Apache JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder not generating samples

Question

I am new to JMeter and have been following the steps outlined in usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf. I am using the Recording Controller. I have tried to connect to http://jmeter.apache.org/ per the steps outlined but no samples are generated.

I stopped the Proxy and confirmed that i could no longer load pages, so I am confident that I am connecting via the proxy.

Why are no samples being generated? I'm not seeing any errors...

Answer 1

Check following fields in Recorder:

• URL Patterns to Include

• URL Patterns to Exclude

• Content-Type Filter : Include, Exclude

If one of them contains wrong pattern or info, sampler will not be generated as JMeter will consider you exclude it.

Also check you don't have errors in jmeter.log
