Probably Not a Bug

[Alan Tan <AT...@webroot.com>]

Hello Developers,

I have a question regarding throughput controllers in Jmeter. I've read all the documentation I can find as well as Stackoverflow and I can't seem to find anyone with my issue, which leads me to believe I must be doing something wrong. For the past few projects I've noticed that the throughput controller will cause a "uncaught exception: Stackoverflow" error in Jmeter. It's a bit inconsistent to produce but it happens often enough with my project that I'm concerned. I've also checked the jmeter log and "StackOverflowError: null" is as specific as it gets.

I have the throughput controller set to limit total samples executed for a thread group. For example, I only want 100K total samples for each thread group and I have 8 thread groups. In each thread group is a very simple post request with variables read from CSV file, and only contain two assertions to make sure it's a valid post request (OK stsmsg and 200 code). I at first believed that this issue popped up from the throughput controller suddenly killing all threads after it reaches the quota, I try verifying this with 3 users and a throughput of 5 requests total. And I had a similar "stackoverflowerror" as mentioned previously.

I'd appreciate some clarity on what could be causing this uncaught exception.

Hi
whats the stack trace ?
if you arent using any plugins etc then you might want to file a bug with a
sample that replicates the problem
