JMeter - request executes only once but doesn't pass an extracted JSON variable

I'm having some trouble with my JMeter test in regards to passing a variable to other requests in the same thread group.

I have 3 requests and one of them is a login request that is only executed once while other 2 requests are looping for one hour. The other 2 requests need to receive a variable 'access token' that is extracted from a login request response in order for them to return a status 200 response.

However, I notice in request header for those 2 requests that the variable 'access token' is not sent in the header although I receive that variable in login request response, extract it with JSON extractor and then send it in the request header.

This my test plan structure:

This is how I extract the variable from the login request:

...and this is how I send the 'access token' variable in request header for other 2 requests:

Everything worked fine until I added the If controller that executes the login request only once and I use this statement in If controller:

${__groovy(ctx.getThreadNum() == 0 &&  vars.getIteration() == 1,)}

The login request executes correctly and the 'access token' variable is located in the header response.

I can't figure it out, why doesn't variable gets passed to the other two requests?

Different threads don't share same JMeter variables as accessToken

So you need to saved value in JMeter property, for example add JSR223 Sampler

 props.put("accessToken",vars.get("accessToken"));

And change your header value to get from JMeter property:

${__P(accessToken)}

vars - JMeterVariables - e.g.

vars.get("VAR1");

props - JMeterProperties (class java.util.Properties) - e.g.

props.put("PROP1","1234");
