Jmeter beanscript get currentTime doesnt work

I am new to Jmeter. create a Jsr223 postprocessor and select language as Bsh.

import java.util.Date; 
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

long mill = System.currentTimeMillis();
log.info(mill);

output:

 ERROR - jmeter.extractor.JSR223PostProcessor: Problem in JSR223 script JSR223 PostProcessor javax.script.ScriptException: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``import java.util.Date;  import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;  long mill = System.c . . .

please advise a fix. thank you!

Solution

  • First of all, are you aware of __time() JMeter function which can output current time in the different formats?

    If you still want to do it in Beanshell be informed that you cannot print a Long value directly to jmeter.log file, you need to cast it to String first using one of the following approaches

    • log.info(String.valueOf(mill));
    • log.info(Long.toString(mill));
    • log.info("Current time is: " + mill);

    You can get a "good" Beanshell error by putting your code inside the try block like:

    JMeter beanshell try catch
