Get an onRun cell text and use as parameter in a filter












0















Currently I am learning jmeter and using it to test a reporting tool
This portal I am testing contains a table that as default, brings all the data the moment the user access the view.



My test needs to access this view, capture a value (any value) from a specific column (and any row) and then search for this value.



I was checking how to capture this on run parameter with Jmeter and found this:
https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-to-retrieve-database-data-for-api-testing-with-jmeter



but as I understood, I would need access to the database in order to do it, which I dont.



Any idea of how to retrieve this?



Thanks!

          JMeter provides a number of Post-Processors which can be used for extracting data from the table.



          If you're talking about normal HTML Table - the most suitable would be XPath Extractor, the relevant XPath query would be something like /table/tr/td/text()



          So if you add XPath Extractor and configure it like



          enter image description here



          You will be able to use random cell text as ${value} where required



          enter image description here

          • Hi Dmitri, thanks for the answer, when I changed to the same view as your screenshot, came a Json instead of HTML. I added the Json Extractor and managed to get the value I wanted.
