getting error try to browse .jtl file with view results tree listener in jmeter 2.13 and 3.2 version

Question

I ran the Jmeter script in non-GUI mode with jmeter 3.2 version using the following command:

jmeter -n -t sample.jmx -Rxx.xx.xx.xx,xx.xx.xx.xx,xx.xx.xx.xx | tee -a /x/x/x/x/results.jtl

Now when I load the saved JTL file into View Results tree listener

the following error is throwing:

INFO - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: D:\\a\\b.jtl does not appear to have a valid header. Using default configuration.

WARN - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Creating summariser "

INFO - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: Creating summariser did not match yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS

INFO - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: Creating summariser did not match yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss

INFO - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: Creating summariser did not match yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS

INFO - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: Creating summariser did not match yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

INFO - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: Creating summariser did not match MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss

WARN - jmeter.save.CSVSaveService: Error parsing field 'timeStamp' at line 1 java.text.ParseException: No date-time format found matching Creating summariser

Answer 1

You are incorrectly running JMeter test, you should not be redirecting the output into a file, you need to provide path to results file via -l command-line option like:

jmeter -n -t sample.jmx -Rxx.xx.xx.xx,xx.xx.xx.xx,xx.xx.xx.xx -l /x/x/x/x/results.jtl

After your test finishes you will be able to open results.jtl file with the listener of your choice or generate HTML Reporting Dashboard from it.
