JMeter CSV Data for filename

With JMeter files can be sent successfully

Config: enter image description here

Output (success): enter image description here

But it doesn't work if changing the file name to a variable. Attended images you will find file path is set to ${logname}, which can be resolved correctly, but the content-length is incorrect.

After changing the file name to the variable, the http will response error message, saying "java.io.FileNotFoundException: ulog_5b9139cf-5542-42dc-ae76-7fde3a61c67b_235152af-feb7-4249-a168-12ed4abb426c_0.log (The system cannot find the file specified)".

I think the incorrect content-length led to server fail to read the file content. Is is right? How to fix it? Thanks.

JMeter is looking for the file in it's Base Dir.

If you look into your jmeter.log file you'll see something like:

2014/03/05 15:52:37 INFO  - jmeter.services.FileServer: Default base='/home/jmeter' 
2014/03/05 15:52:37 INFO  - jmeter.services.FileServer: Set new base='/home/jmeter'

This is where JMeter expects file to be located.

So you can either prefix your ${logname} variable with full path to your user's Desktop like

C:\Users\youruser\Desktop\${logname}

Or alternatively change location where JMeter is looking for files via Beahshell Pre Processor as follows:

import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer;
FileServer.getFileServer().setBaseDir("C:/Users/youruser/Desktop");

But use it with caution as it may have impact on other relative paths.
