How to Generate Dashboard Report from JMeter GUI ? - jmeter

I can generate dashboard report from command line... but i have to execute test with command line for the same .... Can we generate Dashboard report from Jmeter GUI or run test from GUI and get dashboard report for the same?

In short, yes you have to run test from GUI and get dashboard report for the same.
Add a listener to your test script in GUI mode. From every test, you can generate report file (.jtl file) in default CSV format.
In your listeners, you can save your report file (.jtl file) like this. Just put the full path of your file and the run the test.
This will automatically generates the .jtl/.csv reports after test completion.
Then you can read and process samples from CSV files to generate HTML files containing graph views.
Now, Generating report from the existing .jtl results file:
jmeter -g /path/to/jtl/file -o /where/you/want/to/store/dashboard
For more, follow this referrence.

As of JMeter 3.0 or 3.1, HTML report can be generated in 2 ways:
Non GUI mode at end of load test
On demand from command line using an existing CSV file
See this:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/generating-dashboard.html
Generating a report for a load test ran in GUI will never be possible because it's a bad practice to Load Test from GUI.
But it may be possible in the future to generate a report from an existing CSV file and from the GUI:

JMeter - tests report always in XML format even though jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format is set to CSV in all places

I set the correct property to be csv format, but yet my report is still giving me XML. Why would this happen?
When I want to draw the graph with:
jmeter -g foo.csv -o graphs
I see error:
File '/xxx/xxx/foo.csv' does not contain the field names header, ensure the jmeter.save.saveservice.* properties are the same as when the CSV file was created or the file may be read incorrectly when generating report
An error occurred: Could not read sample <0>
Open the jmx file with Jmeter in GUI mode, select all listeners of results, for example "View results in tree" or "View results in table", and click "Configure" button, check if you have checked the "Save output as XML" and "Save response data" check. Even one listener checks it, the final report will be in XML, even when you set the correct property.
Or, you can open the jmx file in a text editor, search <responseData> and <xml>. The content of tags should be false and false, always.
The property needs to be set before running the test, not before generating the results.
Also don't use any listeners, they don't add value and just consume resources. If you run JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l foo.csv
the foo.csv should be in CSV format (assuming default Results File Configuration)
If you don't have possibility to re-run the test you can use Merge Results tool for converting it from the XML format to CSV format, the Merge Results Tool can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager

How can i generate html report in jmeter with response body

I have made these settings in my jmeter.properties file to save my response data when there is a failure
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=false
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
So with these settings i was able to save the responses and view them using jtl file after i run the script from non gui
But the problem is with this setting jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml i am unable to generate html report
I wanted to generate html report with response body..can someone please help me out
As of JMeter 5.3 you cannot generate HTML reporting dashboard from .jtl files in XML format, according to the documentation:
The dashboard generator is a modular extension of JMeter. Its default behavior is to read and process samples from CSV files to generate HTML files containing graph views. It can generate the report at end of a load test or on demand.
The easiest way of getting the response data into the HTML reporting dashboard is artificially failing the sampler(s) via JSR223 Assertion and setting assertion failure message to be current sampler's response data, example code:
AssertionResult.setFailure(true)
AssertionResult.setFailureMessage(prev.getResponseDataAsString())
You will be able to get something like:
If this solution is not acceptable you can amend the report-template to represent whatever you want (the knowledge of Java and Freemarker will be required)

Jmeter reports for functional testing

I am using Jmeter for functional testing and not just for load testing.
All the examples that I see for reports are for load testing, and I do not see how it is effective for functional, I do not care speed of response latency and so on.
I care about sampler response, is http get 200 OK, is the assertion succeed or not
the response message that I write, the JDBC response with my response message.
Is their a way to use Jmeter reports to see al that?
I have a test plan with 50 tests, is their any example of how it should look like in reports?
Once again not care for this test from performance or load at all, just functional, Is their any guide since all the info I see its about performance and not functional
You should look into Jmeter+ant integration. You can run .jmx files using Ant and generate HTML report. The HTML report gives the success and failure rate and response message as well.
Steps to run JMeter .jmx with Ant:
Install Apache Ant and the installation should be in your path.
Copy your .jmx file into your apache JMeter's /extras folder and replace existing Test.jmx file your own.
Type the command ant.
Ant will generate the .jtl and .html file with the same name as your .jmx file.
If you want to run the tests using continuous integration and Jenkins. Please follow the below nice blog.
http://www.testautomationguru.com/jmeter-continuous-performance-testing-part1/
You should check the
for example for each listener you can click Configure and choose Save Configuration, in your case you can check only
Save Success - if it succeeded or failed
Save Field Names (CSV) - header line
Save Label - to know which request succeeded or failed
if no checkbox is checked you will get an empty lines for each sampler
You will get results as
label,success
HTTP Request,true
HTTP Request,true
HTTP Request2,false
HTTP Request2,false
You can precisely control what is being saved into .jtl results file by using dedicated JMeter Properties which names start from jmeter.save.saveservice
Example configuration will look like
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes=true
#etc.
This way you will get a .jtl results file in .XML format which can be examined using View Results Tree listener.
You can also view this .jtl file directly in browser, however you will need to add one line to it in order to specify the desired XSL stylesheet to it like:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\apache-jmeter-3.3\extras\jmeter-results-report_21.xsl"?>

Getting Header error in JMeter when trying to get HTML report

I am trying to get the HTML report from my JMeter test plan. Unfortunately, below error is shown always.
File '/Users/roradhak/Cisco/GET/PPS-Proxy-Performance/Graph2_CSV.csv' does not contain the field names header, ensure the jmeter.save.saveservice.* properties are the same as when the CSV file was created or the file may be read incorrectly
In fact, I tried to do all the settings changes as explained in Jmeter 3.0 can't generate the ANT HTML report and in other links also. Can someone please put some light into this?
You need to make sure you have at least the following line in user.properties file:
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
The first line of your .jtl results file needs to be like:
timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,dataType,success,failureMessage,bytes,sentBytes,grpThreads,allThreads,Latency,IdleTime,Connect
If you have different output - kindly amend JMeter configuration to match the one, described in the Generating Report Dashboard article.

Get XML Reports in TeamCity from Google Test

I am trying to figure out how to run unit tests, using Google Test, and send the results to TeamCity.
I have run my tests, and output the results to an xml, using a command-line argument --gtest_output="xml:test_results.xml".
I am trying to get this xml to be read in TeamCity. I don't see how I can get XML Reports passed to TeamCity during build/run...
Except through XML report Processing:
I added XML Report Processing, added Google Test, then...
it asks me to specify monitoring rules, and I added the path to the xml file... I don't understand what monitoring rules are, or how to create them...
[Still, I can see nowhere in the generated xml, the fact that it intends to talk to TeamCity...]
In the log, I have:
Google Test report watcher
[13:06:03][Google Test report watcher] No reports found for paths:
[13:06:03][Google Test report watcher] C:\path\test_results.xml
[13:06:03]Publishing internal artifacts
And, of course, no report results.
Can anyone please direct me to a proper way to import the xml test results file into TeamCity ? Thank you so much !
Edit: is it possible that XML Report Processing only processes reports that were created during build ? (which Google Test doesn't do?) And is ignoring the previously generated reports, as "out of date", while simply saying that it can't find them - or are in the wrong format, or... however I should read the message above ?
I found a bug report that shows that xml reports that are not generated during the build are ignored, making a newbie like me believe that they may not be generated correctly.
Two simple solutions:
1) Create a post build script
2) Add a build step that calls the command line executable with the command-line argument. Example:
Add build step
Add build feature - XML report processing
I had similar problems getting it to work. This is how I got it working.
When you call your google test executable from the command line, prepend %teamcity.build.checkoutDir% to the name of your xml file to set the path to it like this:
--gtest_output=xml:%teamcity.build.checkoutDir%test_results.xml
Then when configuring your additional build features on the build steps page, add this line to your monitoring rules:
%teamcity.build.checkoutDir%test_results.xml
Now the paths match and are in the build directory.
