How to pass cookies value from one request body to another thread group request - cookies

I am new to JMeter and stuck in this issue, As we hit auth page two cookies have been created which are attached to all requests further. My few requests are failing as they are not getting these cookies in their request body. Kindly check the attached images cookies created at -32 need to be appended in the request -57. Please help me to pass these cookies to that request.

As per Functions and Variables chapter of JMeter Documentation:
Properties are not the same as variables. Variables are local to a thread; properties are common to all threads, and need to be referenced using the __P or __property function.
So JMeter's HTTP Cookie Manager stores cookies for each thread (virtual user) and they're not available in the other threads even in the same Thread Group and for some reason you have several Thread Groups.
The easiest solution is moving all the requests so they would be under the same Thread Group and placing your "login" samplers under the Once Only Controller
If for some reason you want to continue with your current test design (although it doesn't look good to me) you will need to:
Extract cookies from the HTTP Cookie Manager for each thread (virtual user) in 1st Thread Group
Convert them into JMeter Properties
In 2nd Thread Group read the JMeter Properties containing the cookies and re-create them in the HTTP Cookie Manager
It can be accomplished using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language

How to pass cookies in jmeter (browser cookies and manualy add cookies in same time)

I want to pass browser automatically store cookies and manually added cookies in JMeter request.
enter image description here
Default cookie manager to use to get default cookies to browser create
into pet-type-3. HTTP Cookie Manager uses to add manually cookies to that request.
but that request also passes only default requests in browser creation.
How to pass these two types of cookies in this request.
Given you're providing valid cookies which match domain and path - they will be added along with the cookies coming in Set-Cookie response header
Demo:
as you can see by cookie foo with the value of bar has beed added to the "normal" cookies used by google
So I believe you just need to move your HTTP Cookie Manager to be direct child of the Thread Group as currently it's being applied to /pet-type-3 sampler only and in order to catch the cookies you call "browser" ones it need to be applied to all HTTP Request samplers.

How to extract Cookie Data in JMeter

I am new to JMeter and creating JMeter scripts on .Net Framework version 4.5.
I am facing a challenge or issue that how to extract/capture values like .ASPXAuth, AuthToken, Sesson ID generating on login into web application as Cookie Data but unable to use the same in the subsequent requests as there is no parameter available in Requests.
Actually, I need to extract the cookie data value from response header and to use it further in the subsequent requests. Please share the steps to do the same.
If you need to add cookies support to your JMeter script just add a HTTP Cookie Manager to your test plan.
The HTTP Cookie Manager automatically extracts the cookies from the Set-Cookie response header, checks their validity and adds them to the next request if domain and path of the HTTP Request samplers match the Cookie's domain and path.
So in the majority of cases it's sufficient to just add the HTTP Cookie Manager in order to get browser-like behaviour when it comes to cookies handling.
If you need to use the values of the cookies somewhere else, i.e. in a request parameter you can add the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
upon JMeter restart the incoming cookies values will be stored as JMeter Variables so you will be able to access the value of .ASPXAuth cookie as ${COOKIE_.ASPXAuth}, the value of AuthToken cookie as ${COOKIE_AuthToken}, etc.

why cookies are removed when retrieving embedded resources in JMETER

I'm new to JMeter so forgive me if I'm asking the obvious. I am writing a performance test for a site protected by user password, where the authentication is passed as a token in the cookies.
I am able to extract the token and add it to the pages themselves, but when using "retrieve embedded resources" it seems like the cookies are being cleared. I have a single cookie manager at the top of the thread group and the token itself is being added by a beanshell postprocessor.
Any ideas ?
Gil.
I have never heard about cookies removal from the "embedded resources" request, looking into the View Results Tree listener the cookies are present on fresh JMeter 3.0 installation
If HTTP Cookie Manager is disabled or removed I don't see this "Cookie Data"
So my expectation is that you either misconfigured something or made a mistake in your Beanshell script.
By the way, you can "tell" JMeter to store cookies as JMeter Variables by adding CookieManager.save.cookies=true line to user.properties file. See Using the HTTP Cookie Manager in JMeter article for more detailed information.

Session management in Apache JMeter

I would like to have a simple performance test which logs in multiple users, the sessions are created and do not expire until n minutes (where n is a parameter).
Is it possible to do this with JMeter? Do JMeter invalidate sessions at the end of the test?
In general, the expiration times of your cookies have to be set on the server side. The actual implementation will vary depending on your server side technology stack (see e.g. here for PHP's session docs), but it should be feasible, for example, to make a simple page that recognizes an "incoming" GET parameter value (from jMeter) for setting the cookie's expiration time when issuing the cookie.
On the client side (jMeter) the straight forward way for managing sessions is by using the CookieManager component. Each thread will have its own session cookie until the end of the test (or until the end of the iteration, if you configure the CookieManager accordingly).
If your test targets a typical web application that uses login forms for user logins, you could login each user (i.e. thread) e.g. by reading credentials from a username/password list in the form of a csv file (see CSV Data Set Config) and posting these credentials to the login form's action URL.
see httpd.conf (in Apache) for information on setting the duration of the session before timeout. This timeout is offset from the last request from a given session.

JMeter Cookie Manager - not storing cookies?

Please VOTE TO CLOSE instead of downvoting. I can't delete the question now that there are answers for it.
I've been playing with JMeter a few days now and I'm starting to get into the steeper part of the learning curve it seems. I've added a login request (i had to put it in a Loop Controller in the Thread Group). I then have a cookie Manager followed by two requests that are made by the browser (according to fiddler) after logging in. These next two requests require a cookie though and they don't seem to be working right now. I've set the Cookie Manager to "compatibility" for Cookie Policy. Then I look at the view results tree and I see that the two requests after login are failing and in the Request tab I see "[no cookies]".
Rather perplexing. Here's a screenshot.
i've modified my login request a bit:
however the next request still fails with a "not logged in" and "forbidden" message:
Not sure as i don't have full test plan but your login request seems to have failed because you get a redirect from http to https in tree result.
As you can see in tree you have 2 samples inside
Login one with http then one i http.
I suggest if you are a beginer to read this :
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf
It will help you build easily yoyr test plan.
I you don't succeed with proxy then I suggest you remove loop controller and test with only one iteration to see what's happening.
You can click on sampler in tree result and select request tab.
Check that your login request is using https, it's in scheme of http sampler.
If it's a redirect that you cannot anticipate, then disable follow redirect and with a regexp post processor:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Regular_Expression_Extractor
extract the url from the redirect and submit it with login and password in next http sampler.

I had to learn a little bit more about the requests being made to the system in order for this to work. Instead of a call to www.server.com/login, i made a request to www.server.com/sessions.json and provided a json file with username and password. doint this set the cookie and the cookie manager took over. Then without modifying the other two requests, everything was honky dory.
Based on the images that you have posted, I found the error.
Cookie manager should be under the scope "Test plan". You have created a Cookie manager with the scope HTTP request.
Please leave the HTTP Cookie Manager with the standard settings. It should work.
