Problem with relative paths
Hello
I have a problem with relative paths.
I read in other posts
(http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/Relative-Path-Issue-td523826.html#a523827
) that JMeter looks up relative files based on the current working
directory.
But in my case, it doesn't seem to work, it seems to start at my C:\
I need to send a file (test01.jpg) in an http request. The only way it works
is if I put the image in C:\ and put "/test01.jpg" in the filepath field.
Is there any way to make it relative to the jmx file or the jmeter.bat file?
Thank you.

You may want to try and open a DOS prompt, navigate to the folder
containing your jmx file and launch jmeter from there.
Alternatively, you could possibly manipulate Windows's executable
options for Jmeter to use the working dir you want, but I'm not
proficient enough with Windows to elaborate on that.
HTH,

That is the case for any Java application, not just JMeter.

What is the evidence for this failure?

This would require special processing of file names, for example as in:
Bug 43389 - Allow Include files to be found relative to the current JMX file
This has not been implemented for generic file lookup, as it might
cause existing tests to fail.
But it might be worth making it an optional feature (e.g. via a JMeter
property which defaults to false) in a future release.
Note also that you can define a variable on the test plan and use it
in conjunction with file names.
e.g.
BASEDIR = ../abc/def/
and use it as:
${BASEDIR}filename.txt
