Hello all,
So I am a little confused with how variables are working in a single Thread
Group.
I have attached a "User Defined Variables" config element to my thread
group. From there I setup a HTTP Request sampler under the thread group. I
also under the thread group have a BeanShell Sampler with a script that
basically acts as a special counter to modify the User defined variables
that are used in the Http request.
But when I run the test using say 3 threads and 1 loop, it only makes 3 http
requests using the same value of the variable (the initial). If I run it
with 1 thread and 3 loops, it works as intended, giving 3 different values
properly incremented by the BeanShell sampler.
In reading I ran across something that mentioned using JMeter Properties to
share values between threads. But even with that I am still not able to get
it to properly use the values.
What is the proper/best way to have a shared value among all the threads so
that it increments properly? And is a BeanShell sampler the proper way to
ensure it increments properly? I am using a CSV data set config for the
http request for two variables in it. So essentially the CSV has a static
list of values that is looped through but the counter should keep going up
independently of that and just tags those values.
My test hierarchy looks as such:
Test plan
|- Thread Group
|- Http Request
|-Simple Data Writer
|- BeanShell Sampler
|- User Defined Variables
Hopefully that is clear enough, if not, let me know I can provide any
additional details/samples.
Thanks!
