That is quite old. You should consider upgrading, though I don't think
there have been changes to XPath.

Not all file operations are logged.

Actually it stores the result of parsing the file and applying the
search function.

Yes. The cache is only cleared at the start of a run.
Though fixing that won't help here.

That's not possible currently. There is a shared cache which cannot be
cleared until the test completes.

Depends on why the XPATH function is being used.
If it is being used to provide test data, use CSV Dataset instead.
That is much more efficient.
If it is parsing sample response data, consider using a different
method of parsing the data.

Well, my thread will do the job and exists but the file is not getting closed/or freeing the memory. I have observed that file is not getting closed even after test finishes. From Jmeter JVM heap I can see that it's not freeing up after GC cycles.

Posted by Joseph Roy <Jo...@resmed.com.au>.
Thanks Seb for clarifying how it works and the limitations
I will try different method for parsing the data
