Using response value in the next request url path in jmeter

Question

I am stuck in jmeter. I want an value extracted from the Response body and use that in the next request url path in jmeter. I tried using "Regular expressions" but it is not working. Response body SS

From "Response body SS" i want to extract the locationID value(341735)

Request URL PATH

Use the extracted value in the url path at highlighted section. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

1. Add XPath Extractor as a child of the request which returns this "Response body SS"

2. Configure it as follows:

   • Name of created variable: anything meaningful, i.e. locationID
   • XPath query: /response/locationID

   • Match No: 1

     

3. That's it, the XPath Extractor will get the value and you will be able to use it as ${locationID} where required
