Ho to use Module Controller from Test Fragment loaded with Include Controller in Jemter

I want to use reusable elements across my Jmeter scripts.

I’ve got Include Controllers which load Test Fragments – for user journeys or common actions.

Test Fragment can still contain some repeatable elements. I was thinking about using Module Controller to reuse small elements in it. Module Controller works fine when I have it in my Test Script.

But when I try to use Module Controller in Test Fragment which will be included it returns me such error: 

Error occurred starting thread group […] Module Controller has no selected Controller

It looks to me as Jmeter’s limitation.

Is there a way of using Module Controller within included Test Fragment? Or maybe I could use some better way for elements reusability.

your link states: When using Test Fragment with Module Controller, ensure you disable the Test Fragment to avoid the execution of Test Fragment itself. This is done by default since JMeter 2.13. – user7294900
Disabling Test Fragment that is being included doesn't help in this situation unfortunately. My problem is that when you have Test Fragment in the other file - which you include to your test script, then Module Controller from that Test Fragment can't find element that it uses – Michal
Just stating It's a known Jmeter’s limitation in manual – user7294900
I tried to use Module Controller within Test Fragment on JMeter 3.1, and had no problem, Module Controller within Test Fragment is triggered as expected. So can you share your configuration? – Kiril S.
Hi @KirilS. I know it is an old question but I am using JMeter 4.0 and I cannot use Module controller within fragment. does anyone know if there is a solution for this? – Octtavius

You cannot use Module Controller pointing to test fragment in Included scripts through Include Controller if I correctly understand question.

It's a limitation and is not anyway correctly displayed in UI.
