How can we create .jmx file without using GUI ?
Hi,
I have installed Jmeter on my ubuntu machine which doesnt have UI enabled.
I know I can run jmeter on CLI but I would need to create the .jmx file for
running the shell script/command which I want to test.
Any sample .jmx fle which can run a command on shell will be helpful. I can
make appropriate changes to it as per my environment.
Thanks for the help !

I have created many jmeter scripts using the GUI then created bash scripts to run them headless. Occasionally using sed to modify them on the fly when I couldn't get what I wanted just through parameters.
Writing a jmx file from scratch strikes me as the really hard way to go.

Re: How can we create .jmx file without using GUI ?
Posted by Sheetal Jharia Baru <sh...@gmail.com>.
Hi ,
I finally got UI enabled on ubuntu, created the test plan using UI and
executed it using CLI. This worked !
I am using OS Sampler to execute a shell script on my local system. This
script in turn downloads a image from remote repository. As expected , when
the script is run multiple times, same image is downloaded. Is there a way
that each thread can download a different image (can image become some sort
of variable and I can give different names to this variable for each
thread) ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks !

I move test plans between OSX and Windows regularly without issue. That is
a significant version difference. Come up to latest on Ubuntu. Check you
JRE versions are reasonable too. Should work assuming nothing platform
special in your test plan.

Hi Mark,
I did the same. On my windows installed jmeter and created the test plan
using OS Sampler.
I then transferred the .jmx file to my ubuntu system and ran the command
"jmeter -n -t /root/testDock.jmx -l testresult.jtl" and get this error:
*Error in NonGUIDriver java.lang.NullPointerException*
Could it be because I have slightly different versions on Win and Ubunbtu?
Win : 2.13 r1665067
Ubuntu : Version 2.8.20130705
Thanks for your help.

Posted by Mark Miller <ma...@gmail.com>.
It seems more practical, to me, to develop your test plan in an environment
where you have the support of the UI. Then move your test plan (.jmx) to
the ubuntu machine and invoke that test with -n (headless) and the other
logging params etc. so that you can review your results from that context.
I'm sure it's possible to initiate a jmx file without the benefit of the
UI, but you'd only approach doing so from a place of general mastery with
JMeter (my opinion).
Hope that helps.

Why not use the OS Sampler?

Here is a quick one I just created.
