Kindly let me know the recording program that u r using it.
i an using mac in-built programs.
Great video, thanks. Could you please tell how i can dynamically change name and content of json file by every request in jmeter
Hi, you can provide the data like name etc from variables outside the test script or use csv file. Check for parameterisation videos in jmeter playlist here - automationstepbystep.com/online-courses/
Hi Raghav . Thanks for the videos. They are very informative and you are very good at explaining things. Well done..
Also i would like to know if you have any video explaining how to deal with Kerberos authentication. I saw many posts online but none of them were informative. It will be great if you have or make one.. thanks again.
Hi Muralidhar, thanks for watching and liking. I do not have any video on that as of now. Will try to make something on that soon.
Thanks for your prompt response. to add on to our audience requests , the course will be complete with a video on Master and Slave configuration too. No one have proper videos or explanation on that topic too.
sure. Taken down.
Hi. Very informative and well-structured content. I have one question. I am looking for the mime-type for .tdms files. Could you please help me with the same?
Hi, I will need to see some online examples
@@RaghavPalSure. Thank you. Please do let me know if you find something :)
Hi Raghav, thanks for uploading these videos , it has helped to learn jmeter within no time.I have a query regarding put method ,
our application uses PUT method to upload files , in put method when i specify file location , jmeter is not picking up the file and our services ends up in creating zero kb file .. can you please let me know how i should proceed?
hi Nixon, will be difficult to troubleshoot this without any logs. Just re-check the path provided is correct and accessible.
Hi Raghav , i was able to resolve this , by removing parameter name and keeping it blank ..the test started picking the physical file location.
Hi Raghav, very useful video thank you, quick question, can we upload video files to csv and test with the same method? My test case is filling up few fields in a webform and then upload a video at the same time. Thanks.
Hi Reena, If its a file, the process should be the same. You can try
@@RaghavPal So there are few mp4 files that I need to add one each time along with the other text fields in the webform.
Okay you can try that. Can also take some online help
Hi Raghav,Thanks for all the videos and all the effort you are putting to educate all of us. I would like to ask a question, I have a scenario in which I need to test XML file upload. I have used blazemeter to record the test and even record the test with JMeter itself but don't know why my upload is not successful. My application is ASP.NET and there is a guid, i am new to performance testing i have used a regular expression for GUID but it's not working. Below is the code when I inspect the element.
Can you suggest something which can help me in my test . Thank you.
Hi Sadia, will have to see your app and check
Hi Raghav, Thanks a lot for this video but I don't understand what performance testing we are doing here. Just upload an image into the server and seeing results in the listener. Please explain to me if understood wrong.
Hi Hari, so here we are checking the server's ability to handle multiple file uploads. When there will be multiple users doing file upload at the same time, how will server behave, will there be any performance issues etc..
Hi Raghav,
Thanks for the information. I have the download and upload task to perform.
Let me try this and come back to you for any help.

Hi sir. Thank you. This vedio is very useful. I have one question I.e., if I have recorded a perticular function that has done on the browser. Now how can I run that recorded script later to see whether that functionality is working or not and if it's working how to check the response time. Please help me with the answer sir. Thanks in advance !!
Hi Sukanya, I did not completely understand your question. If you record and play the script and its working fine. It should work fine later as well unless their are some changes at the application or data. And response time etc you can check in Listeners. Pls check JMeter course here - automationstepbystep.com/online-courses/
Thank you so much sir... I will try and get back to you if there is any concerns ☺️

when I am using Recording template for file uploading got an error File not found exception so whether I will have to put my file in \bin\template folder or not ?
Hi, if you put your file in jmeter's bin folder then you don't need to give complete file path, else you will need to give the entire path.
Thanks a Lot Raghav,
I have one query for the same ,
As per above scenario, we have posted only one file upload. But if we Add more files(e.g. using add button in 'file Upload' tab) in same Request Then how should i post all files one by one ??

thanks for this video, I would like to ask you a couple of questions.
I am trying to upload a file from jmeter consuming a Restful service, on the other hand the service is implemented in java with spring. my service receives two parameters one string and the other multipart, when I send to my service with a payload I recognize the first string parameter, the second multipart parameter that must be the file sends it empty. I do not know if jmeter has problems with the Content-Disposition: form-data; name = "file"; filename = "test.txt" but it does not work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. please I need help.
Hi Oscar, if you can send me your jmx and complete scenario, i can look into it.
Dear Raghav,
This is the link where I attach part of the code in java that I use to create the service and the jmx I am using.
drive.google.com/file/d/0BwNQ8b7jz9pBSGVIVGU0c2w3b3c/view?usp=sharing
The problem that you comment in the comment of your video about uploading a file with Jmeter. Well what happens is that I try to use that jmx to be able to send a file to my service, but this one receives the attachment as null, empty, and I do not know why that happens. Please your help. Thank you.
Some help?
Hi Raghav ,
Thanks for great tutorial.
I want to test folder upload containing 100 images . How do I create script for that?
Hi Hari, so you can parametrize it using csv file. You can watch the video for parameterization.
@@RaghavPal thanks for responding back. I am uploading a file of 100 images with different extensions PNG,JPEG,gif etc. Is it possible to parameterize the MIME type also?
Should be able to if you can parametrize and provide variable there
Thanks for the videos. I have a query. I have muliple csv files, and multiple users., need to upload a csv for each user. I have configured the users in CSV file and tried to configure multiple files in the file upload section, it is not successful. can anyone suggest ?
What is the error you are getting. Do you have any log information. I believe in a single csv file you can give user info and csv location. One row for each user and refer data from there in your sampler.
The recorder script saves the file location only with the filename (myphoto.jpeg). In this case, when you run again, the test fails with FileNotFound exception. I changed the file path to absolute path (C:Users\firstname.lastname\Desktop\myphoto.jpeg) and it works fine.
Hi Slobodan,
Yes, when you use relative paths in JMeter, it is relative to the current working directory of the JVM process running JMeter. So, if you run the test from a different location, the relative path might not be valid and you will get a FileNotFoundException.
Using an absolute path, as you have done, ensures that the file is located in the same place every time the test is run, regardless of the current working directory. This is why it works when you use an absolute path.
In general, it is a good practice to use absolute paths when referencing files in your JMeter tests to avoid issues like this.
Hi Raghav,
I have a question script recorder and the recording through Badboy or blazemeter is the same ?
Can I use Badboy or blazmeter instead of using script recorder directly from Jmeter?
Kindly please advise
Hi Muhammad Mustafa, I will suggest to go with Blazemeter or JMeters Test Script Recorder. BadBoy is not stable now

Hi ragav, I tried the way u said, but in drupal platform I am getting an error "An ajax error occurred" while trying to upload an image during recording.Any tips from ur end to solve this issue??
Can you record the same using blazemeter plugin and check again. This video will help - th-cam.com/video/JI99ZOuI5tQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi, Raghav! Congratulations on your videos! Could you help me, please? I need to test File Upload, but, before, it is necessary to insert the username and password. I have to access other pages to reach the page responsible for the upload action. In this case, how should the "path" be entered, please?
Hi Bruno, Thanks for watching. You can record your web test and navigation and follow the step at the file upload section. Please give it a try.
Hi, Raghav! Thanks a lot for your attention and your tip. I tried to do it. May I explain with more details?
For example:
Page 1 (Username and Password) > Page 2 > Page 3 > Page 4 (Click on a box "Select File" and, after that, on a box "Upload" ).
This action was recorded using Badboy software.
The results were insteresting, because the "path" to the Page 3 is equal to the Page 4. So, when the "path" to the Page 4 is written in the browser, the Page 3 appears.
Please, is there a solution for this situation?

Hi Raghav,
Thanks for the step-by-step explanation for the JMeter file upload.
The only source we can purely rely on.
I have quick question : How can we handle login or authentication in case of file upload to a server or S3 bucket?
Also, if I wanted to upload any file like .dat or .text or .png, will there be any general MIME type I can use?
Hi Madhu, thanks for the comment, I will check on your question
I've a question
I'm recording a script for the login form and all steps are success, but when i'm trying to record another case after login always there is an error appears once the script is running >
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
Hi Salah, your case is the typical problem of session id. What you will need to do is capture the session id after login and pass it on to other requests. This might be helpful - th-cam.com/video/7-NcyZuUQnw/w-d-xo.html
I'm already capture the token in the login script and everything is OK, but in the second script the mentioned error appeared.
Hi Raghav, thanks for the informative videos.
I am recording the script using blazemeter and with that the FileUpload section remains empty for File Upload Http request.
So I manually provided File Path, Parameter Name and MIME Type. Now when I am running the script, am facing the following exception.

How can we upload mulitple files from single source folders i mean only giving the path of folder it should upload all files present in that folder. pls suggest something .......thankyou in advance
Hi,
In the http request sampler, in the "Files Upload" tab, add a new parameter with the "Name" as "file[]" and the "Path" as the folder path containing the files
In this way, the folder path should be the path of the folder that you want to upload all files present in that folder
The "[]" at the end of "file" is important as it tells JMeter to upload multiple files.
In the "Path" field, you can use wildcards like , **/.extension, to select multiple files with a common extension or pattern
Hi Raghav,
I recorded a scenario for file upload using Blazemeter but I got an error after running the .jmx file. I check my .jmx file on cmd but it shows my .jmx file is fine. Also, do I need to add Filepath in Http request if I am using .jmx file from blazemeter.
To be more specific, I got this error.

Hi Raghav ,
I am testing single file upload. The thing is if I do it manually through any browser time it takes to upload is about 36Second and if I do through Jmeter it takes around 60seconds as response time. Is there any sampler or any component available in Jmeter to match with Browser's speed ? Please help.
Thanks
Hi Hari, pls check the thread count, Are you doing with a single user on JMeter.
@@RaghavPal yes Raghav. For now I want to achieve same speed as browser with 1 user. Once it is achieved , planning to run it with multiple users.
Ok, thats strange to know, Without looking at your setup it will be difficult to troubleshoot. Pls see the client machine, env are all same, when you are doing the comparison
Hi sir , I need to know how to send a single thread having parameters along with file upload in Jmeter
Sakshi
To send a single request with parameters and file upload in JMeter, follow these steps:
1. Create an HTTP Request Sampler:
- Add an HTTP Request sampler to your test plan.
- Configure the server details (URL, method, etc.).
2. Select "Use multipart/form-data":
- In the HTTP Request sampler, check the "Use multipart/form-data for POST" option.
- This is essential for sending files along with other parameters.
3. Add Parameters:
- If you need to send additional parameters (besides the file), add them as HTTP Request Parameters.
- Specify the parameter names and values.
4. Configure File Upload:
- In the same HTTP Request sampler, go to the "Send Files With the Request" section.
- Set the following properties:
- File Path: Specify the path to your file (e.g., `path/to/your/file.txt`).
- Parameter Name: Choose a parameter name for the file (e.g., `upload_file`).
- MIME Type: Specify the MIME type of the file (e.g., `text/plain`).
5. Boundary (Optional):
- JMeter will automatically generate a boundary for the multipart request.
- If you want to set a custom boundary, you can do so in the "Body Data" tab of the HTTP Request sampler.
6. Run Your Test:
- Execute your test plan to send the request with parameters and the uploaded file.
Here's a simplified example of how the configuration might look in JMeter:
```
HTTP Request
- Server Name or IP: example.com
- Port Number: 80
- Method: POST
- Path: /upload
Parameters:
- Parameter Name: username
Value: john_doe
- Parameter Name: description
Value: My file upload
Send Files With the Request:
- File Path: path/to/your/file.txt
- Parameter Name: upload_file
- MIME Type: text/plain
```
Remember to adjust the details (server, file path, parameter names, etc.) according to your specific use case. .

Hi Lisa, what size files are you trying with. Essentially from a client side application the regular files that needs to be uploaded to any application should be easily tested with JMeter. Let me know if there is some specific issue you are facing.
Hi, the file that works is 500 KB and the one that fails is 582 KB. The file that fails in jmeter works fine in Postman. There are no errors listed in the jmeter log. I receive a 500 connection error (no additional details) from my server.
hi Raghav, I am able to upload a file with size 500kb with jmeter but not 582kb. There are no errors in the log. I get a 500 response. However, if I use Postman to do the same upload that fails in jmeter it works. So that leads me to believe there is a limit in jmeter. Is there anyway to get around it?
Hi Lisa, i am not able to troubleshoot this issue. May be you can do some browsing and try to find out.

Hi raghav
Muze excel file upload krna hai from bin folder to MIME type kaise put krna hai?
Pallavi
Here's how to set the MIME type for uploading an Excel file from the bin folder in JMeter's HTTP Request sampler:
1. Configure HTTP Request Sampler:
- Open the HTTP Request sampler in JMeter.
- Set the Method to POST (or the appropriate method for your upload endpoint).
- Enter the correct URL of the upload endpoint.
2. Set MIME Type in Headers:
- Under the Headers tab, add a new header with the following details:
- Name: Content-Type
- Value: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet (for .xlsx files)
- Or, for older .xls files: application/vnd.ms-excel
3. Specify File Path in Body Data:
- Go to the Body Data tab.
- Select File Upload from the drop-down list.
- Enter the path to your Excel file in the File Path field: bin/your_excel_file.xlsx (replace with your actual file name and path).
- Optionally, set a parameter name in the Parameter Name field if required by the server.
4. Send the Request:
- Save your test plan and run the HTTP Request sampler.
- JMeter will send the POST request with the specified MIME type and the Excel file attached.
Additional Tips:
- Content-Disposition Header: Consider adding a `Content-Disposition` header with value like `filename="your_file_name.xlsx"` to suggest a filename to the server.
- Other MIME Types: For different file types, use the appropriate MIME types (e.g., `image/jpeg` for JPEG images, `text/plain` for plain text files).
- Parameter Name: If the server expects a specific parameter name for the file, provide it in the `Parameter Name` field.
- Authentication: If the upload endpoint requires authentication, configure it under the "Authorization" tab.
- Debugging: Use JMeter's View Results Tree listener to inspect the request details and server response to ensure successful upload.

Hi Raghav, Thanks. How to upload to jmeter using master and slave machine, my result is file not found.
Reinaldo
To upload a file to JMeter using a master and slave machine, you need to:
1. Copy the file to the JMeter installation directory on the master machine.
2. Update the `jmeter.properties` file on the master machine to add the file to the `remote_files` property.
3. Start the JMeter server on the master machine.
4. Start the JMeter slaves on the slave machines.
5. Run the JMeter test on the master machine.
The following is an example of how to update the `jmeter.properties` file to add a file to the `remote_files` property:
```
remote_files=myfile.csv
```
Once you have updated the `jmeter.properties` file, you need to start the JMeter server on the master machine and start the JMeter slaves on the slave machines. You can do this by running the following commands:
```
# Start the JMeter server on the master machine
jmeter-server
# Start the JMeter slaves on the slave machines
jmeter-slave
```
Once the JMeter server and slaves are running, you can run the JMeter test on the master machine. The JMeter test will automatically upload the file to the slave machines.
If you are getting a "file not found" error, it is likely that the JMeter slaves are not able to find the file. This could be because the file is not in the JMeter installation directory on the slave machines, or because the file name is misspelled in the `jmeter.properties` file.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:
* Make sure that the file is in the JMeter installation directory on the slave machines.
* Make sure that the file name is spelled correctly in the `jmeter.properties` file.
* Check the JMeter logs on the master machine and slave machines for more information about the error.
I hope this helps

Sorry sir, What if the html input do not have "name" parameter or any id?
Hi Kai
If the HTML input element for file upload does not have a "name" parameter or any ID, you can still perform file upload in JMeter using alternative methods. Here are a few approaches you can try:
1. Using XPath or CSS Selector: You can use XPath or CSS Selector to locate the file upload input element based on its attributes or position in the HTML structure. In JMeter's HTTP Request sampler, you can use the "XPath Extractor" or "CSS Selector Extractor" post-processor to extract the necessary attribute or value for file upload.
2. Using Regular Expression Extractor: If the file upload input element is within a specific HTML block or pattern, you can use the "Regular Expression Extractor" post-processor to extract the required value for file upload. Regular expressions can help capture the necessary information from the HTML response.
3. Recording the File Upload: If locating the file upload element proves challenging, you can record the file upload action using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder. This allows you to capture the actual HTTP request sent by the browser when performing the file upload. By configuring your browser to use JMeter as the proxy, you can record the file upload action and generate the necessary request in JMeter.
Remember, file upload in JMeter requires constructing a multipart/form-data request with the appropriate headers and payload. Depending on your specific scenario, you may need to extract or generate values such as boundary, content-type, and file path dynamically.
Additionally, it's important to ensure that you're sending the correct file content in the request payload. JMeter provides the "HTTP Request" sampler for sending the multipart/form-data request, and you can include the file content using the "Send Files with the Request" option.
By using these alternative methods, you should be able to perform file upload in JMeter even if the HTML input element does not have a "name" parameter or any ID
Did any of you guys face any issue when recording post requests? I'm getting an error code 419 and is not able to do any log in or file upload tests. Get requests are working perfectly. Could it be because of some issues with token access ?
Hi Karan, 419 is for authentication timeout. You may have to regenerate credentials.
419 - Authentication Timeout - Indicates that previously valid authentication has expired. Though not a part of the HTTP standard, the 419 status code is used as an alternative to 401 to differentiate from unauthorized clients being denied access.

I am trying the file upload steps with your guidance and quite successful in that. One thing I am facing the issue here is that, I am not able to find the file uploaded confirmation message in the response message even though the script is passed and got the response as "OK" with code 200.

Hi Sayed, are you using a different app than what I have used, It can be due to that
@@RaghavPal Hi Raghav,
Yes, I am using my actual application to perform this task.
Please help me what could be the reason.
Thanks,

Okay in that case, it should be fine if you are getting success code, you can check your app to see what is actually displayed after a successful upload and try to verify that
@@RaghavPal Yes Raghav, looked for that message in response content but unable to find the confirmation message. What could be the reason.

When we have not tagname as input then how we used this scenario.
Here are the steps on how to handle file uploads in JMeter when you don't have a tagName as input:
1. Identify the File Input Element:
Inspect the HTML: Use your browser's developer tools to examine the HTML code of the file upload element. Look for attributes like id, name, type, or any other unique identifiers.
Refer to API Documentation: If you're testing an API endpoint, consult the API documentation to understand how file uploads are structured and what parameters are required.
2. Choose the Appropriate Sampler:
HTTP Request Sampler: Use this if the file upload is part of a standard HTTP POST request.
HTTP Raw Request Sampler: Use this for more complex scenarios where you need to construct the entire request manually, including headers and body content.
3. Configure the Sampler:
Method: Set the method to "POST".
Path: Set the path to the file upload endpoint.
Parameters:
File Path: Provide the path to the file you want to upload on your local machine.
MIME Type: Specify the MIME type of the file (e.g., "image/jpeg" for JPEG images).
File Name: If necessary, set the desired filename for the uploaded file.
Other Parameters: Include any additional parameters required by the endpoint, such as authentication tokens or metadata.
4. Simulate File Selection (Optional):
If the application triggers a file selection dialog, you might need to simulate this behavior using a JavaScript-based workaround or custom plugins.
5. Add Assertions and Listeners:
Use assertions to verify the successful upload of the file, such as checking for a specific response code or message.
Use listeners to view detailed request and response information, including the uploaded file content.
Example with HTTP Request Sampler:
Path: /api/upload
Method: POST
Parameters:
- name: file
value:
- name: mimetype
value: image/jpeg
Additional Considerations:
Content-Type Header: JMeter might not automatically set the correct Content-Type header for multipart/form-data requests. Manually set it to multipart/form-data; boundary=, where is a unique string.
File Size: Ensure that the file you're trying to upload is within the size limits of the application or server.
Security Restrictions: Be mindful of any security restrictions that might prevent file uploads, such as firewalls or browser settings.

Upload Files
Hi sir, In my application, i only have these kind of name for file upload, In this case, what parameter name should i use
And also if i use recorder, without proxy file uploading correctly, with proxy it showing file size exceed or server error. i tried to do update other things(like add task) it not updating. Is it based on application related or it in proxy related things sir
Alex
Here's how to address the file upload and proxy-related issues in JMeter:
1. Parameter Name for File Upload:
- Inspect Network Requests: Use your browser's developer tools (Network tab) to capture the actual request made when a file is uploaded.
- Identify Key Parameter: Look for the parameter name used for the file data in the request body. It's often `file`, `upload`, or a custom name specific to your application.
- Test Manually: If unsure, try different names in JMeter until the upload succeeds.
2. Proxy-Related Issues:
- Check Proxy Configuration: Ensure your JMeter proxy settings match those in your browser, including IP address, port, and authentication if required.
- Review Proxy Server Logs: Look for errors or limitations related to file size or specific actions.
- Test Without Proxy: If the issue persists, temporarily disable the proxy to isolate the cause.
- Consider Alternative Solutions: If the proxy is restrictive, explore bypassing it for specific requests or using a different testing approach.
Additional Troubleshooting Tips:
- MIME Type: Ensure the MIME type of the uploaded file is correctly set in JMeter.
- Encoding: Verify that file encoding is handled properly in both JMeter and your application.
- File Path: Double-check the file path specified in JMeter's HTTP Request sampler.
- Server-Side Limitations: Investigate potential server-side restrictions on file size or types.
Specific to Your Scenario:
- Angular Application: Be aware that Angular might dynamically generate parameter names. Use browser developer tools to capture the exact name used during upload.
- Application-Related Issues: If other actions like adding tasks also fail with the proxy, further investigate application-specific behaviors or limitations.
Key Points:
- Use browser developer tools to inspect network requests and identify parameter names.
- Thoroughly check proxy configurations and logs for errors or restrictions.
- Consider alternative testing approaches if proxy issues persist.
