Hi All, I have the following in JMeter
| |-- HTTP Request Sampler (search) | | | --- RegEx PostProcessors (x15) | |-- ForEach | | | --- HTTP Request Sampler (page) | | | |-- RegEx PostProcessor (extracts $_something) | | | --- BeanShell PostProcessor | |-- HTTP Request Sampler (using $_somelist) The first HTTP request performs a search that gets a list of 10 items. I then (for the sake of doing it simply) have 15 RegEx PostProcessors to extract each link from the results. For each of those links I then extract some other information via another HTTP Request. The idea is then to create a list of some of these items that I use in the final HTTP Request. My BeanShell PostProcessor should do this. Here is the code I have in there: String thing = (String) vars.get("_something"); Object list_obj = vars.get("_somelist"); String list = null; if (list_obj == null) { log.info("new list"); list = thing; } else { log.info("concat list"); java.util.Random random = new java.util.Random(System.currentTimeMillis()); int rand = random.nextInt(100); if (rand < 40) { list = (String) list_obj; list += "%2C" + thing; } } vars.put("_somelist", list); When I run this, I get the following Logging: 2010/10/06 11:46:58 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *new list* 2010/10/06 11:46:58 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:58 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *new list* 2010/10/06 11:46:58 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement:* concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:58 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *new list* 2010/10/06 11:46:58 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:58 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *new list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *new list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *new list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *concat list* 2010/10/06 11:46:59 INFO - jmeter.util.BeanShellTestElement: *new list* It does indeed loop through 15 times, but seemingly arbitrarily it thinks that var _somelist is null and so starts a new list. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Paul. -- --------------------------------------------- Paul Loy p...@keteracel.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/paulloy
