JMeter 3.0 Report Generation - Why is my report dashboard blank?

Question

I am new to JMeter, and I'm trying to get JMeter to produce the html report dashboard for an existing test script. I do not get any exceptions in processing, and the log indicates no issues generating the reports:

However, when I view the produced index.html file, there is no data:

The result.csv file is not empty though:

My reportgenerator and saveservice config is:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Reporting configuration
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you want to debug reporting, uncomment this line
log_level.jmeter.report=DEBUG
jmeter.reportgenerator.report_title=AMP JMeter-test Dashboard
jmeter.reportgenerator.overall_granularity=6000
jmeter.reportgenerator.temp_dir = /tmp
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Results file configuration
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv
# assertion_results_failure_message only affects CSV output
jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results_failure_message=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results=all
#jmeter.save.saveservice.data_type=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.label=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true

jmeter.save.saveservice.response_message=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.successful=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_name=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.time=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.subresults=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.assertions=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=ms
jmeter.save.saveservice.default_delimiter=,
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true

csvread.delimiter=,

I have tried to search for similar problems (here and elsewhere), but I cannot find anything that addresses such a situation. The results are being written and populated in the CSV file in the format I expect, but something seems to go wrong in reading the data. If I can at least get the Errors and Result Summary parts populated I would be happy at this point.

I have noticed in the log (contained in the snippet), that there are a lot of 0 samples reported for different things...but I think I only care about the CsvFileSampleSource, which it correctly identifies as having 800-something samples...

Also, I run my test like:

jmeter -n -t /path/to/my/amp_automation.jmx -l /tmp/result.csv -e -o /tmp/jmeter

Any insight would be appreciated, I may jut be missing something here. I ideally do not want to revert to the "older" ways of getting html reports generated for jmeter (with ant, or other listeners etc.)

Thank you!

I had similar issue. I realized that I used double quotes as one of the HTTP request name in the .jtl report. I removed double quotes from jtl, regenerated the dashboard. It worked like a charm!.
