如何在 JMeter 中使用 post 请求发送 xml 文件

Question

I am using JMeter 2.13 . I am sending xml as attachment in Post request

Parameters authenticity_token :- hjghjsdfhjghsjkdg, utf8 :- ✓

HTTP Header Manager :- Accept : text/xml, C ontent Type :- text/xml

Port 80 , Method Post, Protocol http

I am adding file address as in attachement

System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "NewXMLEvent.xml"

I want to send xml as file rather than parameter or body, this xml file is created with code, its not working , Do I need to add any other header info, or data

response I am getting is XML content expected

Answer 1

Your approach won't work.

If you need to upload a file - valid values are:

1. Full path to the file (recommended)
2. Relative path to the file
3. JMeter Property which is set during JMeter launch or via user.properties file

---

If you need to send XML file content :

1. Switch to "Body Data" tab

2. Use __FileToString() function to specify source XML file location

   

You can even combine __FileToString() function with__Beanshell() function to dynamically get the file path like:

${__FileToString(${__BeanShell(System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "NewXMLEvent.xml",)},,)}

I know, the syntax is scary, that's why I use Function Helper Dialog for generating functions.

See How to Use JMeter Functions posts series for more information on above and other useful JMeter functions.

Answer 2

I tried the above three steps posted in Answer 1 and none of them actually worked. I am testing a REST API.

My XML file has about 5000 lines, so it would be convenient if I could just point do 1. above the full path to file. However, this did not work. I also had three other parameters, other than the one called content and had to supply the value.

In JMeter 3.0, with Method as POST, under Parameters I supplied: param1 value1 param2 value2 param3 value3 For content, I opened the XML file with an Editor and then Select All, then Copy. In JMeter for Value->Detail - This opens up an scratch pad. Paste XML content in that. Just for content, I checked Encoding and Equals.

This way I was able to send my XML file. Hope this works for others as well
