Parameterize JMeter HTTP request path

I'm creating JMeter tests for a service which context root may change depending on the host/environment. I'm trying to map the context root within the HTTP request path as follows:

Http request path

I've created a user defined variable as follows:

contextRoot user variable definition

I'm running my tests using jmeter-gradle-plugin and that's how I'm passing the context root as a command line parameter:

-PcontextRoot=/my-context-root

But I'm always getting 404 responses because JMeter is not replacing the variable with the parameter value as expected.

Any clue about what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Looking into Advanced Usage section JMeter Gradle Plugin seems to be supporting "normal" JMeter command-line arguments, therefore you should use -J argument instead of -P

J, --jmeterproperty {argument}={value}, Define additional JMeter properties

So substitute your -PcontextRoot=/my-context-root with -JcontextRoot=/my-context-root

References:

You can also omit this User Defined Variables and put your __P() function directly to the HTTP Request sampler path (or even better go for HTTP Request Defaults)
