Error on running Jmeter script through CLI

Question

JMeter Folder: C:\Jmeter\apache-jmeter-5.1.1\bin Script Folder: C:\Users\supra\OneDrive\Documents
JMeter Script Name: Google Home.jmx

While I am trying to execute Jmeter script named Google Home through cmd I am facing below error:

C:\Jmeter\apache-jmeter-5.1.1\bin>jmeter -n -t C:\Users\supra\OneDrive\Documents"Google Home.jmx" An error occurred: Unknown arg: Home.jmx errorlevel=1 Press any key to continue . . .

If I change script name "Google Home.jmx" to "Google.jmx", it is running successfully. Kindly help.

Answer 1

Either surround the path with quotation marks like:

jmeter -n -t "C:\Users\supra\OneDrive\Documents\Google Home.jmx" 

or use URL-like encoding:

jmeter -n -t C:\Users\supra\OneDrive\Documents\Google%20Home.jmx

Also consider:

• Upgrading to the latest version of JMeter (5.4.1 as of now), you're supposed to be using the latest version of JMeter according to JMeter Best Practices and recommendations from the 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure article

• I believe you will also need test results for later analysis in listeners or via HTML Reporting Dashboard so consider adding -l command like argument:

  jmeter -n -t "C:\Users\supra\OneDrive\Documents\Google Home.jmx" -l c:\somefolder\results.jtl
