jmeter ant - varrying threads/loop

[Mark Lybarger <ma...@wideopenwest.com>]

ok, i checked the FAQ, and found information on this.  When i specify my 
loops
and threads as:

<property xml:space="preserve"
propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty"
name="LoopController.loops">${__P(group1.loop,1)}</property>

<property xml:space="preserve"
propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty"
name="ThreadGroup.num_threads">${__P(group1.threads,1)}</property>

and i run the ant task, i get a JMeterResults.jtl file that is not well 
formed
xml. the file contains only:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testResults>

if i change the data in the element above to 1, then i get back valid 
results.
any suggestions here?   from the FAQ, jmeter should use the default value
even if i don't specify one via ant.  i did have troubles using the 
recommended

-Jgroup1.threads=12

through an ant jvmargs sub element to the jmeter task.  and it doesn't 
support
nested args elements.

ideas? suggestions?

Subject: jmeter ant - varrying threads/loop

i'm using jmeter 1.9.1, with the included ant integration.  i'd like to be
able to vary the # of threads and # of loops via the ant script.  the older
documentation for the ant task seemed to allow something like:
<jmeter jmeterhome="/cbc/jakarta-jmeter-1.9.1"
resultlog="./loadtests/JMeterResults.jtl">
     <testplans dir="./loadtests" includes="*.jmx" />
     <property name="request.threads" value="${test.threads}"/>
     <property name="request.loop" value="${test.loop}"/>
   </jmeter>

to give the threads/loops properties.  yes, my test plan has specified loop
properties, but i'd like to override those.  the 1.9.1 version of the 
ant task
doesn't allow nested properties.  does anyone know a good way to vary the
threads/loops via ant?  i'd like to archive the results off such as:

<move file="${basedir}/loadtests/JMeterResults.html"
tofile="${basedir}/loadtests/JMeterResults-${test.threads}-${test.loop}-${timestamp}.html"/> 


so i know by looking at the file itself what the test variances were during
the execution.

thanks!
