Test Fragment not executing Timers or Sample Timeout

I add in JMeter Test Fragment with Sample Timeout and Timers but without any Samplers.

I add a Module controller using this Test Fragment in Thread Group with Samplers in same hierarchy (before and after, also HTTP samplers).

I expected that the Timers and Sample Timeout will work on every Sample in scope but no timeout/delay is been done,

Also I notice that Sampler can be a child of Module controller but it won't be executed (or Timers).

It seems like a bug, but maybe there are scoping rules I missed?

  • Other Pre Processor as User Parameters are working so I wonder why timeout is ignored.

Your issue is indeed due to scoping rules.

Your Test Fragment is like a Controller, all elements it contains are applied to its scope. Since it doesn't contain any sampler here, neither the timer nor the other pre/post processor run.

Note that ability of adding such useless elements will be removed in upcoming 4.0 version:
