Error parsing URL with variables for host and port

[bpr...@gmail.com]

I'm working on a Taurus test where I'm trying to validate a request where the host and port change.

Ideally, I would like to use something like this in my scenario request: http://${host}:${port}/somefile.php

But, Taurus seems to have trouble parsing this URL.

• If I run the test with the above URL, I see the following error: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '${port}'
• If I hardcode the host and not the port or hardcode the port and not the host, I see the following error:
• Response code: Non HTTP response code: java.net.URISyntaxException
• Response message: Non HTTP response message: Illegal character in authority

I've also tried manually escaping characters in the URL but to no avail.

Has anyone worked on a test where the host and port in the request are dynamic?  If so, how did you handle this situation?

Hi, Brian
Your problem was discussed some treads ago (https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/codename-taurus/qLGfkdbP6qk)
Yes, this is a bug caused by combination of variables and jmeter requests. We'll fix it in nearest release (in 1-2 weeks).

Thanks!

1.3.1 with the fix has just been released, upgrade and try again

Andrey,

I upgraded to 1.3.1, and here's what I'm seeing when I try to make the request:

Response code: Non HTTP response code: java.net.URISyntaxException

Response message: Non HTTP response message: Illegal character in authority at index 7:  http://${host}/directory/file.php

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in authority at index 7:  http://${host}/directory/file.php

This is the URL I specify in my scenario: http://${host}:${port}/directory/file.php

In the results tree, this is the request I see getting made: POST http://${host}/directory/file.php

I get the host and port number in the scenario that runs immediately before this one, and I have verified that I am getting both of those values.

That error means that replacement of variable does not happen inside JMeter. This means that variable was not defined in JMeter at the moment it was queried.

Can you share your config file with us to suggest you possible way out of it?

For anyone else who visits this thread, my issue was resolved by making the variables in the URL lowercase.

In my actual request (the request referenced above is a generic dummy request), I was using camel-case variables.
