JMeter not reading variable from CSV file

Question

I'm new to Jmeter and am trying to use variables from a CSV file in the path of my HTTP GET request.

I've looked through various tutorials and answers to this question, but I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The file just has one header (ID). It works if I enter the ID in the path, but as soon as I try read it from the CSV file, it fails:

Answer 1

Your configuration looks good, double check jmeter.log file for any suspicious entries.

Other recommendations:

• Given you have only a single column it might be easier to use __StringFromFile() function directly in the HTTP Request sampler body like:

   /api/Users/${__StringFromFile(c:\\Automation\\Test.csv,,,)}

• I believe Content-Type and Authorization should go in HTTP Header Manager , not in the request parameters

See Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter article for more details.

Answer 2

The problem wasn't with the reading of the variable. I thought that the first line of the file would be treated as a header, but it reads the first line of the file as a variable, so my file looked like:

ID 001

It read "ID", when I wanted it read "001.
