I am new to Jmeter. I tried to send an HTTP request but the HTTP response showed "cookie is blocked"
enter image description here
I tried to create the HTTP Cookie Manager and set the cookie policy as Compatibility but doesn't work.
and also tried to set CookieManager.save.cookies=true in JMeter.properties file, but both don't work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
If this is a very first request - no cookies are involved, most probably the application you're testing tries to set a cookie via JavaScript and not using Set-Cookie header
As per Apache JMeter project main page:
JMeter is not a browser, it works at protocol level. As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers. In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages. Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does (it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever displayed at a time).
So you need to inspect the page, you're opening using browser developer tools and if the cookies are being created/set by JavaScript - you will need to replicate the same logic using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language, check out Modifying Cookies in JMeter with Groovy article for more details.

Firstly, I did add the line CookieManager.check.cookies=false to jmeter.properties.
What I'm Trying to Do
I want to add a cookie to a request's existing cookies.
For example, I see the request has [edited]:
Cookie Data:
c1=sfasfsfsfsfs; c2=erqwerqwrr; c3=poiuopiupoi
Expected Results
I would like it to have:
Cookie Data:
c1=sfasfsfsfsfs; c2=erqwerqwrr; c3=poiuopiupoi; partner=favicon.ico
Here is what I tried:
BASE_URL_2 is a variable defined in the form qa.company.com.
Actual Results
Whatever I have tried so far has not made any change in the cookies.
What else shall I try?
Underlying Motivation
Recorded a Web session and played it back.
Added a RegEx Extractor to pull out a token and then added it to subsequent requests. That helped.
However, certain requests failed with an custom application exception Security violation, please refresh.
Probably session login state is not being passed, so the website thinks the call is "stale".
I've seen this on the GUI when the session expires and you try to click a button on the site.
On comparing the cookies seem in JMeter with what I saw in the Chrome Debugger, it was clear that there were more cookies in the running application than what I had in JMeter.
Are you sure you're using HTTPS protocol because if you have secure flag and using HTTP protocol - the cookie will not be sent.
Also remove = from partner= otherwise you will end up with partner==favicon.ico

HTTP Cookie Manager Advanced Usage - A Guide
I am new to jmeter. I record my script using blazemeter chrome plugin. Now in login I am getting Cookies are required Cookies are disabled on your browser. please enable cookies and refresh this page I have set CookieManager.save.cookies=true but no luck .
As per JMeter project main page:
JMeter is not a browser, it works at protocol level. As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers.

Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does (it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever displayed at a time).
So if your page is using JavaScript in order to check user cookies there is no way to bypass this message, it means that you can just ignore it.
However if you cannot proceed further it means that JMeter doesn't send necessary Cookie header so make sure to add HTTP Cookie Manager to your test plan.
If you added the HTTP Cookie Manager but still seeing that the real browser sends cookies and JMeter doesn't (or sends partial) most probably it means that your server returns malformed or expired cookies and you need to raise a defect for your application.
And last but not the least, if you have to live with these malformed/broken cookies and still need to log in you can go for the following workarounds:
Change "Implementation" of the HTTP Cookie Manager to something less restrictive, i.e. netscape
Add the next line to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation:
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
Increase JMeter logging verbosity for the HTTP Cookie Manager by adding the next line to log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control" level="debug" />
this way you will be able to figure out what's wrong with the cookies
And last but not the least you can always manually extract cookies from the Set-Cookie response header using i.e. Regular Expression Extractor and again manually add them to the HTTP Cookie Manager or HTTP Header Manager
I want to know when I'm using IE8 open a website (like www.yahoo.com), which API will be called by IE8? so I can hook these API to capture which website that IE8 opening currently.
When you enter a URL into the browser, the browser (usually) makes an HTTP request to the server identified by the URL. To make the request, the IP address of the server is required, which is obtained by a DNS lookup of the host (domain) name.
Once the response -- usually containing HTML markup -- is received, the browser renders it to display the webpage.
More details available here: what happens when you type in a URL in browser
So, in the general case, no "API" request as such is made. (Technically speaking, you can think of the original HTTP request to the server as an API request). The sort of "API" request you presumably mean, however, is not made in this general case just described. Those requests happens when the JavaScript executing on the page makes an Ajax HTTP request (XmlHttpRequest) to the web server to carry out some operation.
I am not sure about IE8, but the "developer tools" feature of most modern browsers (including IE9 and IE10), would let you see the Ajax HTTP requests that the webpage made as it carried out different operations.
Hope this helps.
IE uses Microsoft's WinSock library API to interact with web servers.
You may want to look for a network monitoring/sniffing API, which you could use to examine HTTP requests, and determine the URLs the browser is using.
I build up very simple test plan.
Login: POST, a session cookie is returned.
Get the state: GET, a user state is returned.
Create a resource: POST, JSON body is supplied for the resource.
So my 'Test Plan' looks like:
Test Plan
Thread Group
HTTP Request Defaults
HTTP Cookie Manager
Login (HTTP Request Sampler: POST)
Get State (HTTP Request Sampler: GET)
Create Resource (HTTP Request Sampler: POST)
The cookie generated by 'Login' is added to 'Get State' correctly.
But 'Create Resource' has NO cookie. I changed their order but it doesn't help.
I used the default options firstly and changed some options but it also doesn't help.
Is it a bug of JMeter? or just POST http request is not able to have cookie?
Please give me any advice.
[SOLVED]
I noticed that it is related to the path, not the method.
You'd like to look at the domain of the cookie as well as the path.
I mean, the path and the domain of a cookie could be defined in the server side through Set-Cookie header.
Another solution is to set CookieManager.check.cookies=false in jmeter.properties usually sitting besides the jmeter startup script in bin.
JMeter for some reasons thinks that you can't set the path=/something in a cookie if you are on http:/somesite/somethingelse. That is the path has to match the path your currently on.
I've never seen a browser enforce this limitation if it actually exists. I've seen and written several sites that use this technique to set a secure cookie and then forward someone say to /admin.
I wish this option was at least in the GUI so I didn't have to change the properties file. I think BlazeMeter is smart enough to turn off checking where flood.io is not. If it were up to me I'd just remove the code that checks this entirely. Why make the load tester any harder then it needs to be.
I had this turned on in my Spring Boot server which was causing the issue with CookieManager in jMeter:
server.servlet.session.cookie.secure=true
Removing this made the cookies flow ! Of course this is for localhost. For Production you may need this turned on.
I am trying to find how to issue a call to the following restful service from JMeter:
#DELETE
#Path("/user")
void removeUser(String userId);
There are plenty examples on POST, GET, but I cannot find one for delete. Specifically, I cannot find a way to pass a parameter for "userId".
Thanks
You could use #RequestParam or #PathVariable to bind the userId . You don't find many tutorial on Delete since it is not supported in earlier versions of HTML . Read this blog for more info . This is usually achieved through a hidden parameter .
Read this post Are the PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc methods available in most web browsers? for more info .
Have you tried to record that request using jMeter Proxy?
Simply:
Add > Logic Controller > Recording Controller to your Test Plan
Add > Non-test elements > Http Proxy Server to your WorkBench
As Target controller choose your Recording controller
Set your browser proxy settings to point to your jMeter machine (usually your localhost) on standard port 8080
Click Start button at the bottom of your Http Proxy Server component
Fire that delete request in your browser
Immediately after submitting the request, stop the Http Proxy Server (to avoid recording other junk, usually ajax/refresh requests from other opened tabs)
See what jMeter recorded
Use the recorded sampler(s) to build your real test
Details here.
Aha, OK, than maybe you can link (bypass a web app) jMeter with Spring by using jMeter's jUnit Sampler to fire your jUnit test cases directly.
More here: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/junitsampler_tutorial.pdf
Also, take a look here how a guy tried to write a custom jMeter Sampler that was supposed to mimic Spring's HttpInvoker (HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean).
