How to get the name of JMX Jmeter filename in a variable

Question

I want to use the name of the jmeter test script (.jmx) in a listener so as to generate the result file in a dynamic way. Can you please tell me what is the Jmeter variable for that purpose?

Used ${fileName} which didn't work

Answer 1

The variable that holds the test plan name is ${__TestPlanName}

Ref: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html#__TestPlanName

Answer 2

You can do it via Beanshell scripting like:

1. GUI mode

   import org.apache.jmeter.gui.GuiPackage;
   
   String scriptName = GuiPackage.getInstance().getTestPlanFile();
   vars.put("scriptName", scriptName);
   

2. non-GUI mode

   import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer;
   
   String scriptName = FileServer.getFileServer().getScriptName();
   vars.put("scriptName", scriptName); 
   

Put the code snippet of your choice into any "Beanshell" test element (sampler, pre/post processor, or assertion), it will get .jmx test script name and store it into ${scriptName} variable.

Below would work irrespective of GUI / Non GUI mode:

import org.apache.jmeter.services.FileServer;
import java.io.File;

String testPlanFile = FileServer.getFileServer().getBaseDir() +
                       File.separator +
                       FileServer.getFileServer().getScriptName();

props.put("testPlanFile", testPlanFile);

Use this as ${__P(testPlanFile)} - Adding it as var would not work across all threads. From http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html -

Properties are not the same as variables. Variables are local to a thread; properties are common to all threads, and need to be referenced using the __P or __property function.
