Jmeter - how to execute linux bash shell command/script through BeanShell - jmeter

please, advice how to how to execute linux bash shell command/script through BeanShell. The idea behind is to use this approach for setUp and teardown without taking place in final reports.
The goal is to setUp/tearDown test environment for each ThreadGroup
Thanks in advance

I would recommend considering switching to JSR223 Test Elements as:
Well-behaved groovy can be compiled into bytecode
Executing commands in Groovy is much easier, all you need is to add .execute() after the command and that's it
"date".execute()
"date".execute().text
Demo:
See Beanshell vs JSR223 vs Java JMeter Scripting: The Performance-Off You've Been Waiting For! article for more detailed information on Groovy scripting in JMeter.

As Beanshell is Java (scripting lang), you can use below statement in Beanshell to run a specific command.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)

In Taurus, How to set "Clear cookies each iteration" to true?

I am trying to clear cookies after each iteration in Taurus yaml.
I tried the solution from below thread but it didn't work:
[Google Group] https://groups.google.com/g/codename-taurus/c/wa4xIbxkUYI?pli=1
Above thread says:
For reference I did it like this:
modifications:
set-prop:
"Cookies>CookieManager.clearEachIteration": "true"
I have tried the same but didn't work.
Using JMeter I can clear the cookies but need the same behavior for Taurus. Any help.
What do you mean "for Taurus"? Taurus just provides YAML configuration of some of JMeter test elements. The "solution" you're referring is for running existing .jmx script using Taurus
Taurus doesn't support 100% of JMeter functionality when it comes to building test plan from config, refer the documentation to see what is supported.
If you want to use some JMeter functionality which is not supported by Taurus the options are in:
Reach out to Taurus developers via the forum you're referencing and ask them to implement the functionality you need
Implement it yourself, Taurus is an open source project
Switch to the existing .jmx script execution
Switch to JMeter and stop using Taurus as a wrapper
Use JR223 Test Elements to perform the removing of cookies, i.e. you could add a JSR223 PreProcessor to the first sampler in the Thread Group and call sampler.getCookieManager().clear() function there where sampler stands for HTTPSamplerBase

Run python-selenium script through jmeter

I have a selenium script written in Python, how do I run it through jmeter?
I read it from other posting that you can choose JSR223 sampler, but it really does not have in language portion, a choice of python.
You need to download jython jar and copy it to JMeter's lib folder
I don't think it's possible via JSR223 Sampler, although you can get Python language support in JSR223 test elements by putting Jython jar to the JMeter classpath you won't be able to install selenium module
So the options are in:
Use OS Process Sampler for launching your Python scripts
Convert your Python scripts into "pure" JMeter scripts by running them via JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, see Http proxies Selenium documentation chapter for example code

JMeter Beanshell listner script sometimes get ignore in non-GUI mode

I created JMeter Test and under first "HTTP Request" I created a Beanshell listner script which works fine when using GUI but 8 out of 10 times the script totally get ignored in non-GUI mode.
I am also running these test in Gitlab CI using Docker Image "justb4/jmeter:latest" and Beanshell script also get ignored there. I don't know whats wrong there it is working fine with GUI
There is no such thing as "get ignored" in JMeter world, it either passes or fails, in case of failure you should see the relevant message(s) in the jmeter.log file
Also be aware that you should not be using Beanshell at all, starting from JMeter 3.1 you should be using JSR223 Listener and Groovy language for scripting, one of Beanshell's disadvantages is that it's being interpreted each time while Groovy scripts can be compiled and cached providing the most optimal performance. See Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It article for more details.
Also be informed that we cannot efficiently help without seeing your code and the aforementioned jmeter.log file.

Is there a way to call a VBS fuction inside Post processor Beanshell - Jmeter

Hi I've a piece of code in VBS file and a function is associated with that
code. I want to call that vbscript function inside a beanshell after Jmeter
execute all its sampler .Is there a way to call a vbs function inside a
beanshell? Please suggest...
It should be as simple as
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("wscript c:/jmeter/bin/yourscript.vbs);
See Runtime class JavaDoc for more details on the approach.
However if your script produces some console output it might be easier to use OS Process Sampler configured like:
See How to Run External Commands and Programs Locally and Remotely from JMeter article to learn how to execute 3rd-party applications from JMeter tests.

JMeter - CIFS support using JCIFS

Does anyone have attempted to write a script in JMeter using JCIFS to write/read/delete file on a remote share? Thanks.
Extensibility is the main feature of JMeter.
In regards to your question I would recommend the following:
Download jcifs-*.jar and drop it to the /lib folder of your JMeter installation
Download groovy-all-*.jar and put it to the same location
Restart Jmeter
Add JSR223 Sampler and put JCIFS-specific code there. See JCIFS API documentation for classes and methods reference.
Make sure that "groovy" language is selected in the "Language" drop-down
Add more JSR223 Samplers if needed
Remember the following:
don't refer JMeter Variables as ${VAR} in groovy code
if you use "Script" input rather than path to groovy file - put something unique (per sampler) into the "Compilation Cache Key" input
For detailed explanation of "why groovy", groovy scripting engine installation instructions and scripting best practices see Beanshell vs JSR223 vs Java JMeter Scripting: The Performance-Off You've Been Waiting For! guide.
