In Jmeter, What would be syntax of parameters in Body Data section of HTTP Request Sampler, if I am using Rest APIs and taking input from CSV files?
If your CSV file looks like:
9998885551,john25,[email protected],ricky25,9820420420
9998885552,john26,[email protected],ricky26,9820420421
....
Configuration should be the following:
- Filename: full path to your source .csv file
- Variable Names:
phone,lastname,email,firstname,mobile - Delimiter:
,
Populate other values according to your test scenario i.e. whether you want test to stop on .csv file end or re-spin or whatever.
And your HTTP Request should look like:
The main point is that variables defined in the CSV Data Set Config need to match the ones in the HTTP Request.
See Using CSV DATA SET CONFIG guide for detailed instructions.
I would also recommend adding the following entry to your HTTP Header Manager:
- Name:
Content-Type - Value:
application/json
elsewise your request will be treated like plain text and may fail.
Also don't forget to disable View Results Tree listener for actual load test run as it consumes a lot of resources and may lead to out-of-memory errors on JMeter side.
Also,if your formparam\ Body data contains multiple parameters like this:
UserName=abc
password=abc123,
Instead of created two columns for userName and password, it can be given in single column like this:
UserName=abc&password=abc123
This way you can loop through multiple\different URL's which takes different numbers of bodydata
E.g.: If URL1 takes only username as body data and URL2 takes Username & password as body data the above will be an easy solution.
