I need to set and get variables in Jmeter for API automation.

I am using the groovy script for same.

I have achieved same using code as below:

import org.apache.jmeter.util.JMeterUtils;

JMeterUtils.setProperty("PC_CREATED_PROMO_CODE", "shubhamvalue");

log.info("will it work? ="+JMeterUtils.getProperty("PC_CREATED_PROMO_CODE"))

Now the problem is I am not able to see the value in any contanier where I can set my hardcode values like token, baseURL, Headers. it should be similar we do in SOAP-UI or postman tests.

Please let me know if I can see these setProperty values in file/section/container in Jmeter.

Or suggest me any other workaround which is more feasible for same.

enter image description here

Any workaround will be helpful and appreciated in advance.

If you need to get and set variables I would recommend using vars shorthand

As per documentation

Properties are not the same as variables. Variables are local to a thread; properties are common to all threads, and need to be referenced using the __P or __property function.

So I would suggest setting variables as: vars.put('foo', 'bar') and accessing them as ${foo} where required as my expectation is that you will be getting different PC_CREATED_PROMO_CODE for each thread (virtual user)

Also be aware that it is also recommended to avoid scripting where possible so consider going for JSON Extractor instead.

  • vars saves key-pair in which container.. means in property or User Defined Variables – Shubham Jain Jan 25 '18 at 12:43
  • additionally which container I should use for putting my variables .. property , user defined variables or any other option. variables needs to be updated time time as per script logic so what you will suggest in that case – Shubham Jain Jan 25 '18 at 12:45

To view properties in file/section you can use 2 functions __property or__P while the second will return 1 as default. in your case 

${__property(PC_CREATED_PROMO_CODE)}

${__P(PC_CREATED_PROMO_CODE)}

For example you can change next sampler name to Post2 ${__property(PC_CREATED_PROMO_CODE)}

BTW you can set property use props instead

 props.setProperty("PC_CREATED_PROMO_CODE", "shubhamvalue" )

Example of use in HTTP Header Manager, adding cotentType from property:

1) In JMeter GUI mode, under WorkBench, create Property Display by WorkBench > Add > Non-Test Elements > Property Display. Then select JMeter Properties checkbox to view all the exist properties

props.put("shubhamKey", "shubhamValue")

When you execute this code the property will set in a property file and you can see it in below location:

WorkBench > Add > Non-Test Elements > Property Display.

2) Now if you are want to use User Defined Variables in your scripts you can call value like below:

vars.get("shubhamUserKey")

Still looking to set the value from code in User Defined Variables

  • You can set variable with property value as vars.put("shubhamKey", props.get("shubhamUserKey")) – Ori Marko Jan 25 '18 at 12:01
  • vars.put("shubhamUserKeyagain","shubhamUservalue") is not working to add values in User Defined Variables – Shubham Jain Jan 25 '18 at 12:08
  • User Defined Variables is not the best way to update variables. please open a new question because it's too broad to answer here – Ori Marko Jan 25 '18 at 12:09
