JMeter - Using Variables from other BeanShell Pre/Post-Processors?

Question

Is there a way to reference a variable from one BeanShell Pre/Post-Processor to another BeanShell Processor (they are within the same Thread Group)?

If I create a String variable inside a BeanShell PreProcessor under an HTTP Request, can I then use or reference that variable inside a BeanShell PostProcessor under that same HTTP Request..?

I tried Accessing this variable in the following ways:

    + HTTP Request
       + BeanShell PreProcessor:

String preProcessor1_MYID = "Value_1";

       + BeanShell PostProcessor:

String postProcessor1_MYID = "Value_2";
//Try #1:
String tmp_preProcessor1_MYID = preProcessor1_MYID;
//Try #2:
String tmp_preProcessor1_MYID = ${preProcessor1_MYID};
//Try #3:
String tmp_preProcessor1_MYID = ${__V(preProcessor1_MYID)};
//Try #4:
String tmp_preProcessor1_MYID = vars.get("preProcessor1_MYID");

Is there a different function like ${__V()} or vars.get(), that I'm missing that I'm supposed to be using? I was also wondering if I needed a User Defined Variables object in order to share this variable between BeanShell Pre/PostProcessors but I wasn't sure. I also read about the ${__BeanShell()} function, but didn't think that was what I was looking for either... Any ideas? I would assume this should be possible, but was hoping I didn't need to add anything like the User-Defined Vars object.

Any thoughts or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt

Answer 1

If you need to use the value in other elements later,

store it in a vairable

vars.put("myvar", "value");

Now you can access it using

${myvar}

or in beanshell

vars.get("myvar").

• You can also go for user defined variables, properties (share among thread groups).
• Check this - it is also another option. - jMeter - Beanshell bsh.shared hashmap data in init file?
