适用于MySQL的JDBC连接器在JMeter中不起作用

Question

As per the problems this person was having; JDBC Connector not working

I'm running Debian 9.1
I installed Java via the package manager
I added Java to the path in /etc/config & added JAVA_HOME to the path in /etc/environment
I then installed jmeter via the package manager
I then downloaded the mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar and copied this to /usr/share/jmeter/lib

But after all this, I still dont get the JDBC connection option under Add->Config Element within JMeter, nor do i get any options for JDBC within JMeter.

Can anyone help me as to what im doing wrong?

While I am new to JMeter, I have successfully run simple "Hello World" HTTP requests queried from a PHP Script & a NodeJS script so far.

Update
Added JMeter log by request
Jmeter log

Answer 1

I have no idea what the problem was with Jmeter on my Debian machine... (as prior to this I was trying to use it on Ubuntu Server, and it had the same issue as Debian);

But anyway, I just installed the Oracle JDK & JMeter for Windows, on my old Windows 7 laptop, dropped in the JDBC connector to the lib directory - & immediately it had the option for 'JDBC Connection', which never appeared on either the Ubuntu or Debian installs.

So if anyone else runs into this issue on Ubuntu or Debian ~ I might suggest trying a Windows 7 VM for running it.

Note here This was the JMeter I installed on Windows (I didn't get it from Apache): JMeter for Windows

Answer 2

For some reason I cannot find JMeter JDBC components either in Debian or in Ubuntu repositories, maybe it wasn't included by maintainers.

So instead of installing JMeter using package manager you can just download the latest JMeter version (which is JMeter 3.2 as of now while in repositories you have much older versions, 2.11/2.13) from the official website. JMeter is pure Java-based application so all you will need to do in order to be able to use it is to install Java 8 or above .

Alternative option would be downloading jmeter-jdbc JAR appropriate to your JMeter version and dropping it under /usr/share/jmeter/lib/ext folder (super-user privileges might be required), this way you will get JDBC test elements.
