jtl file is not getting parsed in jenkins for jmeter

Question

I am trying to run the jmeter test from Jenkins. I've already installed performance plugin and restarted the jenkins. I don't want to use any maven/ant.

Execute shell command

 cd /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/jobs/meineTui-QA-Test-Jmeter/workspace 
 java -jar /Users/Shared/Jenkins/apache-jmeter/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar  -n -t Login_Logout.jmx -l result.jtl

In the post build actions of jenkin-> publish performance test result report -> jmeter -> report files -> **/*.jtl

While I am running from jenkin the console says

 Performance: Failed to parse /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/jobs/meineTui-QA-Test-Jmeter/builds/2013-10-03_17-14-53/performance-reports/JMeter/result.jtl: Content is not allowed in prolog.

So I am not able view the result/report in the performance Report section. Any suggestion how to fix.

Now I am able to parse it. My silly mistake. jmeter.properties file I changed as below # legitimate values: xml, csv, db. Only xml and csv are currently supported. jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml jmeter.save.saveservice.data_type=true jmeter.save.saveservice.label=true jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true jmeter.save.saveservice.successful=true jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_name=true — asinha

make the following changes in the jmeter.properties file:

remove the comment from the following line and change csv by xml

#jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv

like this:

jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml

remove the (#) comment from the following lines:

jmeter.save.saveservice.data_type=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.label=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true

jmeter.save.saveservice.successful=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_name=true

And change the extension of the file to be generate jtl to xml.

jenkins configuration
