Java function inside __groovy executes but the result is not being assigned to a variable

I'm new to jmeter. I'm executing a java function which encrypts data and I'm trying to assign the output of the function in my Http request body. The function executes and I can see the response in the jmeter console but the value for some reason is not being assigned. Here's what I've tried so far :-

  "key":  "${__groovy(new com.util.EncUtil().encrypt(),)}"

The encrypt function in the EncUtil class encrypts the required data and returns the result. I want to assign this returned value in my Dynamic Http request. What should I change?

If you look into the Function Helper Dialog you'll see that __groovy() function has 2 parameters:

  1. Groovy script to run
  2. Name of variable to store the result

enter image description here

So you can amend your function to look like:

${__groovy(new com.util.EncUtil().encrypt(),encryptedValue)}

Alternative option is using vars shorthand

${__groovy(vars.put('encryptedValue'\, new com.util.EncUtil().encrypt() as String),)}

vars stands for JMeterVariables class instance which provides read/write access to all JMeter Variables in the thread context, check out Top 8 JMeter Java Classes You Should Be Using with Groovy article to learn more about this and other JMeter API shortcuts available for JSR223 Test Elements and __groovy() function.

In both cases you will be able to refer the generated value as ${encryptedValue} later on where required.
