Zipping XML file in Jmeter

I need to create a xml file and then zip and upload. I am able to create xml file and upload but fail to zip the file. Can we zip xml files using Jmeter. Please let me know if anyone has a working code

Solution

  • There are multiple ways of archiving the file in JMeter, the easiest is calling 3rd-party program like zip or 7zip console archiver using OS Process Sampler.

    Alternatively you can use

    for generating a zip archive on the fly programmatically, example code would be something like:

    import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils

def xml = new File('/path/to/your/file.xml')

def zip = new File('/path/to/created/archive.zip')

def out = new java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zip))

out.putNextEntry(new java.util.zip.ZipEntry(xml.getName()))

xml.withInputStream {
    IOUtils.copy(it, out)
}

IOUtils.closeQuietly(out)
