Test Duration

[Stuart Barlow <st...@gmail.com>]

Hi. Is there a way to define the duration a test should run via the 
command line?

Is there a JMeter property available? Then it could be set using the -J 
command line option

-J[prop_name]=[value]
  defines a local JMeter property.

Sorry if this was asked before.

Thanks

Stuart

Other than using specific times in the scheduler, not really.

I got around this in the past by

- calculating the average runtime of the user journey (12 minutes in this example)
- include all contents of the thread group inside a loop controller, this is the only direct child of the threadgroup
- have a set up thread group and beanshell script
- that script calculates the run length by dividing a property that can be passed on the command line (eg. -Jrunlenth) by the average runtime
- pass this value back to a property (eg. prop.put("runloops" , (props.get("runlength")*60)/12))
- the loop controller uses the runloops property

However if you are not bothered about terminating a thread part way through just use a scheduling tool such as "at" to kill the process.

I use a customised jmeter start up script that is used to start jmeter, write the new pid out to file and stop jmeter using the pid file.

There is quite a lot of jmeter limitations that can be done using shell scripting, including multiple jmeter-server instances and masters running on a single box for multiple script concurrent execution. Might be worth a look at writing something yourself.

Issue fixed now with non regression tests added.
Tests of nightly (available on Jenkins in 15 minutes) and feedback welcome :
http://jmeter.apache.org/nightly.html

Thanks

Hello,
Note that as of current nightly build, there remain a "problem" with Test
Action.
If it is set in Pause mode with a duration that will last beyond test end,
this is not detected.
I opened bug:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60797

Regarding timers, this has been fixed in 3.1:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60049

Philippe

Sounds interesting. Is there a chance we get "bug reports" about samplers
that were not written ? (those ones ?)

Maybe we could tell the listeners to ignore anything after the scheduler 
says the test is finished. That way we would get not errors by 
interrupting the "stuck" samplers.

It does interrupt them since 3.1 I think it not 3.0.
This bug was fixed.

yes, that seems correct to me.
Intereupting them would lead to a high error rate on last samples.
But you can force a stop if you want.

Yes for timeout.
No more for timers.

If you still experience issues in 3.1, please raise a bugzilla bug so that
we fix it.
Attach a sample test plan and be as precise as possible.

Yes, I falled into it myself when using Throughput timer, that's why it was
fixed.
Unfortunately we cannot fix bugs we're not aware of :)

RE: Test Duration

[Stuart Kenworthy <St...@bjss.com>]

Many people are still using 2.13 which Is why I mentioned it.

However there is still a potential problem, duration does not interrupt timers or test action waits.

Also if you have samplers that are currently awaiting a response, it waits until the response before terminating.

This means if you have a 10 minute wait, via timer or test action, in your test plan and one if the threads is in the timer or test action, or your sampler is currently waiting to timeout, you have to wait for that to finish after the duration ends.

I understand this is by design and is also present in the UI but it does cause problems when running real world user journeys.

Not a major problem but something a lot of people fall into.

Hello,
The methods described by Antonio and Sebb work perfectly well.
If you have any issue, please provide more details and an example test plan.

No need to switch to old 2.13 for this.

[Sergio Boso <se...@bosoconsulting.it>]

Re: Test Duration

[Antonio Gomes Rodrigues <ra...@gmail.com>]

Put ${__P(RUNTIME,100) in the "Thread Group" element in "Duration
(seconds)" input

And when you run JMeter, use -JRUNTIME=99 in the command line

Instead of 99, put the desired test duration in seconds

And how would this be used to control run time within the script itself?

Simpler to use a property reference, for example:

${__P(RUNTIME,100)

Then use -JRUNTIME=99 on the command line

Hi,

Put a JMeter variable in the "Thread Group" element in "Duration (seconds)"
input

And use -J command line option to define it

Re: Test Duration

[Bo Bodnar <bb...@us.ibm.com>]

This is exactly the problem that came up in our test organization.  We
couldn't figure it out (running jmeter for a specified time from the
command line) so, our solution is to have a shell script start jmeter and,
after the required time, calls shutdown.sh.  The whole thing works using
nohup and works like a charm.

Hi. Is there a way to define the duration a test should run via the
command line?

Is there a JMeter property available? Then it could be set using the -J
command line option

-J[prop_name]=[value]
  defines a local JMeter property.

Sorry if this was asked before.

Thanks

Stuart
