I cant help but feel that this is a proposed solution to a problem rather
than the problem itself.
Literally you are asking the equivalent of I have a java class , can i
figure out the value of a variable without running the java class. In which
case the answer is no. However a variable is just initial state + algorithm
so you can always figure out its value it would have if you are willing to
duplicate the steps.(or in your case , how does JMeter determine
${myTestRoot}) or you can specify your original problem statement and see
if anyone has a different suggestion.regards deepak On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 5:27 AM, Oliver Lloyd <[email protected]>wrote: > Is it possible to resolve the value of a jmeter variable from an external > program? > > So, if I have a jmx that has, for example, a CSV Config control that has a > literal path of: > > ${myTestRoot}/some/other/dir/myfile.csv > > Using an external program, I want to take this jmx xml file and parse it > to read the location of the file so I can do stuff with it (before I > actually run the test).
