DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45267] New: Feature request - loading property
files from GUI
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45267
Summary: Feature request - loading property files from GUI
Product: JMeter
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Main
AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: krzysieq@gazeta.pl
Not sure this is the right place to report such issue, as it is not really a
bug, although in my project we tend to think of it this way...
It would be really nice, if it was possible to load a bunch of properties from
a file after the application is started. It is a real pain in the neck to
switch the app on and off just because we need to test another machine or
environment.
The way I would see this handled would be to add to the "User Defined
Variables" configuration element a possibility to feed it from a file, as well
as delete and sort the variables listed there.
The other possible solution is to be able to switch, also during runtime, the
file that is loaded as user.properties. But I imagine this would be more
difficult.

Changing to enhancement.
The property dispay:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Property_Display
can be used to change/add/delete properties.
Would this be sufficient?

I see what You mean now, but I don't think this solves our problem. I can
change the system or jmeter properties, but I cannot reload the additional
property file - even changing the value of the user.properties property doesn't
trigger the reload. If it would, this would be the best possible solution I
think of.
A little bit bigger picture:
What we have in our project is a property file per environment. Each of these
has exactly the same keys, they only differ by the values. So we use the
property names in all tests, and our automated testing campaigns supply the
tests with different property files. This is easy and efficient when done
commandline, but on the GUI we loose this, and what we're left with is an
amazing pain in the neck of having to restart the GUI with another property
file each time. Does this shed some light on the problem?

You can provide the initial property file on the GUI command line using the -q
flag.
What you cannot do is reload an entire property file after starting the GUI.
However, nor can one run more than 1 test file using JMeter in non-GUI mode, so
in that sense, the GUI is no different.
As a temporary work-round, you could use a beanshell function as the value of a
dummy variable on the Test plan. This will be executed at the start of the
test.
Something like:
DUMMY ${__BeanShell(loadProperties("file.props"))}
where the method loadProperties is defined in a beanshell function init file.
The example .bshrc file already shows how to set JMeter properties so you would
just need to load the new ones.
