JMeter - Create Custom Property File

Question

I have a script with User Defined Variables

These are to be defined as a property in a custom property file (other than jmeter or user properties)

Also, in the groovy script (JSR223 Sampler) a file location needs to be parameterized into the same custom property file.

Please let me know if there is a way out. Thanks for your support.

You can put the following lines to i.e. custom.properties file:

Host=10.184.192.248
User=root
Pass=install
FileLocation=C:/Users/503289283/Downloads/Service_Names.csv

Then you can "tell" JMeter to read this property file via -q command-line argument like:

jmeter -q /path/to/custom.properties -t /path/to/testplan.jmx .....

And finally you can use __P() function to read the properties values in the User Defined Variables:

${__P(host,)}

In the JSR223 Sampler you can use props shorthand to retrieve FileLocation property value like:

f = new File(props.get('FileLocation'))
