Mixing
Randomize data to send as a request body in Jmeter depending on another set of random data
I'm new at scripting in Jmeter and I've tried some functions. What I'm trying to do here is:
I have a POST request with a customer id as a path variable but I'm randomizing it:
http://endpoint/customers/${__RandomFromMultipleVars(customerId1|customerId2|customerId3, customer_id)}/verify
The line above works, and it is getting a random value among the three customer IDs, the request can result to this:
http://endpoint/customers/6fb5ef21-6b3e-4564-952f-e83df63a9907/verify
customerId1, customerId2, and customerId3 came from the config element: User Define Variables
Now, in the response body, I have this groovy script instead of an actual JSON request body:
${__groovy(
if ("${customer_id}" == "6fb5ef21-6b3e-4564-952f-e83df63a9907") {
} else if ("${customer_id}" == "8f0b21e5-ddf6-42d4-b07e-6da09db6a611") {
} else if ("${customer_id}" == "40aa4f1b-424b-40d2-8213-36a39f5c98b2") {
)}
My question is I don't know if it is possible, but for every if statement, I want to randomize again the request body depending on the customer Id that was set.
I've tried doing:
if ("${customer_id}" == "6fb5ef21-6b3e-4564-952f-e83df63a9907") {
${__RandomFromMultipleVars(resp1|resp2|resp3)}
}
But it resulted to an error. I've tried just returning a simple string:
if ("${customer_id}" == "6fb5ef21-6b3e-4564-952f-e83df63a9907") {
"TEST"
}
And it works, the string "TEST" was used as the request body. I'm really not sure on how to move forward with this. I appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks!

According to JSR223 Sampler documentation:
JMeter processes function and variable references before passing the script field to the interpreter, so the references will only be resolved once. Variable and function references in script files will be passed verbatim to the interpreter, which is likely to cause a syntax error. In order to use runtime variables, please use the appropriate props methods, e.g.
props.get("START.HMS");
props.put("PROP1","1234");
So remember that you should not inline JMeter Functions and/or Variables into Groovy scripts. Instead of accessing variables like ${customer_id} you should be using vars shorthand instead, it stands for JMeterVariables class instance.
If you want to proceed with __groovy() function the syntax you're looking for should be something like:
${__groovy(if (vars.get('customer_id').equals('6fb5ef21-6b3e-4564-952f-e83df63a9907')) { return vars.get('resp' + org.apache.commons.lang3.RandomUtils.nextInt(1, 4))},)}
