Is there a way to save results of recording as well? I have to record it several times if I forget not to close the window, which I always do.
The recorded activity will automatically save under your Test Plan.You will find all the recorded samples under the "Recording Controller"**After you stop recording you will see the recorded script in JMeter with all your activity in the browser.It will automatically update under **Thread Group.This script will contain all your page requests during browsing activity.
Here is the step by step process of recording browsers action.
Step1: Open Firefox browser and from Network Connection settings configure the proxy server as HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1, Port: 8888
Step2: Run your Jmeter.bat file and open Templates under File dropdown list and click "Create".
Step3: Expand Work Bench and select "HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder". And click "Start" at the bottom of the page.You will have two pop up to Allow Firewall and Temporary Root CA Certification Installation.Allow all those and now go to your browser and do your browser activity.When it's done "Stop" the HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder.
Step4: After this you will get the recorded script in JMeter with all your activity in the browser.It will automatically update under Thread Group.This script will contain all your page requests during browsing activity. Sample script after recording is shown below.
So after finishing your recording you will get the Recorded Script as a .jmx file after saving.
You would also like to go through the Apache documentation of HTTP(s) Script Recorder for further details.
JMeter has an inbuilt functionality to save the recording. Maybe you can follow the content that is available on this page.

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.
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
Jmeter is not recording a particular site. However, it did record for the very first time, later something might have happened, below is the set up.
HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder > port 7878
Firefox > localhost (7878)
open firefox > start HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and open WWW.xyzabc.com
Jmeter records perfectly as expected.
Now, after sometime i did the same, this time nothing is being recorded however, the site got opened on firefox.
Additionally, when i have stopped recording on jmeter, i was still able to open the site and perform actions on firefox, but for other sites i get "The proxy server is refusing connections"
Can anyone please explain this behaviour?
A couple of assumptions:
Your site uses HTTPS transport and Firefox isn't configured to record HTTPS traffic
Your site is running on your local machine and Firefox is configured to not to use proxy for local addresses.
In Firefox network configuration make sure:
Use this proxy server for all protocols box is checked
No Proxy for: input field is empty
If it doesn't help you can try out the following:
Add the next line to user.properties file
log_level.jmeter.protocol.http.proxy
Restart JMeter to pick the property up
Look for anything suspicious in jmeter.log file
If nothing help you can consider an alternative way of recording a JMeter test - JMeter Chrome Extension
Here is the step by step procedure to record a scenario in JMeter.
The easiest way to use recording is from "Templates" .
Step1: Open your Firefox browser and from Network Connection settings configure the proxy server as HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1, Port: 8888.
See image here
Step2: Run your Jmeter.bat file and open "Templates" under File dropdown list and click "Create".
See image here
Step3: Expand WorkBench and select "HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder". And click "Start" at the bottom of the page.You will have two pop up to Allow Firewall and Temporary Root CA Certification Installation.Allow all those and now go to your browser and do your browser activity.When it's done "Stop" the HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder.
Step4: After this you will get the recorded script in JMeter with all your activity in the browser.It will automatically update under Thread Group.This script will contain all your page requests during browsing activity. Sample script after recording is shown here.
If it's HTTPS, then you have to add its certificate to jmeter.
I am using apache-jmeter-2.6. I want to record browser action using HTTP Proxy Server. But The actions are not recording.
I have defined HTTP Request Defaults under Thread Group,I have given value for the server name that looks like this:
http://www.xxxxx.com:81/
And I left the Port Number field empty as it is given with the Server Name.
In HTTP Proxy Server under workbench, I have given the Port value:81 and added ".*.html" in URL Patterns to include.
I have set the proxy server setting in firefox browser with Port:81 and Http Proxy: www.xxxxx.com
Now when I start the proxy server in jmeter and do different actions in my browser, i get nothing in my listener which is 'View Result Tree'.
I have searched for the ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt file in different directories of my pc so that I can install it in my browser but did not find it anywhere, seems it is not created.
I have also deleted proxyserver.jks and then tried everything again, but no success.
What am i doing wrong here? How do i fix this?
My java version is 1.8.0_77.
Thank You.
First of all I recommend you to upgrade your JMeter version.JMeter 2.13 version is available.The performance of JMeter is being constantly improved, so users are highly encouraged to use the most up to date version.
Ensure you always read changes list to be aware of new improvements and components. You should absolutely avoid using versions that are older than 3 versions before the last one.

Hope this will work for you.
You need latest JMeter first! Download here.
Check this tutorial on recording.
ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt can be found in JMETER_HOME/bin folder.
