WS Connection across Thread Groups

[Ashish Grover]

Hey there

I want to create and open a web socket connection in my setUp Thread and then use this connection across multiple thread groups.

I have a WebSocket Single Write Sampler setup to 'use existing connection', however I'm getting an error that no connection exists (which makes sense since I'm not opening a new connection in this thread group).

Is there a way to carry open WS connections across thread groups?

Hi Ashish,

No, it's not possible to share ws connections across threads. This is intentional. A JMeter thread is supposed to simulate a client and in reality, different clients won't share ws connections either.

If you can explain what you want to achieve, i might be able to help you setting up a test plan.
