I am new to Jmeter and trying to learn it on my own. I am setting up proxy setting in the browser and trying to record the script. But as soon I set the proxy in the browser, am not able to access the internet through that browser.Which is preventing me from recording to the script?
Kindly help me with this issue.
Starting from JMeter 3.0 default port for the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is 8888
The easiest way to get JMeter configured for recording is using JMeter Templates feature. From JMeter's main menu choose:
File -> Templates -> Recording -> Create
Don't forget to start JMeter Proxy Server
Expand "Workbench"
Select "HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder"
Click "Start" button
You will see a message regarding Root CA Certificate - it is OK, just information regarding JMeter generated a dummy certificate - ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt. If you will need to record the site which uses HTTPS - you will need to import it into your browser

I do not have workbench on Apache 5.3 and due to which I don't have HTTP Proxy Server. I used the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder. Started Chrome and manually configured the proxy settings. Settings => Advanced => Network => Manual Proxy:localhost and port as 8080(same as configured on the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder). enter image description hereBut when I click on Start button on the recorder, Im getting the below error. Can someone please help
The error you're getting means that JMeter is not able to generate proxyserver.jks file (Java keystore to keep MITM certificate allowing JMeter to intercept and decrypt SSL traffic) because it doesn't have read/write access to the folder where you launch JMeter from.
The solutions are in:
Run JMeter as administrator, administrators have full control over all folders
Change proxy.cert.directory property to some folder where your user has access rights
If for some reason you cannot go for steps 1 and/or 2 you should be able to record your test scenario using JMeter Chrome Extension
I tried recording .net application with Jmeter. I kept getting 'Page can't be found' error during recording. I changed the IE proxy server setting and configured the port number.
Not sure why it's not able to capture anything within the page.
Prepare JMeter for recording, the fastest and the easiest way is using JMeter Templates feature
From JMeter's main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording and click "Create"
Start the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder:
Prepare Internet Explorer for recording:
Configure IE to use JMeter as the proxy:
Install JMeter's MITM certificate into IE:
If your machine uses corporate proxy for Internet access - configure JMeter to use this proxy
That's it, you should be able to record now.
The current state of my JMeter setup and test plan is:
JMeter 5
Certificate Authority generated and imported into Firefox.
Checked that the port # in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder matches that in the proxy server set up in Firefox.
Have added a Recording Controller to my Thread Group.
Have added Cache and Cookie Managers to my Thread Group.
When I start the proxy server, i.e., Start the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, I can walk the example application I'm testing - including HTTPS requests. (And if the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is not started I get "The proxy server is refusing connections" message from Firefox.)
I have ensured that the selected Target Controller in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is a recording controller I've added to my Thread Group.
No Sampler/Requests are being added under the Recording Controller.
Has anyone else encountered a situation in JMeter in which the proxy server seems to be working correctly but no sampler/requests are actually being recorded? And even if this case is novel, do you have any suggestions? Thank-you in advance for your advice.
Take a look at jmeter.log file - if there is an issue with your setup you should get some clues regarding what's wrong from there. It is also a good idea to add the next line to log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.proxy" level="debug" />
it will increase log level verbosity for the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Make sure your Firefox is configured to use the proxy for all protocols and there are no exclusions for localhost, 127.0.0.1 or your IP address/hostname
Try clearing your browsing history as it might be the case "stale" certificate is still present or something is cached.
As the last resort be aware of an alternative way of recording a JMeter test using JMeter Chrome Extension - in this case you will not have to worry about proxies and SSL certificates.
You shouldn't create your own Test Script Recorder script, simply because you can make mistakes, just use predefined JMeter's template
Choose Menu: File -> Templates
(Recording is selected) Click Create
Your Recording script is set
you need to add ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA certificate in your firefox by setting
Go to tools > option > Certificate > View Certificate > import certificates.
Now restart the firefox.
just a late reply but facing same issue...
Have you tried to clean the 'URL Patterns to include' in HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder ?
It did work for me and could record was the proxy was not recording.
My excel contains account related data. Once i upload this in to system and click on the upload button system automatically create accounts. Plz tell me the steps.
The fastest and the easiest way is just recording your file upload event using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder:
Prepare JMeter for recording.
From JMeter main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording and click "Create"
Expand Workbench -> HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click "Start"
Prepare Browser for recording
You need to configure your browser to use JMeter as a proxy, if JMeter and browser are running on the same machine use localhost as proxy host and 8888 as proxy port.
Copy the file you would like to upload into "bin" folder of your JMeter installation. This is vital as if you omit this step JMeter won't be able to locate the file. See Recording File Uploads with JMeter for more detailed explanation
Upload your file in browser - JMeter will capture the request and generate the relevant HTTP Request sampler for this.
when i change the proxy settings the Save button is not getting enable, can anyone help me to to record the script by for Android Application.
please share Videos to Record a script for android.
Thanks In Adavance.
Make sure your Android device is connected to the same network as the machine running JMeter
Prepare JMeter for recording, the fastest and the easiest way is using templates feature, from JMeter's main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording -> Create
Expand Workbench -> HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click "Start"
Configure your mobile device to use JMeter as a proxy, use IP address or hostname of machine where JMeter is running as proxy host and 8888 as proxy port
If application you're trying to record is using HTTPS transport you will need to import JMeter's self-signed certificate onto the device. Locate ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt file (it is being generated in JMeter's "bin" folder when you start HTTP(S) Test Script recorder) and send it to yourself via the email. Once done - open the attachment on the Android device and follow installation dialog. You may also need a 3rd-party tool like ProxyDroid in order to configure HTTPS proxy.
