Problems with reading from CSV in while condition in JMeter

Question

With different users I need to log to the same page and with every user I need to send same requests which contain some numbers that I have stored in CSV file (001, 002, 003) in every column one number for exmp. I got 3 users in name.surname.a1, name surname.a2, name.surname.a3 Each if them after log in should send requests with id's that came from CSV. Each user sends reqests with same id's So i have:

• Counter (from 1 to 3) for 3 users
• Thread group (3 users, loop 1)
• Login Sampler
• While controller (condition ${ID})// ID is the CSV variable
  • CSV Data set config (ID variable, Recycle on EOF:true, Stop thread on EOF: true, Sharin mode: All threads)
    • HTTP request with ${ID}

So with this I want for exmp user 1 to send the numbers 0001 0002 and 0003
than

user 2 to send the number 0001 0002 and 003

I have problem because either user 1 sends only the first number, user 2 only the second one or even though I have stop on EOF true the loop goes infintly

Answer 1

I suggest you to try a simpler way - 3 users with 3 loops in a thread group. So each user will send all 3 values from CSV file.

Your test will look like:

• Thread group (3 users, 3 loops)
  • HTTP Request
    • CSV Data Set Config

Answer 2

Try to insert one While Controller into another:

-CSV Data Set Config
-While Loop controller   <-this iterates through users
--CSV Data Set Config
--While Loop Controller  <- this iterates through values for single user
