The response data in my test has this line:
<head><title>
My Title
</title><meta charset
I checked this regex in the inbuilt regex tester in Jmeter and it found the title.
(?m)(?is)<title>\n\tMy Title\n</title>
However, when I use it as a response assertion, the assertion always fails.
I have tried all settings in "Apply to" section. "Text Response" is selected for "Response Field to Test". I selected "Contains" for "Pattern Matching Rules".
I have a very similar issue with a regular expression extractor as well - the selected expression passes in the tester, but fails with regular expression extractor.
I believe it may have something to do with the multi-line nature of the response.
Any pointers?
try use:
(?<=<title>\s*)(\S.+\S)(?=\s*</title>) for find any title
(?<=<title>\s*)(My Title)(?=\s*</title>) for find 'My title'
Try the following:
Regular Expression: <title>(.+?)</title>
Template: $1$
Match: 1
Try to use xpath instead.
Use expression like //title/text() along with XPath Extractor - to extract title value, - and expression like //title[text()='My Title'] along with XPath Assertion.
In both the cases you have to ensure that that Use Tidy (tolerant parser) option is CHECKED - since you are parsing HTML (not XML!..) response.

I have nonce=nmjs7avwT1& in the response body.
I want only the nmjs7avwT1 part from above for the next request.
How can I write a regular expression for this?
Add Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the request which returns this nonce
Configure it as follows:
Name of created variable: anything meaningful, i.e. nonce
Regular Expression: nonce=(\w+)&
Template: $1$
That's it, you should be able to refer the extracted value as ${nonce} where required.

I am getting a result in my jmeter test that I don't understand:
I am trying to extract the "totalRunning" value from this Json response:
{"notifications":[],"taskNotificationInfo":{"totalRunning":0,"totalCompleted":0,"totalCompletedWithErrors":0,"totalFailed":0,"totalPending":0,"requestTime":1458628767436,"hasRecords":false}}
My regex is configured as following:
Reference Name: TotalRunning
Regular Expression: "totalRunning":"(.+?)"
Template: $1$
Match: 1
Default Value: 1
screen shot:
I keep getting the default value instead of "0" in this case.
Am I extracting it from the wrong place?
Any help would be appreciated.
There is no problem with your regex totalRunning":(.+?),"totalCompleted"
only you need to select radio button Body instead of Body As a Document
refer snapshot:-
Change your regular expression as below:
Regular Expression: "totalRunning":(\d+)
In the question "totalRunning":"(.+?)" is being used as regular expression. Since values of totalRunning is not surrounded by quotes. So none was being matched and default value is being picked.
Below regex can also be used:
"totalRunning":(.+?),
Change your "Field to check" to "Body" as "Body as a document" is for binary files like Word, Excel, PDF, etc. see How to Extract Data From Files With JMeter article for more details. JSON is a usual text so it should be treated as "normal" response.
Also there is a special Post Processor - JSON Path Extractor available via JMeter Plugins project. In case of complex JSON, multiple or conditional matches, etc. it might be better and easier to use it.
The relevant JSONPath expression will be: $..totalRunning[0]
In my Jmeter testing, I have a HTTP request which gives me Response data:
{"sessionid":"2da1c436-5ecf-4ce3-b908-705d9b3ed2a0","status":"successful"}
I have added a Regular Expression Extractor with following info:
Apply to: Main Sample only
Field to Check: Body
Reference Name: data1
Regular expression: "status":”(.+?)”
Template: $1$
Match No: 0
Default Value: REGEX_FAILED
However I never get ${data1} equal to successful (even though it is). It always gives me REGEX_FAILED. What am I doing wrong?
I see some odd quotes in your pattern:
Regular expression: "status":”(.+?)”
shouldn't that be:
Regular expression: "status":"(.+?)"
?
After a Successful Login my page contains a Tab "Offers".Link is provided below I want to know how Regex can extract it.
a href="/Offers/OfferApproval"> Offers<a/>
This is required regex for extracting /Offers/OfferApproval value,
href="(.+)"> Offers<a/>
Use Regular expression post processor.
I want to find a specific number from a HTML response.
For example, I want to extract 3 from publicationID3publicationID.
Does someone know a solution with regexp?
Add Regular Expression Extractor Post Processor as a child of the request, which returns to you this string.
Configure it as follows:
Reference Name: publicationID (you can use any variable name here)
Regular Expression: publicationID(\d+)publicationID
Template: $1$
other fields can be left blank.
You can later refer publication ID as ${publicationID} or ${__V(publicationID)}
You can see what matches does your Regular Expression return using View Results Tree Listener (select RegExp Tester from dropdown). Another option is Debug Sampler again with combination with View Results Tree.
you can use \d to match a number using regex.
