Using user defined variables in the path of a results file in JMeter

I want to write a results CSV file in JMeter which contains a variable in path of the file I write.

E.g.

C:\\Users\\User1\\test-results\\${output}.csv

But I only seem to be able to use predefined variables like ${__time(ddMMyyHHmmss)}

Is there a way to use user defined variables in the path? I have successfully done this to find input files by defining the variable in the test plan node as a User Defined Variable.

In JMeter 3.1(?) (or Windows?) a double slash is required in the path.

I have used the following successfully:

  • c:\\jmeter\\results\\${testId}\MyReport.csv
  • c:\\jmeter\\results\\${testId}\MyReport.csv
  • c:\\jmeter\\results\\${__time(yyyyMMddHHmm)}\MyReport.csv
  • c:\\jmeter\\results\\${__time(yyyyMMddHHmm)}.csv

${testId} is a User Defined Variable configured in the Test Plan and set to ${__time(yyyyMMddHHmm)}

User defined variable

Double slash in file name

I managed to use user defined variable in the path of result file using JMeter 2.9. REPORT is a user defined variable with value REPORT. It gives me file named REPORT.csv
