How to run jmeter test from Jenkins, here i want to run my jmeter test with jenkins and tried to configure the Jenkins with Performance plugin based on the information got after googling.
In Google the solution is provided where jenkins is hosted locally and in Build we configure command line execution by providing jmx file path and so on...
the problem comes when my jenkins is in other server like http://172.27.80.57:8080/... here if i give Command line execution by providing jmx file path my build will fail..because my path is in different location..
So How to over come this as i am new to Jmeter and my boss want this result to be shown in jenkins ....and if there is any plugins which i need to install or is there any place where i am missing, please let me know ....this is very important for me....
OR is there any possibility that where we can push our changes to Git lab using CI tools such as Sourcetree...etc and then run those in Jenkins.
Thanks in advance.
You will need to install Jenkins build agent to the machine which you plan to use as JMeter load generator, check out Distributed Builds Jenkins Wiki page.
Also JMeter test is possible using Jenkins Pipeline feature. For more information check Running a JMeter Test via Jenkins Pipeline
Hope this helps.

I am new to using JMeter with GitLab CI/CD. I have created loadTest suite and want to configure it in Gitlab CI/CD pipeline. I have run.sh file in my loadTest project which do following:
Create and set up test data
Download JMeter dependencies and plugins (if JMeter already exists, skip this step)
Run the test
Clean up test data
Questions:
Is it a good idea to download JMeter in your project folder while you run the script or use JMeter docker image and run the tests ? I am concern about keeping JMeter folder in GitLab repo and occupying unnecessary space.
How to install Jmeter on Gitlab runner machine ?
Thank you in advance.
If your run.sh script downloads JMeter you don't need to put JMeter into Github repo. Using Docker is also possible, you can either check existing images or create your own with your own test data and plugins.
Gitlab runners are normal Linux machines (if you choose the relevant executor), my expectation is that your run.sh should work just fine there as it is (or with minimal amendments, like installing Java prior to installing JMeter)
I have a Jenkins job that uses a script to build my project. On the following line, the script fails mvn -e -X -Dgit='$git' release:prepare.
Because I want to search for the cause of this, I want to go to the Jenkins server and run mvn -e -X -Dgit='$git' release:prepare from the command line, to see if it works.
Does Jenkins store the projects' source code somewhere, such that I can go to that folder and call Maven?
If yes, then where?
Yes, It Stores the project files for the job by default at
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/{your-job-name}
This is where jenkins suppose the project files to be present or it pulls it from a source before start working/building from it.
Quote from Andrew M.:
"Hudson/Jenkins doesn't quite work that way. It stores configurations and job information in /var/lib/jenkins by default (if you're using the .deb package). If you want to setup persistence for a specific application, that's something you'll want to handle yourself - Hudson is a continuous integration server, not a test framework.
Check out the Wiki article on Continuous Integration for an overview of what to expect."
From this Question on serverfault.
This worked for me:
/var/jenkins/workspace/JobNameExample
but, if your build machine (node) is a different than the one where Jenkins is running (manager), You need specify it:
/var/jenkins/workspace/JobNameExample/label/NodeName
Where you can define label too:
jenkins stores its workspace files currently in /var/jenkins_home/workspace/project_name
I am running from docker though!
I'm using ansible to deploy and install builds on to my servers, but I have to feed Ansible with build name, to grab it and deploy. I would like to close this loop since I have to deploy the builds thrice a day. Is there a tool to do this so that everytime it sees a new build it will automatically invoke the ansible playbook. Or should I go ahead and write my own tool to do this. I'm open to suggestions.
Ansible itself can't do this for you.
But actually there are zillion of other options available: from simple crontab script to complete CI/CD tools such as Jenkins.
I have used jenkins for a while and I can confirm that Jenkins can do that for you.
Once a commit is done, can it compile your solution and deploy to required environment
Local build generates reports in the correct folder: target/results
but when building using Jenkins it puts them in target/gatling/results
This is an issue because now the gatling plugin for Jenkins is unable to find the reports
I can't find where it sets the path
It is not necessary to configure the results folder path for the gatling plugin for Jenkins. It will look for any folder containing a Gatling Simulation, so your configuration doesn't matter.
If you can't make it work and think it is a bug, provide us your jenkins version, gatling-plugin version and gatling version.

Im new to Bamboo and just trying to run this two lines of code in the script task.
cd C:\apache-jmeter-2.11\bin\
jmeter-n.cmd Test.jmx
It is failing and it is showing this message on the logs.
Failing task since return code of [c:\Program Files\Bamboo\temp\TEST-16-ScriptBuildTask-4637676047487491491.bat] was -1 while expected 0
Is path to JMeter correct?
Does Test.jmx script live in JMeter's bin directory
Do you have "java.exe" in your PATH environment variable? Does Bamboo pick it up?
Can you look into "C:\apache-jmeter-2.11\bin\Test.log" file to see whether they are errors there. If there is no such a file one of points 1-3 isn't met.
Are you aware of Bamboo JMeter Plugin?
By the way, Bamboo is capable of executing Ant or Maven tasks and JMeter test can be kicked off using these build systems as well.
