JMeter is skipping first row of data in CSV file

I have a script that is reading data from a CSV file but it's skipping the first row of data. The file is basically a header with data below. ex: 1. Case 2. 234235245 3. 256745673

What's happening when I use the variable ${Case}, is it's pulling Line 3 then Line 4 and so on rather than starting with Line 2. I have Recycle on EOF set to true so it's getting Line 2 after reading through the rest of the file but it should be getting Line 2 first.

  • CSV Data Set Config
  • Filename: ${FileLoc}
  • File Enconding: blank
  • File Enconding: blank
  • Variable Names (comma-delimited): blank
  • Ignore first line (only used if Variable Names is not empty): False
  • Delimiter (user '\t' for tab: ,
  • Allow quoted data?: False
  • Recycle on EOF?: True
  • Stop thread on EOF?: False
  • Sharing mode: All threads

Any help is appreciated. I searched for an answer but the things I found were either caused by some custom coding or referring to skipping the header data which is working correctly for me as I have the Variable Names field blank.

Turns out that the issue was a user error (I'm the user haha). I had the file in the correct place (inside a loop) and the incorrect place (outside a loop).

I had been doing some troubleshooting and was copying the file to different places to see if it was part of the issue. When I went back to my original-ish setup and re-enabled the file in the first location, I forgot to disable the file in the other location.
