Writing user variables to a file
Hi JMeter folks,
Is there a straightforward way to have JMeter write the contents
of a user variable to a results file (e.g., the one produced by the
Simple Data Writer Listener)? I'd like to parse out a field or two
using, e.g., a Regular Expression Extractor, and write those to a file
for later use.
Thanks for your help.
Scott

In that case, either variable is misspelt, or there is some other
error - check jmeter.log.

I am using the csv data set in the sampler not in the request default.
The sampler is not picking up the variable.

CSV DataSet does not read from the file until after Config elements
such as the HTTP Request default test element, so the variable is not
available until too late.
CSV Dataset is intended for samplers that need lots of variable data.
Best to use properties instead, and refer to them with the __P()
function on the HTTP RD element.
Properties can be defined on the command-line, in jmeter.properties or
in user.properties.

CSV DataSet does not read from the file until after Config elements
such as the HTTP Request default test element, so the variable is not
available until too late.
CSV Dataset is intended for samplers that need lots of variable data.
Best to use properties instead, and refer to them with the __P()
function on the HTTP RD element.
Properties can be defined on the command-line, in jmeter.properties or
in user.properties.

I am assuming that the difference between the variable names (terms) and
the $(term) is a typo. If not, then you need to fix this.
Is the csv configuration element within the loop containing the
reference?

I have used this function in the past. Going back the scripts that were
working, currently are not.
I am working from the GUI.
I set up the CSV Data set config:
Filename = abc.csv
Variable names = terms
Delimiter = ,
EOF = true
In the http sampler I have the parameter set q = ${term}
I have the file abc.csv in the jmeter bin directory. ABC is a dummy
file, I made in excel: A on one line, B on the second, and so forth.
Saved in csv format.
When I run the script the request is GET
http://www.google.com/search?q=${terms}, and it doesn't seem to be
reading the file.
I downloaded Jmeter again, and got the same result.
Any suggestions?

Re: Writing user variables to a file
Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
You can include a variable in a sampler field (e.g. the title) and
then it will appear in the results file.
Or you can use __log() or __logn() to write to jmeter.log.
This has been requested before, but is not implemented.
