I am trying to get the cookies from a GET request when I first access a website via HTTP Request, there are a number of suggestions that suggest using user.properties files e.t.c. but I do not actually have these available as I am using the jMeter GUI to build the tests and it doesn't create these files.
Is there a way of getting the cookies from the header without the user.properties. Or if not, please could I request some detail as to how to achieve creating a user.properties file e.t.c. as I am very very new to jMeter.
Thanks in advance
For a simple caching you just need to add to Test Plan HTTP Cookie Manager and HTTP cookie(s) will be added.
user.properties is used for specific cases, and it is already exists in your JMeter bin folder in case you will need to update it.

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.
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
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.

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.
I have been struggling with Jenkins lately, and I'm stuck because I wanna send some parameters through HTTP Post, and I know how to do it, but the thing is that I am saving a Http request response to a file in my workspace, and then I want to use that file, read it and send the text I saved previously to a new HTTP Request, does anyone have any idea how can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance!!!
Install copy artifacts from another project plugin ( copy artifacts) add in build steps store the file in your workspace then you can run a shell script to read the desired content from that file .
if curl would work, that would be a simple way to send a file's contents as your POST body. see this answer.
Jenkins can work with Jmeter and Jmeter is great tool for handling request and response see tutorial
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.
