JMeter not running in ANT

Question

I am struggling to understand the issue but unable to figure out. Here is my issue.

I have ANT_HOME , JMeter and Jenkins which are all in C: drive . When I run my project .jmx file using ant it works fine. Here I have put all my ANT configuration under \\extras folder. However if i copy the same set up into Jenkins then below jmeter element in build.xml is not being executed.

  <jmeter jmeterhome="${jmeter.home}" testplan ="${testpath}/${test}.jmx" resultlog="${logpath}/${test}.xml"> <!-- <jvmarg value="-Xincgc"/> <jvmarg value="-Xmx128m"/> <jvmarg value="-Dproperty=value"/> <jmeterarg value="-qextra.properties"/> --> <!-- Force suitable defaults --> <property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format" value="xml"/> <property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results" value="all"/> <property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes" value="true"/> <property name="file_format.testlog" value="${format}"/> <property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error" value="${funcMode}"/> </jmeter> </target> 

Please find more details of the location

ANT_HOME = C:\\apache-ant-1.9.11 ANT in JMeter path (this is running perfectly) = C:\\Jmeter\\apache-jmeter-4.0\\extras ANT in Jenkins path (issue) = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Jenkins\\workspace\\JMeter_Run\\apache-jmeter-4.0\\extras

Below is the full build.xml snippet which is not working.

Answer 1

Finally I spotted out the issue. Here is the solution I found.

Jenkins will look after build.xml in the workspace and not any sub folders. The same path should be configured in the Jenkins->Job->Configure->ANT build path

All supporting lib and bin folder should be in workspace without creating any sub folder
