How would I import amazon java sdk for jmeter groovy scripts?

So currently I downloaded the jar and added it into the class path.

Jar is from: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.amazonaws/aws-java-sdk

I also ran the groovy script i have made on its own which is just a secretsmanager and it works fine separately outside of jmeter

However in the JSSR223 preprocessor I tried a simple import of import com.amazonaws.AmazonClientException and it says class not resolved meaning library wasn't there? Is there something I'm missing?

Solution

  • I don't think single .jar would be sufficient, my expectation is that you will need to have some dependencies as well so I would recommend considering using AWS SDK For Java Bundle instead, it includes all the AWS SDK services bindings and dependencies so it will be sufficient to drop the .jar to "lib" folder of your JMeter installation (or any other folder which is on JMeter Classpath) and that would be it.

    Harder way (however you might find it useful in the future)

    1. Install Apache Maven

    2. Create a minimal POM project having a single dependency of the AWS Java SDK, something like:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>org.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-java-sdk</artifactId>
            <version>1.12.163</version>
        </dependency>

    </dependencies>

</project>

    3. Open the folder where the pom.xml lives in your terminal application and execute mvn dependency:copy-dependencies command

    4. Copy all the files from target/dependency folder of the project to "lib" folder of your JMeter installation

    5. Restart JMeter

    6. You should be able to use your code now
