JMeter Script Path missing “\” so not working?

I am trying to use the beanshell script posted here to get the path of the jmx that is being run in my jmeter test - Access to JMeter script path

It is working and if I log the output of the path when set by beanshell or view the variables with the debugger I get the path to the script displayed as I expected -

c:\my\path\to\script

but when I then try to pass that variable into sendKeys, the slashes "\" are being removed so -

c:mypathtoscript

And this doesn't work so I am unable to attach/upload my file..

Sure I am missing something stupid

Thanks

try escaping the backward slashes. – Kevin Kloet
Hi Kevin, How can I do that? the path is being generated by the beanshell script that is posted in the link... – Karl
i don't know how you would escape the generated path, but use either double backslash to escape a backslash or a forward slash if you can modify it before it gets passed to your sendKeys variable. – Kevin Kloet
please share the BeanShell code and how you are passing the value of JMeter absolute path – Naveen Kumar R B
I have a UDV called "homepath" with a value of "${__BeanShell(import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer; FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir();)}${__BeanShell(File.separator,)}" and I am calling the variable using ${homepath}, debug shows it with single backslash, and these are being removed when webdriver runs.. – Karl

Needed to user vars.put to put the JMeter UDV value into a Javascript variable, then use javascript concatenate to link it all together.

There are at least 2 ways to get this done without using Beanshell:

  1. Call FileServer methods from WebDriver Sampler:

    someElement.sendKeys(org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir())

  2. Get the value from JMeterVariables

    var vars = org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterContextService.getContext().getVariables()
someElement.sendKeys(vars.get('homepath'))

Example full code:

WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart()
WDS.browser.get('http://ya.ru')
var searchInput = WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.id('text'))

//directly access function from JavaScript
searchInput.sendKeys(org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir())

//alternative way - getting the value from JMeter Variables
var vars = org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterContextService.getContext().getVariables()
searchInput.sendKeys(vars.get('homepath'))

WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd()
