Jmeter - illegal use of undefined variable using Calendar

I need to calculate some dates in jmeter, so I created a BeanShell Pre Processor in my test structure:

  1. Thread Group
    • Cache Manager
    • Cookie Manager
    • HTTP Header
    • HTTP Manager
    • IF controller (if the user could login)
    • BeanShell Pre Processor

And my code it's like:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

try {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    SimpleDateFormat df= new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'hh:mm:ssX");
    long startTime = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
    long endTime = Long.parseLong(vars.get("dateMiliseconds")); 
    randomStartDate = df.format(startTime + (long)(Math.random()*(endTime-startTime)));
    randomEndDate = randomTime1 + (long)(Math.random()*(endTime - randomTime1)+86400000);
    log.warn("startDate: "+randomStartDate+ " endDate: "+randomEndDate);
    vars.put("RandomStartDate", randomStartDate);
    vars.put("RandomEndDate", randomEndDate); 
} catch (Exception e) {
    log.warn("The error is: "+e);
    throw e;
}

However when I ran the test Jmeter error says:

ERROR - jmeter.util.BeanShellInterpreter: Error invoking bsh method: eval Sourced file: inline evaluation of: import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Calendar; try{ Calendar ca . . . : illegal use of undefined variable, class, or 'void' literal

WARN - jmeter.modifiers.BeanShellPreProcessor: Problem in BeanShell script org.apache.jorphan.util.JMeterException: Error invoking bsh method: eval Sourced file: inline evaluation of: import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Calendar; try{ Calendar ca . . .: illegal use of undefined variable, class, or 'void' literal

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Your randomTime1 is not defined anywhere, it need to have some value.

Also it is better to use public final void warn(String message, Throwable throwable) method - this way you will be able to see the full stacktrace in jmeter.log file.

And finally, for performance perspective it's better to use either __time(), __longSum() and __Random() functions combination or consider moving to JSR223 PreProcessor and groovy language if you want to stick to scripting
