How to Extract Multiple “View State” (almost 50) f

Question

How to Extract Multiple "View State" (almost 50) from the Response effectively and in a simple way other than using the regular expression extractor

Step:

1. I basically have a page which contains almost 50 "viewstate" which needs to be fed to the next request, to process.Is there any method by which i can extract this effectively other than using 50 variables in regular expression extractor.

Any help would be really appreciable.

Can we regular expression extractor by setting "Match No" as "-1" and use same variable name set in the reg expression extractor and use it in sampler? Also could anyone please tell how to set the variable name too ?

Answer 1

My expectation is that VIEWSTATE is a hidden input so you can automate handling of this VIEWSTATE parameters like:

1. Add CSS Selector Extractor to fetch hidden inputs names like:

   

2. Add another CSS Selector Extractor to fetch hidden inputs values like:

   

3. Add JSR223 PreProcessor as a child of the next request and put the following code into "Script" area:

   1.upto(vars.get('hiddenInputName_matchNr') as int, { index ->
       def hiddenInputName = vars.get('hiddenInputName_' + index)
       if (hiddenInputName.startsWith('__VIEWSTATE')) {
           sampler.addArgument(hiddenInputName, vars.get('hiddenInputValue_' + index))
       }
   })
   

   

4. That's it, the JSR223 PreProcessor should add all the VIEWSTATE parameters to the request in the runtime.
