How to couple JMeter with Jenkins?

Question

I'm trying to setup Jenkins on my laptop to run JMeter scripts. I have setup the job on the localhost also added the plugin required in JMeter. My window batch command looks like:

C:\apache-jmeter-3.0\bin\jmeter.bat -n -t C:\Users\delhivery\Desktop\Create.jmx -l C:\Users\delhivery\Desktop\Created.jtl

The build is getting executed successfully but the script doesn't actually get executed. The console output displays this message:

'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Not able to find Java executable or version. Please check your Java installation.

Answer 1

JMeter startup script checks for Java version using Findstr program. On "normal" Windows installation the Findstr program should exist in C:\Windows\System32 directory therefore it should be on your system PATH.

So if you fix this issue by either fixing your system PATH or copying the findstr.exe file to the "bin" folder of your Java or JMeter installation you should be in position to run your JMeter test.

Detailed steps on Jenkins build configuration you can find in the Continuous Integration 101: How to Run JMeter With Jenkins article.

Answer 2

By seeing the given error, issue might be in your java environment variable configuration. When running jmeter.bat in command prompt manually without Jenkins, is it working?

In Jenkins, We can configure any batch or shell script and can schedule the job.

We can execute the Jmeter script in two ways:

With the setup of job by configuring the project by running batch command. In this case no need of the plugin.

Create a freestyle project. Configure the batch command.
