Answer 1

I know the question is old but I went through the same problem and found no solutions. Then I analyzed the source code of JMeter and I leave here the solution for other people who go through it.

In my case when I created a test plan, by default it was disabled.

After I enabled the test plan (right click -> enable) it started working!

Answer 2

Code is: (failed in testTree.getArray()[0])

 HashTree testTree = gui.getTreeModel().getTestPlan();

 JMeter.convertSubTree(testTree);
        if(threadGroupsToRun != null && threadGroupsToRun.length>0) {
            removeThreadGroupsFromHashTree(testTree, threadGroupsToRun);
        }


 testTree.add(testTree.getArray()[0], gui.getMainFrame());

It seems that test plan is empty.

can you check G:\official\JMeter\apache-jmeter-3.1\bin\Cafyne_3.0.jmx

maybe file wasn't copied ok
