Jmeter - Usage of item based on the condition

Question

I have defined multiple countries at user defined variables as list:

Then in another sample i use specific country as ex: PL

What is the easiest way, based of the usage of specific country, to enter in the loop?

I know with ${__groovy(vars.get("countries") == "AR")} is possible to compare with 1 country, but how can i compare extracted country with all the countries in the list?

Answer 1

If you need to iterate all the countries it's better to go for the ForEach Controller, in this case you need to transform the countries variable into the following pattern:

• country_1=PL
• country_2=PT
• country_3=RO
• etc.

If you're looking for a Groovy code to do the conversion:

1. Add JSR223 Sampler at the place where you need to "enter the loop"

2. Put the following code into "Script" area:

   vars.get('countries').trim().split(' ').eachWithIndex { country, index ->
       vars.put('country_' + ++index, country.trim())
   }
   

3. Add ForEach Controller after the JSR223 Sampler and configure it like:

   

4. That's it, you should be able to iterate all the countries, defined in the countries variable
