--- Comment #4 from Sebb <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Flavio Cysne from comment #3) > > The randomness is a condition that makes JMeter reads a random number of > times before really assigning the values to variables. The user would have to provide the maximum random number or the code would have to read the file once to determine how many lines there were. Unless you just mean it should skip a random number of lines from current position, though there is still the issue of the maximum possible skip value. Though I suppose it might be possible to seek to the random byte offset in the file and then find the next line boundary (not 100% sure that's always possible with multi-byte characters). If the records varied much in length this would not give a very even distribution; it would favour the next record after long records. I don't see a use case for this that cannot be solved much more simply by randomising the input before the test starts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
