I am trying to perform load test using jmeter. I have my script to extract and generate .json output file which is using ruby. Now i want to use this output.json ( which changes with every thread event) in jmeter and run it with 100 threads. How do I call .rb using jmeter gui?
You can use OS Process Sampler to invoke whatever external command or program from JMeter test script.
Example configuration:
Change:
c:\apps\ruby\bin\ruby.exe to the actual path to your ruby executable
c:\temp\script.rb to the actual path of your .rb script
More information: How to Run External Commands and Programs Locally and Remotely from JMeter
You can execute ruby in JMeter using jruby script engine
Dowonload jruby-engine.jar
Copy to JMeter lib directory with ruby relevant jars (as jruby-core)
In JSR223 choose language as jruby
Write your ruby script and run test
Notice that JRuby find predefined variable using $ prefix:
$log.info("Hello from JRuby");

I want to create a JMeter setenv.bat that contains environmental variables such as set JMETER_HOME=xx
I want to just type 'jmeter' anywhere on the Terminal CL in any directory to start jmeter, could this done ?
I have used a symbolic link but setenv.bat file must be a better way.
Any example would be appreciated.
In order to be able to launch JMeter from any place you need to add "bin" folder of your JMeter installation to your operating system PATH
For Windows it can be done via setx command like:
setx PATH=%PATH%;c:\jmeter\bin
replace c:\jmeter\bin with the actual path to your JMeter's bin folder.
In the same shell or after next login you will be able to type jmeter and it will run JMeter GUI.

I installed jmeter with brew and built a test plan which I hoped to be able to run on a distributed set of nodes. But I cannot find where the jmeter.properties file is in order to tell my local client where to look for the helper nodes. Any ideas? I tried adding it manually, but it did not take.
The /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.0/bin folder only contains jmeter and jmeter.log
Thanks!
Looking into JMeter formula my expectation is that you should see jmeter.properties file under /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.0/libexec/bin/ folder (this is applicable for JMeter 5.0, for other versions location should be different)
PS1. You can install JMeter without using Homebrew, if you execute the following commands:
cd ~
wget https://www-eu.apache.org/dist//jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-5.0.tgz
tar xf apache-jmeter-5.0.tgz
then you will have "normal" JMeter installation as apache-jmeter-5.0 in your home folder
PS2. According to JMeter Best Practices you should be rather using user.properties than jmeter.properties so consider placing your configuration into /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.0/libexec/bin/user.properties file instead
PS3. You can also pass any JMeter property via -J command-line argument so you can do something like
jmeter -JpropertyName=propertyValue
i.e.
jmeter -Jremote.hosts=10.10.10.1,10.10.10.2 -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
It's also not in my /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.0/bin folder.
However, if your intention is simply to have jmeter load your user.properties file, then
create a user.properties file inside
/usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.0/bin
then execute jmeter by running $ /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.0/bin/jmeter
The user.properties file would be loaded by jmeter.
How to run the Jmeter tests from bamboo?
I tried in Jenkins which has the 'Execute windows batch command' option and I just pasted these lines and worked fine
jmeter -n -t C:\apache-jmeter-2.13\apache-jmeter-2.13\bin\test.jmx
I need to work the same with bamboo as well. So I tried with the script task, selected Inline and in the script body I pasted the above lines
It failed with this error
/opt/bamboo/current/temp/TEST-NEW-NEW-33-ScriptBuildTask-6294682377804302931.sh: line 2: C:Jmeterapache-jmeter-2.13bin: command not found
/opt/bamboo/current/temp/TEST-NEW-NEW-33-ScriptBuildTask-6294682377804302931.sh: line 3: jmeter: command not found
I tried with the Command task also in bamboo but no luck.
I'm struggling how to run Jmeter tests from bamboo? Anyone please advise. I see that we can do it with maven I believe, but I don't know much about it, but if anyone has step by step instructions that I can follow that helps as well.
Thanks in advance
Define the jmeter executable as a remote capabiliety.
Then add a new command to your task and select jmeter as executable. Add your arguments and you are done.
It looks like that you need to either need to escape backslashes like:
C:\\apache-jmeter-2.13\\apache-jmeter-2.13\\bin\\test.jmx
or change them to forward slashes as:
C:/apache-jmeter-2.13/apache-jmeter-2.13/bin/test.jmx
Other options on how to kick off a JMeter test from Bamboo build step are:
bamboo-jmeter-plugin
JMeter Ant Task
JMeter Maven Plugin
existing JMeter tests can be executed from Java code, moreover, it is possible to create a JMeter test purely in Java.
See 5 Ways To Launch a JMeter Test without Using the JMeter GUI guide for detailed information on aforementioned options.
I assume your Bamboo is in a linux environment.
From Bamboo on Linux, create a new task and select script:
cd /<your path>/apache-jmeter-2.13/bin
./jmeter -n -t <your path>/test.jmx
If Windows, set environment variable JMETER_HOME to C:\apache-jmeter-2.13\apache-jmeter-2.13\ and then on Bamboo's command line:
cd C:\apache-jmeter-2.13\apache-jmeter-2.13\bin\
jmeter -n -t test.jmx
I've created a test plan to do some load testing against HTTP endpoints. I want to run the same test plan against multiple endpoints, and find myself having to do the following each time:
Change variable that determines which endpoint I'm hitting.
Run the test.
When complete, record results.
Clear all results.
Back to step 1.
I want to automate this. Is the following possible?
Define a list of endpoints as a variable.
For each endpoint in endpoints
Run test against endpoint
When complete, save results
Clear all results.
The things in particular that I don't know how to automate are:
Starting a test
Defining an list-style variable
Clearing all results
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please see answers below:
Starting a test
Apart from running JMeter from GUI there are several execution options such as:
Command line non-GUI mode - you can wrap JMeter execution line in operating system batch file
JMeter Ant Task - integration with Apache Ant build system, more powerful if you're comfortable with it
JMeter Maven Plugin - the same as Ant but for Apache Maven
Option to run JMeter with CI systems like Jenkins
Defining an list-style variable
JMeter offers "properties" which can be set via .properties files (see user.properties in /bin folder of your JMeter installation for example) or passed as name/value pairs to JMeter startup script. For instance instead of hard-coding your host in .jmx file you can use read a property function.
Set "Server Name or IP" field value to ${__P(myhost,)}
Add myhost=example.com line to user.properties file in /bin folder of your JMeter installation, restart JMeter and run the test. Request will go to example.com.
Alternatively you can pass myhost property to JMeter in command-line mode as follows
jmeter -Jmyhost=example.com
Multiple properties can be passed this way:
jmeter -Jproperty1=value1 -Jproperty2=value2 ....
And even files via -p or --propfile JMeter command line argument
See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more options and information.
Clearing all results
It depends on unattended execution option you'll choose, all of them provide at least one way to delete file and/or folder. Personally I wouldn't delete any results and would rather keep them for future reference. To distinguish different endpoints test runs and to avoid overwriting I would use timestamps like:
jmeter -Jhttp.endpoint=my.test.host -n -t your-script.jmx -l my-test-host-results-${date}.jtl
where
-J - sets endpoint to my.test.host
-n - tells JMeter to run in non-GUI mode
-t - specifies .jmx file to use
-l - specifies name and location of results file
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=
