Jmeter JSR223 Method addOptions( com.jayway.jsonpath.Option ) not found in class'com.jayway.jsonpath.Configuration

I'm getting error while running the bellow java code in Jmeter JSR223 sampler

import com.jayway.jsonpath.Configuration;
import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath;
import com.jayway.jsonpath.Option;
import net.minidev.json.JSONArray;


String json = "{\"store\":{\"book\":[{\"category\":\"reference\",\"author\":\"Nigel Rees\",\"title\":\"Sayings of the Century\",\"price\":8.95},{\"category\":\"fiction\",\"author\":\"Evelyn Waugh\",\"title\":\"Sword of Honour\",\"price\":12.99},{\"category\":\"fiction\",\"author\":\"Herman Melville\",\"title\":\"Moby Dick\",\"isbn\":\"0-553-21311-3\",\"price\":8.99},{\"category\":\"fiction\",\"author\":\"J. R. R. Tolkien\",\"title\":\"The Lord of the Rings\",\"isbn\":\"0-395-19395-8\",\"price\":22.99}],\"bicycle\":{\"color\":\"red\",\"price\":19.95}},\"expensive\":10}";

        String jsonPath = "$..book[?(@.author == 'Nigel Rees')].title";

        Configuration config = Configuration.defaultConfiguration().addOptions(Option.DEFAULT_PATH_LEAF_TO_NULL);

        JSONArray authorsArr = JsonPath.using(config).parse(json).read(jsonPath);

        System.out.println(authorsArr.get(0).toString());

json-path-2.4.0.jar is added under ..\lib\ext and assume it is automatically loaded on Jmeter start.

The above code is checked in IDE and is running fine.

Solution

    1. Change "Language" to groovy, if you choose java it isn't really Java, it's Beanshell which

      • is not fully Java-compliant
      • has much worse performance comparing to Groovy

      So according to JMeter Best Practices you should switch to Groovy since JMeter 3.1. More information: Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It

    2. Change this line:

      String jsonPath = "$..book[?(@.author == 'Nigel Rees')].title";

      to this one

      String jsonPath = '$..book[?(@.author == \'Nigel Rees\')].title'

      as your Java syntax slightly conflicts with Groovy GString Template Engine

    3. You should not require any extra .jars, the code will work on vanilla JMeter instance

      enter image description here

    Also be aware that Groovy has built-in JSON support
