Yes, I agree about the part of relative paths. I try to solve this by making the path a variable in the User defined variables. That will make it maintainable in my situation.
Indeed, I could copy the csv file to the .jmx dir. -Sander -----Original Message----- From: Michael Stover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 17 augustus 2005 14:54 To: jmeter-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: RE: CSV Data Set Config I'm not opposed to this - I can probably make the file server look for an absolute path if the relative is not found. But, the point of the relative paths is that the days of a jmeter test being just a .jmx file are pretty much gone. Nowadays, any non-trivial test will likely have one or more supporting files. As a result, I want to move JMeter in a direction where a "test script" is the whole deal - the .jmx plus all supporting files. I want this so that A) remote testing can be simple and not require setting up the target servers with all the supporting files before running and B) so that test scripts can be packaged and transported around without hassle. This includes full support for the module controller. If you make a test with an absolute pathname, that won't work on any computer, thus the relative paths based on the location of the .jmx. For your situation, I'm not sure why it's "not possible". If you like, you can create a "testdata" directory under the dir where the .jmx is, and if you are running jmeter via an automated script, I can't see why it would be hard to copy the testdata to this directory. -Mike On Wed, 2005-08-17 at 13:59 +0200, Sander Stevens wrote: > Thanks Mike. > > Maybe a request to enhance the CSV Data Set Config so you can also use a > path?
