Hi guys,
Today I will post a shell script that I am using to test a webservice. If you need a xml to test the performance of the server/webservice with Jmeter or if you just need generate a lot of xmls to make any type of test, this example can be useful.
In this code you can generate xmls and change some tags as id, date, etc…
#!/bin/bash
# Written by rafazzevedo
# http://www.azevedorafaela.wordpress.com
defaultpath="/User/" #Change this for the path where you want the files stay
echo "What do you want generate ?"
read element
echo "How many files ?"
read filescount
#Creating the subdirectory for each element and removing the existing folder
if [ ! -d $element ]
then
mkdir "$element"
else
rm -r "$element"
mkdir "$element"
fi
defaultpath=$defaultpath$element/
dateformat=$(date +"%m/%d/%YT%H:%M:%S")
for (( i=0;i<$filescount;i++ )) do
exec 3>temp.xml #Creating temporary file
#HEADER (Common for all xmls)
echo '&3'
echo ' xmlns:cpi="http://xml.wordpress.co.uk/types" >' >&3
echo " http://localhost:9999/$element$i" >&3
echo ' Title' >&3
echo " $dateformat" >&3
echo ' ' >&3
echo ' Rafaela Azevedo' >&3
echo ' http://wordpress.com/img.png' >&3
echo ' rafazzevedo@gmail.co.uk' >&3
echo " " >&3
#SPECIFIC TAGS OF EACH ELEMENT
case $element in
'article')
echo ' Content Test' >&3
echo ' ' >&3
;;
'image')
echo '' >&3
echo ' http://weather.gov/images/xml_logo.gif' >&3
echo ' NOAAs National Weather Service' >&3
echo ' http://weather.gov' >&3
echo '' >&3
;;
esac
echo '' >&3
cp ./temp.xml ${element}/$element-$i.xml #Copying the temporary files
rm ./temp.xml #Removing the temp files
done
echo "Created xml files"
It is helping me a lot lately , I do not need spend a lot of time doing some complex code or generate these files manually. I hope this helps you too .
If you have any suggestion or question, write a comment bellow 🙂
Thank you guys !
