Question

I use groovy in my Jmeter BSF, and sometimes I have functions that are used frequently enough to be moved to some script which I than can use as a library.
My approach was to create a file, say “library.groovy”, and add there some function

public void function()
{
    println("hello!");
}

and then use the following code in my BSF script

import library.groovy;
function();

Both files lie in the same dir, but script refuses to locate library. I also tried to explicitly wrap this function into class but I took no effect as well.

Can anyone suggest a solution for this?

Update:
I tried almost all possible solutions described in the internet. And everything that works in groovy console or Eclipse does not in Jmeter. Probably that is because of BSF. Anyone knows some workarounds?

Answer 1

I ended up having 2 files like below:
“MyHelloClass.groovy”

public class MyHelloClass   {
    public void hello() {
        println("Hello!");
    }
}

And “HelloScript.groovy”

try {
    ClassLoader parent = getClass().getClassLoader();
    GroovyClassLoader loader = new GroovyClassLoader(parent);
    Class groovyClass = loader.parseClass(new File("../GroovyScripts/MyHelloClass.groovy"));
    GroovyObject helloClass = (GroovyObject) groovyClass.newInstance();
    helloClass.hello();
}
catch (Throwable e) {
    println(e.toString());
}

Then I can run “HelloScript.groovy” in BSF from Jmeter.
