Open jmeter.bat from everything and report an error:not able to find java executable or version. please check your java installation
errorlevel=2
I started jmeter.bat from JMeter's bin directory and it started successfully. But I expect to be able to successfully launch jmeter.bat from the voidtools's Everything file search tool
Given you have "bin" directory of your JDK in your PATH environment variable you should be able to run JMeter from any 3rd-party launcher tool or shell.
You might need to restart your session after changing the PATH variable value.
If you cannot amend environment variables (i.e. you don't have enough permissions) you can add the line like:
set PATH=c:\java\bin;%PATH%
directly to jmeter.bat startup script.

I am trying to integrate jmeter with Jenkins and when I try to execute getting jmeter_home env variable, is not defined correctly. It works perfectly when try to execute through the command prompt.
Tried multiple options of setting jmeter_home in Jenkins config global as ~/.jmeter.
Changing jmeter path in system and through a couple of options but no luck.
The environment variable name is case-sensitive, it needs to be JMETER_HOME
Tilda resolves to $HOME environment variable in shell, it might be the case it isn't set so in that case you might want to use full path or check your OS configuration
In general as per JMETER_HOME variable description
(Optional) May point to your JMeter install dir. If empty
it will be set relativ to this script.
So you don't have to pass it, JMeter will "guess" its home from the jmeter starup script location
Also remember that you can always launch JMeter .jar file directly as:
java -jar /path/to/ApacheJMeter.jar

I'm trying to make my windows 10 to open .jmx file with jmeter GUI when I double click on it.
I' using "apache-jmeter-3.2" and currently, in order to open a jmx file I am opening the jmeter jar "\apache-jmeter-3.2\bin\ApacheJMeter.jar" and then dragging the jmx file into it.
I have tried to use the "open with" windows feature, but if i navigate to the jar location and mark "show all files" in order to see .jar extenstions and select it, it show me a windows message says "this app cannot run on your PC".
You should use jmeter-t.cmd (found in JMeter's bin folder)
drop a JMX file on this to load it in GUI mode
Associate file extension .jmx to this command to open JMeter GUI on double click JMeter file.
Use Assoc command to set file type association for JMeter .jmx scripts
Assoc .jmx=jmeter
Use FType command to define JMeter executable for the .jmx scripts
FType jmeter="c:\apps\jmeter\bin\jmeter-t.cmd" %1
That's it, you should be now able to open .jmx scripts by double clicking them on Windows. Just in case here is how to configure MacOS for automatically opening JMeter scripts
According to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider migrating to JMeter 5.0 (or whatever is the current version available at JMeter Downloads page)
I tried to execute JMeter 4.0 from the command prompt in Windows 7.
I got the following error during execution:
The JMETER_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly This
environment variable is needed to run this program
I set C:\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin to JMETER_HOME variable, but the problem remains
I can start JMeter with its jar file.
I use jdk1.8.0_162 and set JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly.
You should set JMETER_HOME to main JMeter directory as C:\apache-jmeter-4.0
Also don't set JMeter directory to JAVA_HOME variable (should hold Java installation path)
Ensure you have installed Java and JMETER Gui works fine first.
Then,
At User Variables add JMETER_HOME followed by D:\Jmeter (Where Jmeter is installed)
Next select Path in User variables and add D:\Jmeter\bin(Where Jmeter bin path is)
Save and restart cmd.
P.S: This is for Windows solution
First ensure you've Java installed
Second you need to ensure the working directory of your call is the JMeter installation directory.
Assumption your JMeter installation is located under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-jmeter-4.0
then you need to set this as working directory.
As you can read in the jmeter.bat file itself:
JMETER_HOME - installation directory. Will be guessed from location of jmeter.bat
This might sound obvious, but I'm getting this error on machines that don't have Java installed. Of course, though a better message might have been nice!
Easiest way:
just delete the JMETER_HOME environment variable, run jmeter.bat and variable will be added automatically.
Asually a wrong JMETER_HOME entry causes this. make sure you have JMETER_HOME pointed to jmeter folder not inside bin directory. For example ,from my local windows i am able to see this thie environment variable
Type : echo %JMETER_HOME%
For me, setting the Windows environment variable didn't help. Instead it worked when I set the variable at the command line (using the root folder of jmeter).
Like this:
SET JMETER_HOME=C:\apache-jmeter-4.0
ensure java is installed and can check with java —version
assuming the path jmeter installed is C:\apache-jmeter-5.3
add the user variable
press new
add Jmeter variable name as JMETER_HOME
variable value as: C:\apache-jmeter-5.3
add the path
look for Path system variable and press edit
edit it to have C:\apache-jmeter-5.3\bin
it doesnt have Path(very unlikely), than press new and add variable name as path and value as C:\apache-jmeter-5.3\bin
restart cmd and type jmeter should do the job.
One reason for getting this error is to have JMETER_HOME variable defined in the environment variables but pointing to the wrong location. I had this problem due to previous installation.
You don't need to set JMETER_HOME path explicitly under user variables, just add/change under system variables under path variable as your bin path. If you already have earlier version of JMeter just append with latest version. Path looks like : C:\XXX\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin
I have got a jmeter test that needs to run a shell script before it can start. The shell script lays in the directory of the jmx file. I use an OS Process Sampler to invoke the script, but the working directory is set to the bin/ folder of apache jmeter, and thus causing an error.
Is there a property for the current directory where my jmx testplan is?
apache jmeter 2.8
on ubuntu 12.04
The way to to it :
Add a User Defined Variables called shellDir with value ${__P(shellDir,default folder)}
Use it in your path as ${shellDir}/
Define this property at startup using -JshellDir=
