Jakarta JMeter / Tipps & Tricks

Post by ^rooker »

Introduction:

I've written some not-quite-default testplans using Jakarta's JMeter and I found that due to an exteme lack of documentation, things were harder than expected.

In order to save someone else some time, I'll post a few things here that I found out.

Use "__time" and format date without aliases

Post by ^rooker »

I wanted to have the current day, month and year separatedly. Here's my problem and the solution:

Code: Select all

${__time('yyyy',)} // just returned yyyy
${__time(yyyy,)} // returns 2006
//...but beware of this one:
${__time("yyyy",)} // returns "2006" (including ")
You have to use double quotes instead of single ones.
I spent about an hour on this stupid little problem... :oops:

Cookie Manager oddity

Post by ^rooker »

1) Delete manually set cookies:
When loading a .jmx which has cookies already set within the CookieManager, the "delete" button is disabled.

Add a new line, then the "delete" button will be enabled again - and then delete as you wish.

2) Manually added cookies are treated very differently than cookies set by the site automatically.
  • Currently it is NOT possible to access a cookie variable if it was sent manually.
