Can you add sample documentation for adding a 3rd party jars to Jmeter?

I am experimenting with your "gradle jmeter" plugin here: https://github.com/djangofan/run-jmeter-with-plugins-via-build-tools

In the above link, I am able to add groovy-all.jar (v.2.4.0) , opencsv.jar (v3.1), etc., as well as control the specific versions of the 3rd party plugins used by Jmeter, when I use Maven runner to load the dependencies.

I am trying to do the same with your Gradle plugin but I am unable to figure out how to get Jmeter to pick up the dependencies specified in the build.gradle, and even more importantly, I am unable to override the default version of groovy that you include "under the hood" by specifying a newer version of groovy in the Gradle dependencies.

None of this is an issue when using the Maven Jmeter plugin. Can you help?

You can add 3rd party jars to jmeter with the user.classpath property. Semi-colon separated jar files in windows, colon separated in linux.

• Single jar file: user.classpath=/Projects/pathToJar/test1.jar
• Multiple jar files: user.classpath=/Projects/pathToJar/test1.jar;/Projects/pathToJar/test2.jar
• A folder: user.classpath=/Projects/pathToJars

Probably the simplest way to add the user.classpath property to this plugin is to create a user.properties file containing user.classpath and add the following to your gradle build script:

jmeterRun.configure{
    jmeterPropertyFile = file("/pathTo/user.properties")
}

Note: The third folder option only works in the newer versions of jmeter. I know for certain, it works in 2.13 and does not work in 2.9, I haven't really tried the ones in between. If you want to use this plugin with jmeter 2.13, checkout my fork of this project.

Thanks for the fork. :-) In your fork, do you have a way to update the Jmeter plugin packs to version 1.2.1 ?

[foragerr]

Sorry, I am not familiar with the plugin packs. If you just downloaded jmeter binaries, what do you need to change to support plugin pack 1.2.1?

[djangofan]

The plugins are just simple Maven dependencies: http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|jmeter-plugins . I just couldn't figure out where to specify those dependencies in the Kulya launcher. After you add the dependencies for 1.2.1, you should see the "RemoteWebDriver" sampler , among many others show up in the Sampler menu.

https://github.com/kulya/jmeter-gradle-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/com/github/kulya/gradle/plugins/jmeter/JmeterAbstractTask.groovy#L118

This line says you should be able to define jmeterPluginJars property in the build.gradle file. Not entirely sure what value this property takes.

Edit: looks like list of jar-filenames : List<String> jmeterPluginJars;

@djangofan Can you close this issue please?

Ok, I will fork the project , make the doc change myself, and submit a pull request instead.
