Always failed to pass the token on the first try, but succeeded on the second try

The Jmeter I am using is version 5.5, I want to pass the token generated by Thread Group 01, to Thread Group 02. After doing some research, I know how to do it, but it always fails at the first try.

In Thread Group 01, I performed the following configuration:

  1. JSON Extractor to get the token and store it into bearerToken variable,

  2. JSR223 PostPocessor & groovy to pass token to another thread, I wrote this ${__setProperty(bearerToken,${bearerToken})}

    JSR223 Post Processor

In Thread Group 02, I performed the following configuration:

  1. User Defined Variables, then using __property() function

    property function

  2. And use it as a header

    http header

Every time it is run for the first time, the http-request in Thread Group 02 always fails to run because it doesn't get a token. But if it is run again for the second time, it will succeed.

The yellow box is the first time Thread Group 01 (Login & Debug Sampler) and Thread Group 02 (Index) are run, the blue box is the condition when run for the second time.

I thought initially Thread Group 02 was run first before Thread Group 01, that's why I enabled the "Run Thread Groups consecutively (i.e. one at a time)" option in the Test Plan. I ran it and checked the listener, the result was the same, Thread Group 01 (Login & Debug Sampler) was successfully run but Thread Group 02 (Index) was not successful because it did not get an access token.

Solution

    1. Amend your JSR223 PostProcessor code to use props and vars shorthands instead of inlining the function there:

      props.put('bearerToken', vars.get('bearerToken'))

    2. In your HTTP Header Manager use __P() function as

      ${__P(bearerToken,)}
