jmeter property expansion not working with maven artifacts

running jmeter 2.13 on java 1.7

I have a test case that consists of simple groovy script sampler that takes one parameter specified as ${__P(var,foo)} and printlns args[0]. I can download apache jmeter 2.13 and run the test case and as expected it prints out "foo". However if I build jmeter using the maven artifacts the same .jmx test case outputs " ${__P(var,foo)}". So it seems it is not recognizing the parameter as a variable. My pom file follows:

Most likely you have some packaging issue, it is not something which is connected with JMeter or Maven as I cannot reproduce your issue using JMeter Maven Plugin

So maybe it worth considering switching to that plugin instead of triggering a JMeter test manually as you may miss an important configuration step.

Ok, found the answer. I was using the appassembler plugin. That places all the jars into the classpath. I was relying on that for jmeter to find its plugins. I moved the plugins to a separate directory and set the search_paths jmeter property to that directory i.e

search_paths=../apache

This not only fixed the problem with the properties not resolving but also with the GUI not running.

An error occurred: No action handlers found - check JMeterHome and libraries

Note just adding the appassembler generated lib directory did not work. The following error occured in that case:

An error occurred: class "org.bouncycastle.cms.BaseDigestCalculator"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
