I want to display Jmeter results via html. the html dashboard is not informative enough, so I want to use the ant solution.

  • I installed ant as expected
  • I took my testplan.jmx and copy it to C:\Jmeter_4.0\apache-jmeter-4.0\extras
  • I changet the testplan.jmx to Test.jtl
  • I entered to cmd cd C:\Jmeter_4.0\apache-jmeter-4.0\extras
  • I entered ant and press enter

the test plan always take 20 minutes and in ant 12 second that is very stange since I have delay of 15 minutes. I opened Test.html and instead of seeing results I saw the test plan as xml. and jmeter not start or even worked. what I am missing , why ant not runnung the testplan. the results is not even html see picenter image description here

You need to rename your file to Test.jmx, not to Test.jtl.

If there is a Test.jtl file already there - you will need to delete it as by default JMeter Ant Task will add new results into existing Test.jtl file which is not something you should be looking for.

There is another option: you can generate Ant-style HTML report from .jtl results file.

  1. Execute your script "normally" in non-GUI mode like:

    jmeter -n -t testplan.jmx -l Test.jtl
  2. Copy Test.jtl file to "extras" folder of your JMeter installation
  3. Execute ant xslt-report command.
  4. That's it, you should see the results in HTML form as Test.html file
