I am trying to upload a file using jmeter on the front end. There are three files that are need to be uploaded and then the Submit button will be enabled. Is there any way to it through jmeter?
I am able to do it from the back end. But i want to use the URL of the website through Jmeter in order to do performance testing of the website.
As per very main page of the Apache JMeter project:
JMeter is not a browser.
As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers. In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages. Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does (it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever viewed at a time).
So JMeter won't check the status of the "Submit" button, it acts on protocol level and will send the corresponding request in any case.
In regards to the File Upload bit itself. You can do it with HTTP Request sampler, just make sure:
You use POST (in some cases it can be PUT) method
Use multipart/form-data for POST box is checked
In Files Upload section the following values are provided:
File Path (either absolute or relative to JMeter's "bin" folder)
Parameter Name (form name which contains <input type="file" ... tag, you can figure that out from upload page source code)
File MIME Type
Actually the easiest way to build a file upload request is just recording it, see Recording File Uploads with JMeter guide for more details.
Steps to perform:
Add HTTP Request in TestPlan
Select the post/put method
Type in the PATH
Select use multipart/form-data
Under the File Upload tab, enter the file path, Parameter Name, and MimeType.
MIME Type examples: image/jpeg, image/png, text/plain
Save and run the test.

As per JMeter project main page:
JMeter is not a browser, it works at protocol level. As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers); however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers.

Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does (it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever displayed at a time).
Assuming above:
JMeter won't execute any JavaScript hence it won't generate any traffic connected with AJAX requests
If JavaScript call doesn't generate a HTTP Request - you don't need to worry about it as it runs only on the client side
If JMeter doesn't record anything - first of all check jmeter.log file for any suspicious entries. The most common reasons are:
people forget to import JMeter's certificate into their browser, see HTTPS recording and certificates chapter of HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder user manual entry for more details
people fail to configure browser properly, i.e. Firefox cannot record local traffic unless you set network.proxy.allow_hijacking_localhost property to true
Also be aware of an alternative way of recording a JMeter test: JMeter Chrome Extension. In this case you don't need to worry about proxies and certificates, just follow your test scenario steps in your browser and in the end you will be able to export the recorded script in form of JMeter .jmx test plan
I'm busy setting up a load test for file upload in moodle and I am struggling with the file upload. It seems to be losing the sesskey when it gets to the uploading of the file.
Here is the error message from the response data:
"{"error":"A required parameter (sesskey) was missing","errorcode":"missingparam","stacktrace":null,"debuginfo":null,"reproductionlink":null}".
Please help, this test needs to be done in the next 2 days.
Thank you in advance.
I extracted the sesskey using the Regular Expression Extractor and this worked for downloading a file and taking a quiz in moodle but for file upload it loses the session.
Just record the file upload event using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, the only thing you will need to do is to copy the file(s) you will be uploading to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation prior to starting the file upload in the browser, this way JMeter will be able to properly capture the request and generate the relevant HTTP Request sampler and HTTP Header Manager
See Recording File Uploads with JMeter article for more details.
Once you have recorded "skeleton" you can correlate the dynamic values like sesskey
I have a zipped file containing images which I am sending as response to a python REST API call. I want to create a rest application which consumes the python rest api in this manner: The response's content should be extracted without downloading (in browser side) and all the images should be displayed to the user. Is this possible? If yes, could you please help me in the implementation? I am unable to find help anywhere.
I think what you are trying to do is have a backend server (python) where zip files of images are hosted. You need to create an application (that could be in react) that

In my current project we are using lighttpd server. Here I am trying to upload the file. I am getting two Response Headers, first is with 301 Status code (Moved Permanently) and second is with 200 (OK).
But when I am checking in the folder I am not able to find any file (I mean no file uploaded).
I have tried both way to upload file as given links below:
http://jsfiddle.net/danialfarid/0mz6ff9o/135/
ngFileUpload
https://jsfiddle.net/JeJenny/ZG9re/
In both way I am getting the same response.
So here I have some sort of questions:
1) Is file upload is possible using AngularJS only? (No Server Side Script)
2) If possible, Is there any config problem with lighttpd?
Thanks !
Need Help...
The server side (or any web server) must be configured to handle POST and PUT requests. CGI, FastCGI, SCGI scripts can be written, or you can proxy to another backend. For simple file uploads, lighttpd also provides mod_webdav which you can configure (and protect with mod_auth) to allow you to upload files without having to write any server-side code.

Executing this code in Safari doesn't work, but it works in chrome and firefox:
var pathToFile = path.resolve('./scripts', file);
element( by.css('input[ng-file-select="onFileSelect($files)"]')).sendKeys(pathToFile);
In digging around it looks like it's not possible to interact with file inputs in this way in Protractor running on Safari. Does anyone know of a workaround in Safari to put a file path in an input?
This is due to a leaky abstraction, which requires a Safari specific solution:
I guess the workaround for those that really want to do file upload for SafariDriver would be not to do it natively via SafariDriver but by using external code libraries to perform the upload via HTTP/HTTPS (POST) requests (combining any other form data in addition to the file being uploaded/sent), then get response and check whether upload succeeded or not, then go back to SafariDriver code and navigate to next page to check upload succeeded or not, and/or to continue from there for the next steps in the automation.
This approach would be similar to the file download method using HTTP requests externally that has been mentioned in various posts in WebDriver and Selenium user Google groups. Here, it's just the inverse, doing upload instead of download.
Though if the upload requires a session (cookie), then you can extract Selenium session cookie and use with HTTP request. Or if session is stored with session ID in URL, extract that and pass along with HTTP request.
