JMeter - Unable to stop / shutdown

0
votes

I have a very simple test plan in JMeter. There is just one thread group with one get request. ( I created this to isolate an issue which I faced in another real world test plan)

I was trying to increase the load and analyse the result.

While reaching a point, say 5000 users, JMeter does not stop.

I was unable to manually stop or shutdown. While trying to do so, the following message is displayed. But there is no response after that even though I waited.

It says you can see the active number of threads in the upper right hand side, but I can see that there are no active threads.

If I go to task manager to end the task, the same pop up message is displayed in JMeter and hence I am not able to end the task.

Please can someone advise on why I am getting this message when I could not see active threads in JMeter UI. enter image description here

You're violating one of the most important JMeter best practices: GUI mode is only for tests development and/or debugging

If you want to execute your load test with 5000 virtual users you should be running JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode like:

jmeter -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/result.jtl

Once your test finishes you can open the result.jtl file with the Listener of your choice or generate HTML Reporting Dashboard from it
