errors in JMeter log when using split method

how to avoid these erros in the log? The split method seem to work fine. it splits the string into 4 vars like it shoud.

i am using a BeanShell PostProcessor with the following script:

${__split(${VAR},VAR)}

${VAR} is something like bla.bla,123,12345,12345
VAR_n=4
VAR_1=bla.bla
VAR_2=123
VAR_3=12345
VAR_4=12345
VAR_5=null

Solution

  • You need to pass the String literal or a variable containing the string to the split function.

    ${__split(${VAR},VAR)} will be replaced by ${__split(bla.bla,123,12345,12345,VAR)} - it makes it throw the error.

    Instead do like this as shown here.

    ${__split("${VAR}",VAR)} which will make it look like ${__split("bla.bla,123,12345,12345",VAR)} - you would not face any issues.
