Hello , I have a requirement of post file upload request with access tokens. How to club the tokens (authentication) and then pass the body parameters (mandatory feilds) to upload the file

[@RaghavPal]

Vasu Here’s how to handle file upload with an access token in JMeter: Add a Thread Group: Right-click your test plan, select Add > Thread (Users) > Thread Group Add an HTTP Header Manager: Right-click Thread Group, select Add > Config Element > HTTP Header Manager Add a header: Name: Authorization Value: Bearer Add an HTTP Request Sampler: Right-click Thread Group, select Add > Sampler > HTTP Request. Configure: Method: POST URL: Enter the endpoint URL. Body Data: Leave empty for now Enable File Upload: In the HTTP Request sampler, go to the Files Upload tab. Add your file: File Path: Full path to your file Parameter Name: The parameter expected by the API (e.g., file). Add Body Parameters: Switch to the Body Data tab in the same HTTP Request sampler. Add your mandatory fields in JSON format: { "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2" } Run and Verify: Add a listener (View Results Tree or View Results in Table) to monitor the response This configuration will upload the file and pass both the access token and mandatory parameters together -

Hi Raghav, I need help please how can I send a GET request on Website, I tried using "Record Controller" but I see POST request , is there a video on how to search on website using a unique ID please send here, greatly appreciated and very thankful for your hard work on this JMeter training

[@RaghavPal]

Shaan If while recording you are getting a post request, then that is how the website works for that particular action. But if you want to explicitly try a GET request, can check this: To send a GET request in JMeter, follow these steps: 1. Create a Test Plan: - Open JMeter and create a new Test Plan. - Add a Thread Group element to simulate users. Set the number of threads (users) and other properties. - Add an HTTP Request sampler inside the Thread Group. 2. Configure the HTTP Request: - Select the HTTP Request sampler. - In the Name field, enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Home Page"). - Set the Path field to the URL path you want to request (e.g., "/"). - Ensure the Method is set to GET. 3. Run the Test: - Save your Test Plan. - Run the test to send the GET request to the specified URL. Remember to adjust the URL and other parameters based on your specific use case. If you encounter any issues, check the request details and ensure you're not inadvertently following redirects or using incorrect settings --

[@natrajanr3968]

Raghav Sir, I am new to Jmeter and your Jmeter beginners tutorial was very useful to me. Now i have one issue. Webservices are passed by QA team through SOAP UI, and they pass username , password using WS-Security configurations and PasswordType as Password text. 1. I tried passing this credential info using HTTP header manager as Authorization and value as Basic encoded value (encoded value is Username:Password), threw me "Security credentials are required" as response. 2. I tried passing this credential also through HTTP Authorization manager by providing Username, Password and Mechanism as "BASIC_DIGEST", even for that i got "Security credentials are required" as response. 3. Downloaded plugins manager for WS-Security for SOAP plugin and placed in lib/ext folder. But plugin did not get install because of client`s Internet policy. Need your help to resolve this issue

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Rithvik, did you try to record the APIs directly from SoapUI into JMeter using Proxy. I will create a video on this next week, Can check online too

[@prathameshpawar6729]

Lovely explained

[@RaghavPal]

Thanks Prathamesh

[@unlimited_automation]

Is this API testing or performance testing or both that is done in this video using jmeter?

[@RaghavPal]

Here, it is shown how we can add REST API in JMeter, after that we can do functional and performance testing both

[@rajaniippili]

[@himanisaxena392]

Hi Raghav, I have a POST request whose output is pre-signed url. I have to upload a zip file in the generated pre-signed url via PUT request. Could you please help in creating this scenario.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Himani, Here's how you can create a JMeter test scenario to upload a zip file using a pre-signed URL generated by a previous POST request: Create a Thread Group and add a HTTP Request sampler to it for the POST request that generates the pre-signed URL. In the HTTP Request sampler, set the HTTP Method to POST and set the appropriate URL and request parameters. Add a Regular Expression Extractor post-processor to the HTTP Request sampler to extract the pre-signed URL from the response. Create another Thread Group and add a HTTP Request sampler to it for the PUT request to upload the zip file. In the HTTP Request sampler, set the HTTP Method to PUT and set the URL to the pre-signed URL extracted in step 3. Under the "Advanced" tab, set the "Send File With Request" option to the path of the zip file to be uploaded. Save the test plan and run the test This should simulate the scenario of generating a pre-signed URL using a POST request and then using the pre-signed URL to upload a zip file via a PUT request Note: Make sure to set appropriate values for headers and request parameters in both POST and PUT requests. Also, make sure to specify the correct path to the zip file in the PUT request

[@Defabius0411]

Hi Raghav I like your videos they are very usefull, i have a question how i can test an API wich receive an image captured by the cellphone. Thanxs a lot for your answer.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Fabiola, you can test file upload/ download, you can also check the image properties if you get in the response of api, for any kind of visual testing, it may not work and you will have to add other tools for that, If the image is rendered on some webpage then you can make use of tools like Applitools Galen etc Check this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6XYpX6Ip9ZjgKs

[@funnyworld-fw4774]

I have tried it by following you , but it doesn't work properly, every time it returns a list of users instead of a single user.Does make any changes in RESTAPI site? Request and response data is also not present in the site.

Can this be achieved using JMeter

Hi Ankit, thanks for the message, Do you. mean that you want to create bulk data using JMeter, You can do that. I will suggest to also check if you have API's for this too, That will be more simpler and efficient approach

[@MayaSaqi]

Hello Sir, I have tried everything but 'Same user on each iteration' is not understandable, Can you pls explain it what does this flag do, i have tried it using csv file, using clear cache etc

[@RaghavPal]

Maya In JMeter, the option "Same user on each iteration" is a checkbox found in the Thread Group element. It controls how JMeter handles user sessions and cookies across iterations What it means: When this option is: Checked: JMeter will reuse the same user session and cookies for each iteration This means that the same user credentials, cookies, and session data will be used for each iteration of the test Unchecked: JMeter will create a new user session and cookies for each iteration This means that each iteration will start with a fresh user session, and any cookies or session data from previous iterations will be discarded Significance and use: Here are some scenarios where this option is significant: Login and authentication: If your application requires users to log in, and you want to test the login process, you should uncheck "Same user on each iteration" This will simulate a new user login for each iteration, allowing you to test the authentication process Session-based applications: If your application uses session-based authentication or stores user data in session cookies, you should check "Same user on each iteration". This will ensure that the same user session is reused across iterations, simulating a real-user experience Cookie-based applications: If your application uses cookies to store user preferences or data, you should check "Same user on each iteration". This will ensure that the same cookies are reused across iterations, simulating a real-user experience Performance testing: When performing performance testing, you may want to test the application's behavior under different user loads. In this case, unchecking "Same user on each iteration" can help simulate a larger user base, as each iteration will start with a fresh user session Functional testing: When performing functional testing, you may want to test specific user scenarios, such as login, logout, and session expiration. In this case, checking "Same user on each iteration" can help simulate a real-user experience, while unchecking it can help test specific scenarios -
