Sharing cookie values between thread groups in JMeter

Question

I have the following setup:

Thread A
  - Http Cookie Manager
  - Login Page
Thread B
  - Http Cookie Manager
  - Page to hit
  - Another page to hit
         


        

Answer 1

CookieManager does not share cookies between threads. For some reason @ClarenceKlopfstein's method didn't work for me (jmeter 3.0). For some reason "${COOKIE_}" didn't seemed to evaluate the string passed.

So, here's another solution to do a Login, and then pass the .ASPXAUTH cookie. It should work without any configuration changes: In a setUp Thread Group (important):

BeanShell PostProcessor:
 import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.CookieManager;
 import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Cookie;

 CookieManager manager = ctx.getCurrentSampler().getCookieManager();
 Cookie cookie = manager.get(3); //Find the '.ASPXAUTH' cookie
 log.info("Cookie:" + cookie);
 props.put("MyCookie",cookie.getValue());

Then in a normal Thread Group:

BeanShell PreProcessor:
 import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.CookieManager;
 import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Cookie;
 CookieManager manager = sampler.getCookieManager();
 Cookie cookie = new Cookie(".ASPXAUTH",props.get("MyCookie"),"","/",false,0);
 manager.add(cookie);
