Problem loading .csv data into the .yml file for request body

So the problem is that the “template” variables doesn’t get replaced when running the script.

“Real url” scrabled

home.yml file:

config:
    target: "http://someurl.com"
    phases:
      - duration: 1
        arrivalCount: 1
    payload:
      path: "users.csv"
      fields:
        - "email"
        - "password"
      order: "sequence"
    processor: "./log.js"
scenarios:
  - flow: 
    - log: "New virtual user running"
    - post:
        url: "/tokens"
        headers:
          Content-Type: "application/json"
        json:
          email: "{{ email }}"
          password: "{{ password }}"
        beforeRequest: "setJSONBody"
        afterResponse: "logHeaders"

users.csv file: (doesn’t matter what the actual data is actually)

email,password
[e-mail],awesomePassword

log.js file:

module.exports = {
    setJSONBody: setJSONBody,
    logHeaders: logHeaders
  }

  function setJSONBody(requestParams, context, ee, next) {
    console.log(requestParams)
    return next(); // MUST be called for the scenario to continue
  }

  function logHeaders(requestParams, response, context, ee, next) {
    console.log(response.body);
    return next(); // MUST be called for the scenario to continue
  }

Request (when running the test):

{ url: 'http://someurl.com/tokens',
  headers: {},
  json: { email: '{{ email }}', password: '{{ password }}' },
  beforeRequest: 'setJSONBody',
  afterResponse: 'logHeaders',
  method: 'POST',
  timeout: 120000,
}

As you might notice the template variables: '{{ email }}' and '{{ password }}' should be replaced by the input data from the .csv

What is wrong here? @hassy by your request I created this issue from the gitter comment I posted

If more information is required please let me know.

The variables do actually get replaced. beforeRequest hooks run before the substitutions happen, that’s why you’re seeing the templates in the output from your function.

To verify, run nc -l 10888 in one window, change target to “http://localhost:10888” and run your script. You should see something like:

$ nc -l 10888

POST /tokens HTTP/1.1
user-agent: Artillery (https://artillery.io)
content-type: application/json
host: localhost:10888
accept: application/json
content-length: 39
Connection: keep-alive

{"email":"email","password":"password"}

Edit/P.S.: thanks for taking the time to provide a reproducible test case! 😃

@hassy Could you see that above? Thanks
