wiki page - parameterize tests
i'm fairly new to JMeter.
on the wiki, http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JMeterFAQ,
under /How do I parameterize my JMeter test cases?, /item 2 says to
"Click the Add button to add the following user defined variables to the
Test Plan node:". i think that should read:
"Click the Add button to add a Pre Processor > User Parameter to the
Test Plan node. Click Add Variable to add the folowing variables/values
to the User Parameter list.
i'm also extremely interested in the section that follows, the dynamic
parameters. unfortunately, being a java junkie, i don't have much
experience with perl regular expressions. is there perhaps a collection
of usage of these regular expressions with JMeter? one thing that i can
think of is, say you have a hidden input form element that contains a
value that you need to grab:
<input type="hidden" name="HiddenVarYouCantSee" value="IChangePerRequest" />
<input type="hidden" name="SecondHidden" value="IChangePerRequest" />
<input type="hidden" name="ThirdHidden" value="IChangePerRequest" />
how would i grab the value(s) here? yes, there's other hidden variables
on the form that i don't care about. i only know the name of the ones
that i do care about.
thanks!

n/m a little searching on the mail archives turned up the answer.
something along the lines of:
<input type="hidden" name="SecondHidden" value="(\w*)" />
will give it back, though i've only tried out the number example someone
else posted a while back for hidden variables. these take a little bit
of work to get down.

I'll definately take a look at these and perhaps see about using the wiki.
In the Component reference, the Http Request section, maybe some more
could be added to the mime type. I had a form which was multipart and
the parameters weren't coming through b/c i didn't set the recording
(actually, i used the proxy to originally grab the page, and _it_ didn't
pick up that the form enctype was multipart/form-data. Though even if
it were in the doc, i probably would have missed it.
Using the proxy to grab all your form data and requests, etc is VERY
nice to save some work, but you still have to realize that you have to
tweak the tests a bit.

Send this value with your request (and so on...)
${__regexFunction(<input type="hidden" name="HiddenVarYouCantSee"
value="(.*)" />,$1$,1,,,)}
I'd suggest you read through the whole user manual
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/index.html
before using JMeter.
Glance over the stuff you think you aren't interested in.
Some of the info you want is not necessarily were you would first look.
I found chapter 13
<http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html>,
"Component Reference", the most useful, although at first glance you
would think it is a reference to look up one at a time later.
see
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#__regexFunction
to figure out the regex voodoo above.
