one of my tests uses a Loop Controller, CSV Data Set Config and an If Controller to iterate through a csv list to do one request with several parameters defined in an csv file.
I want to change this testcase to use a list of parameters that i get from an GET response in an xml format. for example using this xml list: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml now i want to iterate through all < TITLE > values.
i tried to save the response with the 'Save Responses to a file' Listener and then use a BeanShell Listener to read the file and transform it to a csv list which contains only the < TITLE > values. but i'm not sure how to to this transformation part in the BeanShell Listener.
import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
File xmlFile = new File(FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir()+"/resources/data/csv/response1.xml", "UTF-8");
String fileData = FileUtils.readFileToString(xmlFile);
fileData = fileData.replaceAll("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>", "");
fileData = fileData.replaceAll("<CATALOG>", "");
//...
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(xmlFile, fileData);
/*
f = new FileOutputStream(FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir()+"/resources/data/csv/parameterlist.csv", true);
p = new PrintStream(f);
p.println(fileData);
p.close();
f.close();
*/
there must be some solution using regex, xpath or XSL transformation on all < TITLE > elements or is there an easier way that i didn't thought of?
found a different and easier method that works for my purpose:
