Issue with latest version 2.2 - Extended CSV Data Config

[thangnguyen714]

If you used UI mode running remotely, test will pass

If you used CLI mode with option -G , test will hang. -G option run when you run CLI mode remotely connecting with a remote server.

here is an example:

jmeter -n ^
-t src/jmeter/MyTest_API.jmx ^
-GExecutionName=${params.ExecutionName} ^
-GAppURL=${params.AppURL} ^
-GEnvironmentName=${params.EnvironmentName} ^
-GVuser_01_Merchant=${params.Vuser_01_Merchant} ^
-GRampUpPeriod=${params.RampUpPeriod} ^
-GExecutionDuration=${env.ExecutionDuration} ^
-GDataPath=${env.DataPath} ^
-p src/jmeter/jmeterCustom.properties ^
-l results/AggregateResult.jtl ^
-e ^
-o results ^
-R ${env.JMETER_LGS_ALL}

PLEASE HELP. I really need this feature fix if possible.

Thank you.

If you run localhost using option -J the test will PASS. only -G will not work

jmeter -n ^
-t src/jmeter/MyTest_API.jmx ^
-JExecutionName=${params.ExecutionName} ^
-JAppURL=${params.AppURL} ^
-JEnvironmentName=${params.EnvironmentName} ^
-JVuser_01_Merchant=${params.Vuser_01_Merchant} ^
-JRampUpPeriod=${params.RampUpPeriod} ^
-JExecutionDuration=${env.ExecutionDuration} ^
-JDataPath=${env.DataPath} ^
-p src/jmeter/jmeterCustom.properties ^
-l results/AggregateResult.jtl ^
-e ^
-o results

The above test PASS

Hi @thangnguyen714

Thanks for raising this issue..
Can you please share a sample testplan, jmeter.log from your master and slaves
Also, can you confirm the plugin is available on your remote machine ?

Do you find any explicit exceptions been thrown on your run ?

Also, what is your test environment setup and how you want to run - can you please explain on that as well, as your explanation is not very clear (at least to me)

Hi @rollno748

here are the steps that you can take to reproduce.

• both version of JMeter-5.6.3 with 'extended csv data config' version 2.2 are in both master1 and slave1 machines. Make sure that both data file on the same path for master1 and slave1 machines.

Step 1:

• Create a master1 and slave1 machine env. Make sure machine1 and slave1 talk to each other via port 1099. Create a simple script (myscript.jmx) using 'extended csv data config" version 2.2. From JMeter GUI, Open myscript.jmx script. Run test through remote distribution connecting to slave1. you can see that option under menu "Run > Remote Start" and pick a remote slave1. make sure that your test run successfully. Your script should have 1 variable at the test plan level like

• ExecutionName = ${__P(ExecutionName,BaselineTest)}

Step 2:

• from the master1 machine, launch dos as administrator. Running in CLI mode > Execute your test using -G and -R option.

Example:

jmeter -n -t myscript.jmx -GExecutionName=EPS_Baseline -R slave1

slave1 = remote machine name or IP address

• NOTE: Execution would hang with no movement

If you run from the master1 machine using -J option shown below, test would pass.

jmeter -n -t myscript.jmx -JExecutionName=EPS_Baseline

Thank you for your support.

NOTE: "Extended CSV Data Config" is one of the most used element in Performance Testing.

Hi @thangnguyen714

Thanks for your response.
The command line argument -G or -J is a jmeter core (component) feature to override properties within the test.

It has nothing to do with the plugin. It could be a bug with the JMeter itself. I can confirm it, if you could run the test with debug mode enabled and share the jmeter.log file (from master and slave).

To set the logging level to debug

jmeter -n -t myscript.jmx -GExecutionName=EPS_Baseline -R slave1 -Ljmeter.engine=DEBUG
