Non gui way to record test plans

[timo13 <ti...@hdm-i.com>]

Hi guys,

I'm new to JMeter and want to use it to dynamically produce and run test
plans. To run existing test plans is no problem, either generating test
plans with the gui. But I want to use it in an (ant) script, so I need a way
to start and stop the recording from commandline. Is that possible? My task
is to produce test cases from the base of selenium tests, which are
continuous updated and I don't won't to start the gui manually every time a
change occurs.

Thank you in advance,

Timo

Sorry...

I think you're right ;)

I'll do so...

Thx

I did not say it was not possible.

But of course it would need to be coded and tested and documented.

That's potentially a lot of work for what seems to me to be a fairly
narrow user-base compared with other possible enhancements.

But feel free to create a Bugzilla enhancement request.
If patches (code, test, docn) are provided then it will happen quicker.

Hmmm... thats bad... I mean, the functionality is already there... where is
the problem to give the user
an interface to start records from commandline?

I don't think thats an easy part of scripting, because both files works a
totally different way... So I'm not able to do the scripting ;)

>Maybe someone has already done that?

No search results :(

But thanks for quick answer,

Timo

No, it's not possible.

If you are adept at scripting, you may be able to convert the selenium
tests directly into JMX files - assuming that the selenium scripts are
readable.

Maybe someone has already done that?
