pass http request response to use in others http requests in same thread group

I'm new using JMeter and I have this case:

Test Plan
  Test Group1
   Http Request 1
   Json Extractor1
   BeanShell Assertion1
   Http Request 2
   Http Request 3

And I want to use the response of HTTP req 1(extracted in JSON extractor) in both HTTP request 2 and 3. For request 2 is working fine I just use ${response} and works fine but when I try to user the same variable in request 3 is like is empty is not showing anything.

So I tried to put the BeanShell Assertion and do a var.set or even a set property, but is still not working. It is like the var or property is being set, and I can see them in HTTP req 2 but in HTTP req 3 they are empty.

Is there another way to set the variable or the response of the request 1 to be use in any other requests of the same thread?

Thanks

Solution

You need to amend your test design and make the JSON Extractor a child of the Http Request 1

Test Plan
- Test Group1
  - HTTP Request 1
    - JSON Extractor
  - HTTP Request 2
  - HTTP Request 3

If you have JSON Extractor at the same level as HTTP Requests 1-3 it's being executed after every of them so it tries to extract the value from HTTP Request 2 response, doesn't find it and the variable gets empty or default value.

The same applies to the Beanshell Assertion.

With regards to using Beanshell in general it's not very recommended, since JMeter 3.1 you should be using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language
