I've noticed this too. Sounds like a feature request. Basically, some way to designate which variables can be used for substitution when using the recording controller. Perhaps just a list.

I have some user defined variables: SERVER_NAME myhost.com THE_HTTP_PROTOCOL HTTP USER_COUNT 1 LOOP_COUNT 2 Then, I use a Recording Controller to capture my browser actions. Unfortunately, JMeter does more variable substitution than I'd like it to. For example, it substitutes ${LOOP_COUNT} into a web site name that contains "2", e.g., "/host${LOOP_COUNT}/somePage". My favorite example of over-zealous variable substitution is my ${THE_${THE_HTTP_PROTOCOL}_PROTOCOL} Header Manager. Is it possible to make the recording more selective about what variables can be used for substitution? For example, of the variables I've listed, I'd really only like SERVER_NAME to be substituted in. I'm using JMeter 2.11. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
