JMeter - Exception when using Beanshell as JSR223 Sampler with file

Question

I have a file with simple JSR223 code:

log.info("Hello JSR223")

When I choose Beanshell as language in JSR223 Sampler I get the following exception:

2018-06-21 10:32:28,148 ERROR o.a.j.p.j.s.JSR223Sampler: Problem in JSR223 script JSR223 Sampler, message: javax.script.ScriptException: In file: eval stream Encountered "<EOF>" at line 2, column 24.

Same code work without file by adding to Script field

If you use Beanshell you need to stick to Java SE 5.0 syntax to wit your statement needs to end with semicolon, amend it to look like:

log.info("Hello JSR223");
//                      ^ this is uber important

and your script should start working as expected.

Be aware that starting from JMeter 3.1 it is recommended to use Groovy language for scripting mainly because Groovy has much better performance comparing to Beanshell so I would suggest keeping "Language" as groovy, in this case the semicolon is not necessary.
