Iterate over files

[Morten Kristiansen <mo...@tracetracker.com>]

Hi,

I want to create a JMeter test that executes a HTTP Request POST with a file
attached to it. So far so good (I know how to do that). But my files are in
a directory and I don't know the filenames or how many files. So what I need
is to  prior to the HTTP Request, look into a given directory and get a list
of all files in that directory. Then I want to loop over these files and
execute a HTTP Request for each of them.

I have googled for 2 hours and can't find a single example on how to acheive
this. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Morten

Use the standard *BeanShell* commands: cat(); *cd*(); cp(); mv(); rm(); *dir
*();; You can call external commands as exec("command");

Not possible without writing some code.

I'd suggest looking at the CSV Dataset config element

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#CSV_Data_Set_Config

which can read a file of text and store it in variables.

All you need to do is use a directory listing program to create the
file of names, then run JMeter.
