There r some cookies like _ga, jsessionid etc which are part of jmeter recording script but when i replay script these cookies are not handled by cookie manager. How can i send these values in jmeter request . Also i m unable to corelate these cookies . I guess client side js is responsible for sending these cookies.
I m completely blocked. Please help.
JMeter's HTTP Cookie Manager stores valid cookies which are coming in Set-Cookie response header, the invalid ones are being discarded.
You can inspect what's going on there by adding/uncommenting the next line in log4j2.xml file
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control" level="debug" />
If you see the evidence that cookies are detected but not stored you can try the following:
Set Cookie Policy to something less restrictive, i.e. netscape
Add the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.check.cookies=true

I have to extract cookie data from request body of a HTTP Request. Please guide me how can i achieve that.
Cookies are not passed in request body.
From server to browser they come in Set-Cookie header
From browser to server they go in Cookie header
See Using HTTP cookies article for more details.
In JMeter there is a special test element - HTTP Cookie Manager. It automatically extracts cookies from the server response, stores them internally and if domain and path of the next request match - the cookie(s) are added to the Cookie header of the next request.
In case you want to access the values of cookies which are stored in the HTTP Cookie Manager anywhere else - you can add CookieManager.save.cookies=true property to user.properties file and upon JMeter restart cookies will be saved into JMeter Variables with COOKIE_ prefix
I am now using Jmeter to prepare a test plan for my web. The rough flow of the script is that I can check my profile after login. I tried to run my recorded script, and found that the cookie is encoded in http format which I don't want it to be.
Therefore, I would like to ask is there anyway so that I can have a not encrypted cookie value?
[I applied a cookie manager in the script.
The value of the cookie now is something like "%22mh8eIAH8rfsZsM3r%22".
The value that I want is something like "mh8eIAH8rfsZsM3r"]
%22 means " which is percent-encoded, if you want to decode it back - take a look at __urldecode() function:
In general you should not be recording any cookies, you need to add a HTTP Cookie Manager and JMeter will automatically extract incoming cookies from Set-Cookie response header and add them to the next request as Cookie header if domain and path match the ones in the cookie, it's not expired, etc
If you need to access the cookie value as a JMeter Variable the easiest way is adding the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
and upon JMeter restart you will be able to use the cookie value as ${COOKIE_your-cookie-name-here}

For the purpose of my test, I need to send Cookie within the request like bellow.
If I try to do it with Header manager, cookies are ignored
I cant see them into the Request Headers where I need to see them.
Is there any way, how I can send Cokie into the reqest?
Note: Using Cokie managers is not working for me.
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
Are set up into the user.variables.
Using Jmeter 5.4.3
You're looking at wrong place, the cookies are displayed under Request -> Request Body tabs of the View Results Tree listener
So you might want to check your HTTP Cookie Manager setup, it might be the case it's "working". If it doesn't - there might be a problem with the cookies returned by your application, i.e. it's expired, domain mismatch, path mismatch, etc.
In that case you need to raise a bug for your application or change the implementation of the HTTP Cookie Manager to something less restrictive i.e. netscape
You can see what's going on under the hood with the cookies by increasing JMeter logging verbosity for the HTTP Cookie Manager.
Add the next line to log4j2.xml file
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control" level="debug" />
and upon JMeter restart re-run your test and take a look at jmeter.log file, you should see the incoming cookies and whether they're going to be added to the next request or not.
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. 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 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
