How can I integrate selenium scripts written in python , with jmeter?

Question

I have some already working selenium scripts written in python. But, my current use case is to run them through jmeter.

I know I can add webdriver sampler in jmeter to integrate selenium with jmeter. But what if the scripts are written in python?

Is it possible or I need to convert my scripts to java?

To execute Python scripts, you should use JSR223 sampler, not the web driver. WebDriver supports only Java. But JSR223 sampler supports Python, Groovy etc. — NaveenKumar Namachivayam

As my current installation suggests JSR223 sampler doesn't have python as language option, though it does support groovy. — Ahasanul Haque

Also you can use BeanShell processor to execute your python script. — NaveenKumar Namachivayam

It depends on what you are trying to achieve:

If you need to simply "run" tests as they are, you can:

Download Jython jar
Put it under "lib" folder of your JMeter installation
Restart JMeter
See "jython/python" scripting option under JSR223 Test Elements

If you want your Selenium tests to be executed in parallel with existing JMeter test the easiest option would be using Taurus tool for executing both JMeter and Selenium at the same time.
If you need to use your Python Selenium tests for creating the load, converting them to JMeter format will be a much better idea as using real browsers memory footprint is huge therefore you won't be able to conduct more or less immense load.
- set Selenium to use JMeter as a proxy
- run JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
- run your Selenium tests
- perform correlation and parameterization if required
  
  You can also check out How to Convert Selenium Scripts into the JMX article for an alternative approach assuming automated correlation.

Thanks for the answer. I think this covers the whole scenario, though I am only interested in use case #1.

Ahasanul Haque Over a year ago

I am able to run simple python code with your above solution (placing jython jar inside lib). But, I can't run selenium code. That's probably because selenium isn't installed in my jython. I searched a lot, but can't figure out how to install a python module so that it works with a jython jar. Would you please add this to the answer?

Dimitri, I am encountering this issue also. In item no.1 above, the Jython link is a dead link, I am wondering if you can show what should the jython link lead to?

Jython works.

I would suggest looking at Locust.io. It's python's answer to jmeeter. It's free. It's python native, so one can easily port into it.
