Thanks Jordi - I downloaded the latest CVS and my code is now working
for system properties. I ended up not subclassing ArgumentsPanel (just
using the code you sent). This is because my GUI component is more
primitive (single JTextField instead of table).
Currently, the modifyTestElement method looks like this:
---------------------------------------------------------
public void modifyTestElement(TestElement args)
{
...
Properties p = System.getProperties();
...
if ( propName.startsWith(propsPrefix.getText()) )
{
Argument arg = new Argument(propName.toString(),
p.getProperty(propName), "=") ;
---------------------------------------------------------
I can now enter "java" in the Config element's JTextField and then use
${java.vendor}, ${java.classpath}, etc., directly in my tests. Very
nice!
However, my code can only read System properties and properties
specified on the command line with the '-D' param. If I run JMeter with
the '-n <propfile>' param, my code can't access the properties specified
in '<propfile>' - maybe because they are "JMeter properties". How can my
code access "JMeter properties"?
Once that is sorted out, I'll post the patch to Jmeter-dev if that's all
right.
With regards,
Sonam Chauhan
