Uploading random files
Hey
Since my Cookie issue got helpful responses that helped me resolve the
issue, and some future ones. I decided to post here again. (Gotten far
since last time!). I am only missing one more thing for me to be happy with
the load testing. I need a way to upload a random file every time the
Upload POST reques is run. I tried cheating by simply changing the
"filename" value in the post, sadly this was a no go. I figured this was a
comming issue and started googling around. I stumbled upon a thread that
seems to do what I want to:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8046447/testing-load-document-functionality-with-jmeter/8048644#8048644
I
am new to JMeter i have little experience with JMeter and struggling to
make sense out of javascript in the example. I understand the Java in the
BeanShell. I can't find where the path for the folder location is defined.
Is that sent in from JMeter? I also receive an error saying that the
"C:\Program Files
(x86)\apache-jmeter-2.7\bin\bsh\generate-content-list.bsh" could be located.
This is obviously something big to dive into at once with only a couple of
hours of JMeter experience. Does anyone have a simpler approach or a
"guide" with more detail explenations? I would greatly appreciate it, I
want to learn it as well. Not just copy paste and tinker like i am doing
now (well that is a way of learning)
Cheers
Dean

I still receive an EOF issue, am I doing something wrong with the source
file? I assume since I get an EOF it can't read the 1.docx,2.docx located
in the FileUpload.csv?
Thanks for the help so far man, and fast replies as well ;O

Re: Uploading random files
Posted by Dean Lozo <de...@gmail.com>.
I tried your suggestion and I can't seem to get it to work. I assume I am
doing something wrong somewhere. The current setup looks like this:
http://i.imgur.com/kz9zR.png
The error that it returns to me is C:\Test Data\<EOF> (The filename,
directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
If I don't use double backslash (which I believe is wrong due to the $) in
filepath it returns: C:\Test Data\${DATA} (The system cannot find the file
specified)
Hope you can help

It should work. What exactly did not work?
Using CSV Data Set Config with HTTP POST works fine for me.
I set up a CSV file with 2 columns: name and path-name
CSV DataSet
- recycle on EOF: false
- stop thread on EOF: true
- variable names: NAME, PATH
Then use ${PATH} in the File Path field and ${NAME} in the Parameter
Name field of the "Send Files with Request" section.
This works fine for me.

Seems to be using BeanShell to generate a list of files at run-time.
Much better to do this before starting the test - or if it does have
to be done at run-time, that's work for a setUp thread group.
But not necessary for your case, and seems to be unnecessarily
complicated, even without the BeanShell sampler.
