In Docker Jmeter HTML Report is not generating

Question

The issue is Container stopped after docker completing the Jmeter hit.

Docker File last Line :

• CMD jmeter -n -t Get_Ping_Node_API.jmx -l .csv -e -o Get_Ping_Node_API2.html

Running:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/sumit/docker-jmeter$ docker exec -it 3f2092a9895d bash Error response from daemon: Container 3f2092a9895d881b97459af9f9c7982e06c696d1b0d4dc1484ee9dd75a3368ee is not running ubuntu@ubuntu:~/sumit/docker-jmeter$

Answer 1

You're misinterpreting command line options:

As per this documentation:

• http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/generating-dashboard.html

Parameter following -o should be a folder, you have put a file, it should be:

-o OUTPUT_FOLDER

Parameter following -l should be a csv file, you have put .csv which is only a suffix

It should be:

-l results.csv

Answer 2

Your JMeter execution line is not very correct, you should amend it like:

CMD jmeter -n -t Get_Ping_Node_API.jmx -l result .csv -e -o Get_Ping_Node_API2

1. -l command line argument assumes file where results will be stored, you cannot leave the filename empty
2. -o command-line argument assumes folder where the dashboard will be generated, you should remove .html extension from it

Example Dockerfile you can use as a basis, it executes Test.jmx file from JMeter's "extras" folder, feel free to amend it as required to kick off your own test plan:
