Parse csv as json using Groovy dynamically in Jmeter

I have csv

name,capital,zone,code,address,city,zip,state,phone,email
Test City,false,America,us,Address line 2,New York,10002,NY,(+1) 111-111-1112,[email protected]

What I do

import groovy.json.JsonBuilder

def json = new JsonBuilder()

json {
    name vars.get("name")
    capital vars.get("capital")
    zone vars.get("zone")
    code vars.get("code")
     address vars.get("address")
     city vars.get("city")
     zip vars.get("zip")
     state vars.get("state")
     phone vars.get("phone")
     email vars.get("email")
}

sampler.addNonEncodedArgument("",json.toPrettyString(),"")
sampler.setPostBodyRaw(true)

But csv could consist with multiple amount of rows and not every time a need all rows from csv

So, I need some variable which will be set some counter for loop, read counter=rows from csv and return me JSON

Try to found solution here, but always have troubles with syntax while Im noob in Groovy(

As result, it should be 1 request, 1 payload, with multiple items=rows from csv

Convert the CSV to a list of maps & pass it to JsonBuilder

You need to grab the CSV field names, from the header, then iterate through the CSV data lines.

In the exampe below I convert each line to a map then push the map into a list. i.e. the list will contain one map for each non-header row. If you have 10 lines + a header then the list will contain 10 maps.

After that it's easy, as JsonBuilder can create Json from a list of maps.

import groovy.json.JsonBuilder

File csv = new File( 'ParseCsvAsJson.csv')

def lines = csv.readLines()

def header = lines[0]
def fieldNames = header.split(/,[ ]*/)
def mappedLines = []

lines[1..-1].each { line ->
  def mappedLine = [:]
  def fields = line.split(/,[ ]*/)

  fields.eachWithIndex { value, index -> 
    String name = fieldNames[ index ]
    mappedLine[ name ] = value
  }
  mappedLines << mappedLine
}

def builder = new JsonBuilder()
builder {
  json builder( mappedLines )
}

println builder.toPrettyString()

You won't be able to achieve this using CSV Data Set Config, you will have to parse the CSV file programmatically, something like:

def rows = 2 // how many rows you need to collect from the CSV

def entries = []
1.upto(rows, { index ->
    def values = new File('/path/to/your/file.csv').readLines().get(index).split(',')
    def entry = [:]
    entry.put('name', values[0])
    entry.put('capital', values[1])
    entry.put('zone', values[2])
    entry.put('code', values[3])
    entry.put('address', values[4])
    entry.put('city', values[5])
    entry.put('zip', values[6])
    entry.put('state', values[7])
    entry.put('phone', values[8])
    entry.put('email', values[9])
    entries.add(entry)
})

def json = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder(entries)
