How to set path to the file location in the "CSV Data Set Config" if csv.file is located in bitbucket

Question

I want to run Jmeter project in Jenkins. I commited project.jmx and related csv files in bitbucket. How can I set the path to the csv file located in bitbucket

Solution 1

CSV Data Set config will accept

• Absolute path (the complete path like c:\path\to\csv\file.csv)

• Relative path from the test (csvfolder\csvfile.csv)

  csvfolder
       csvfile.csv
  .jmx
  

  Assuming the 'csvfolder' folder is present where you have .jmx

If your folder structure is as given below,

csvfolder
   csvfile
jmxfolder
   jmx

then your CSV file path should be ../csvfolder/csvfile

Solution 2

Not sure about you specific combination, but usually if your files are in the same location you can refer to them by name only.

Let's say

%JMETER_HOME%\jmeter -n -t %LOAD_TESTS_RUNNER_%/_warmup.jmx 
-Jusers=1 -Jrampup=5 -Jloop=2 -JpathToToken=Token.txt

Token.txt is just located in the same directory as *.jmx file.

Optionally, you could use system variables to contain your paths.

Solution 3

Depending on your Bitbucket underlying repository type you can configure Jenkins job to be triggered by commit using

• Jenkins Git Plugin
• Jenkins Mercurial Plugin

So you will be able to refer paths to JMeter .jmx and .csv files just using their names. Or if you prefer full paths - you can use WORKSPACE Jenkins variable like:

• %WORKSPACE% - for MS Windows Family
• $WORKSPACE - for Linux/Unix/MacOSX
