Not able to see command prompt when we run a Beanshell Script in JMeter - jmeter

I saw in a video that we can open command prompt with JMeter and see the log which is printed by Beanshell Script in JMeter version 4, how can we see that in JMeter version 5
I tried different options in JMeter but was not able to see the command prompt opened.

If you use System.out.println("Hello"); function the output goes to STDOUT - the command prompt or terminal window where you did launch JMeter from
If you want to see the output in the log viewer window / jmeter.log file you should use log.info("Hello"); instead
Also I would recommend reconsidering using Beanshell as it's recommended to use JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting since JMeter 3.1
See Apache Groovy: What Is Groovy Used For? article for more information on Groovy scripting in JMeter context

Execute a file using OS sampler in JMeter on a RHEL 8 Machine

Have a .net core library Linux compatible on a Linux machine. I can execute it locally from terminal and getting the expected result. But while executing from JMeter using a OS sampler it is failing.
From Terminal: Running Fine
JMeter Settings:
Fetching the Response Body: (which should be 352 for example from the above terminal)
JMeter it is failing:
Check the file location and permission, everything is in place. What I have missed here any help ?
After change:
I changed as suggested and still facing the issue,
Error details,
I think you need to invoke a shell instead of trying to execute your command directly, something like:
Also if you open the OS Process Sampler in the View Results Tree listener you will see the output or in case of failure the failure reason

I guess you misinterpret both Dimtri and User729 comment, you need to add both places and it should work.

jmeter.log file not updated when run in non-GUI mode (using JMeter 5.2.1)

I'm using JMeter 5.2.1 and when I run some test in GUI mode (or even start the GUI mode), the jmeter.log is populated. But when I use non-GUI mode, nothing is happening.
Command line : "M:\Apps\apache-jmeter-5.2.1\bin\jmeter" -Jthreads=1 -Jrampup=20 -n -t "M:\Data.....\test.jmx" -l "M:\Data\test.csv".
Test runs fine and generates csv, but the jmeter.log doesn't get touched. Right after the test completes, JMeter console is closed down so can't even see if there's any further errors.
My understanding is this jmeter.log should be updated from both GUI and non GUI test runs. Am I missing something?
jmeter.log is written in the folder of execution
So if you execute non GUI (CLI) mode it will append/create jmeter.log in your folder
See also related command line log options:
-l, --logfile <argument>
the file to log samples to
-i, --jmeterlogconf <argument>
jmeter logging configuration file (log4j2.xml)
-j, --jmeterlogfile <argument>
jmeter run log file (jmeter.log)
Your understanding is correct, however it might not be the case regarding your understanding regarding where to find the jmeter.log file.
If you're running JMeter from it's "bin" folder - the jmeter.log file will be generated/updated in this folder
If you're running JMeter from another folder, it will be generated in that folder. If this is your case - instead of looking for updated log under M:\Apps\apache-jmeter-5.2.1\bin look for in in %cd%\jmeter.log
If the above hints don't help - most probably your log4j2.xml file got corrupted somewhere somehow, get the brand new version from JMeter GitHub
If you want JMeter to store the log under M:\Apps\apache-jmeter-5.2.1\bin folder no matter where you run it from - replace this line:
<File name="jmeter-log" fileName="${sys:jmeter.logfile:-jmeter.log}" append="false">
with this one:
<File name="jmeter-log" fileName="M:/Apps/apache-jmeter-5.2.1/bin/jmeter.log}" append="false">
and on next start of JMeter you will see the "log update" you're looking for.

Also be aware that according to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so it might be a good idea to perform an upgrade

Not able to run jmeter script in non gui mode. It is recorded using blazemeter and running on jmeter 5 version

When Running the JMX script from terminal on MAC IN NON-GUI Mode, it returns an error saying "Could not open"
Below are the things i have tried :
1) jmeter -n -t "ABSOLUTE PATH.jmx" -l ABSOLUTE-PATH for results.jtl
2) Set the jmeter path and tried again.
I get the same error every time.
I don't think you can run the recording using JMeter as BlazeMeter Chrome Extension exports recorded scripts in YAML format suitable for Taurus tool
So you can run it using Taurus tool as
bzt test-Combined-JMeter-and-Selenium.yaml
If you want to convert it to "vanilla" JMeter - execute the following command:
bzt test-Combined-JMeter-and-Selenium.yaml -gui
JMeter GUI will open where you will be able to modify and save generated JMeter script as .jmx file which can be executed using JMeter.

Save summary table data itself in jmeter

How should save summary report data in jmeter without clicking on 'Save table data'.
Note: I want to attach generated summary report data in SMTP request.
You may generate Dashboard Report, it's much better and available since JMeter 3.0. Run JMeter in NON GUI mode:
jmeter -n -t <path_to.jmx> -l <log.jtl> -e -o <dashboard_folder>
You can generate it by your self or in the cloud
You can even save the report automatically in GUI mode as well. Just enter the path and file name with .jtl(eg: c:/result/test.jtl) extension just above the report.
The result is generated in the provided location from where you can use for SMTP. The receiver of the JTL file can open the file in MS Excel with proper formats giving appropriate delimiter.
You can generate a CSV view of the Aggregate Report via JMeter Plugins Command Line Tool
Install JMeterPluginsCMD Command Line Tool using JMeter Plugins Manager
Add tearDown Thread Group to your Test Plan
Add OS Process sampler and configure it to run the following command:
JMeterPluginsCMD.bat --generate-csv test.csv --input-jtl results.jtl --plugin-type AggregateReport
Add SMTP Sampler after the OS Process Sampler and configure it to use test.csv file as request body or attachment
You might need to add the next line to user.properties file:
jmeter.save.saveservice.autoflush=true

Jmeter no GUI mode runs .jmx does not include run the overwrite method getDefaultParameters()

I create a java sampler .jmx in jmeter GUI mode with an element CSV Data Set Config. It contains a getDefaultParameters() method which is a overwrite method to initialize parameters. It runs well in GUI mode. However it does not initialize parameters when running in no GUI mode. Because it does not print the log I have added in the getDefaultParameters() method. The command I have used is "jmeter -n -t OpenAPIAutomationTestPlatform0928.jmx".
Some logs from jmeter:
So it gives out the error NonPointerException when try to get the parameter come from CSV Data Set Config.
How can I initialize parameters using no GUI mode? Thank you.
In JMeter 5 new changes you can add parameters' initialization inside groovy script added to file jsr223.init.file in your bin folder
Bug 62700 - Introduce jsr223.init.file to allow calling a JSR-223 script on JMeter startup
