O.K. I found that the only way it worked was if I supplied a relative path to the data file.
ie My test script was in c:\mytest\test1.jmx the datafile was in c:\mytest\data.csv The filename I supplied in the csv dataset config was data.csv If you want it to be in a subdir called data then data/data.csv -----Bhanu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ----- To: JMeter Users List <[email protected]> From: Bhanu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 11/14/2005 11:11AM Subject: Re: reading input from file Hi James, I dint include single quotes around variable names in CSV Data Set Config. And yes, u guessed it right , the file is not being read. 'ERROR - jmeter.config.CSVDataSet: Failed to read file: D:\Sitestuff\test.csv ' How do i handle this? Also, i even tried the test plan with CSV Data set Config as a sub element to HTTP Request as per a suggestion that came in. This doesnt work either. Now, - how do i make the file be read? -should i leave the CSV Data Set config Element as the child to HTTP Request or take it to the same level as HTTP Request as earlier. thanks, Bhanu.

You haven't included them have you? I could have made that clearer. CSV Data Set Config should contain username,password The problem is either that the values are not being placed in the variables or that the file is not being read. To check if the file is being read check the jmeter log file which can be found in jakarta-jmeter2.1\bin\jmeter.log If there is no error regarding csvread then the problem is elsewhere.

It doesn't work. It doesnt read data from the file. The log file shows <sampleResult timeStamp="1131960994017" dataType="text" threadName="test 1-1" label="Login Request" time="20987" responseMessage="Non HTTP response message" responseCode="Non HTTP response code" success="false"><property xml:space="preserve" name="samplerData">GET https://www.sitestuff.com:443/hypertork/performLogin?username=&password=&login=1 Wherez it going wrong? NP: The test plan works when i provide values to the user variables rather than asking it to read from file. thanx, Bhanu --------------------------------- Yahoo!
