extracting random element from json response and using it in next request

[Sameer Mainkar]

Hello,

I am trying to parse a json response and get all the instances of specific key. I want to randomly extract one of the value for that key in my next request. Currently I am getting Map and have to specifically select the value from that map. Can I randomize it.

My Code:

.check(jsonPath("$.entries[*].id").findAll.saveAs("id")))  ----> This returns all "id" present under "entries", like Map(id -> Vector(id1, id2, id3, id4, id5,....)). 

I would like to randomly pick up any of those id's returned above in my request, instead I am currently specifying it like shown below:

.get("/nextRequest/${id(3)}")

Would it be possible to randomly assign id in above request instead of ${id(3)}.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

You can simply add a transform step to do that. Use ThreadLocalRandom.

Oups, stupid me: there's a random function in Gatling EL: http://gatling.io/docs/2.0.3/session/expression_el.html#expression-language

Thanks Stephen, this is much simpler than transform step. I had used transform function specified in one of the earlier posts. 

This helps a lot.

Thanks once again.

Hi Kuldeep,

This was long back that I had did. Hope it holds true still,if I recollect correctly, had used below:

"${foo.random()}"

Hi Team,

please help in below scenario.

i need to extract the ids from response in an array where 1 id having null value i need to ignore that "null" value and save other ids and pass to next request randomly.

sample response like below:-

[
    {
        "id": null,
       
    },
    {
       
        "id": 1,
       
    },
    {
       
        "id": 2,
       
    },
    {
       
        "id": 3,
       
    },
    {
       
        "id": 4,
       
    },
    {
       
        "id": 5,
       
    }
]

jsonPath("$[*].id").ofType[Int].findAll.saveAs("allId")

still am getting null value in response to how to ignore null and pass other values randomly to next request please help me .

Hi Kuldeep,

Below is not question for Gatling User group. This is a typical scala/java question. You can refer to below links.
