Java – I can’t run jmeter test files using Java code in my Maven project

I can’t run jmeter test files using Java code in my Maven project… here is a solution to the problem.

I can’t run jmeter test files using Java code in my Maven project

I run a .jmx file using JMeter java code in my maven project. I recorded a .jmx file using blazemeter. Please quote the following code I tried.

package com.solitera.automation.controller;

import org.apache.jmeter.engine.StandardJMeterEngine;
import org.apache.jmeter.save.SaveService;
import org.apache.jmeter.util.JMeterUtils;
import org.apache.jorphan.collections.HashTree;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class JMeterFromExistingJMX {

public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
         JMeter Engine
        StandardJMeterEngine jmeter = new StandardJMeterEngine();

 Initialize Properties, logging, locale, etc.
        JMeterUtils.loadJMeterProperties("D:/apache-jmeter-5.1.1/bin/jmeter.properties");
        JMeterUtils.setJMeterHome("D:/apache-jmeter-5.1.1");
        JMeterUtils.initLogging();// you can comment this line out to see extra log messages of i.e. DEBUG level
        JMeterUtils.initLocale();

 Initialize JMeter SaveService
        SaveService.loadProperties();

 Load existing .jmx Test Plan
       /* FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("D:/Ecllipse_project_workspace2/slt_automation/src/test/jmeter/slt_autoMa_Test.jmx");
        HashTree testPlanTree = SaveService.loadTree(in);
        in.close(); */

HashTree testPlanTree = SaveService.loadTree(new File("D:/apache-jmeter-5.1.1/extras/slt_autoMa_Test.jmx"));

 Run JMeter Test
        jmeter.configure(testPlanTree);
        jmeter.run();
    }

}

After running as a Java application in eclipse, -> output is:

Solution

From the error you get, it looks like your test is using HTTP Header Manager And you don’t have ApacheJMeter_http provide such packages.

The temporary solution is to add the next Maven dependency to your pom.xml:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.jmeter/ApacheJMeter_http -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.jmeter</groupId>
    <artifactId>ApacheJMeter_http</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.1</version>
</dependency>

I also recommend removing these httpcore and xstream dependencies from your pom.xml as Maven will treat them as transitive dependencies acquisition. JMeter core and HTTP packets.

Depending on the nature of your testing, you may need other packages, JMeter plugins, so it’s hard to say what else you need.
