy way to identify this is record the same script twice and check for
differences - Parameters that are changing values are dynamic
(Alternately understand how your application works from a dev)
Once you identify the parameters , then you have to use a Post processor to
extract values from the response that has these dynamic values into a
variable and then use ${variableName}. The only exception to that is
session id which can *usually* be handled by a cookie manager (assuming
your application supports it) . In rare cases , it is some javascript
executing on your page that is creating the dynamic values - in which case
you have to simulate the same in JMeter.
And you have to use assertions to know if your script is working as
expected or not.

deepak

Hi Vikash,
When you have recorded, you would have recorded with a session id.
If you see the script in editplus or see the requests from jmeter only, you can see this session id hard coded somewhere.
Next time when you run the script it wouldn't login as this session is expired.
Here are the steps to resolve.
Record your script
Add a cookie manager to your script
Run the script and see results in tree listener to see if login is happening or not.
This is possible in jmeter 11 onwards.
If you are using jmeter 9 or below, then use a user defined variable to save the session id and replace in your script across all places the hard coded session id witb this user defined variable before you run the script each time.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards,
Kavya Srinivasan

Hi,

Any idea why it's showing like this in the HTML response of "Response Data"
