Failed to create component for 'insert'

[AntonioSun]

I got Failed to create component for 'insert'. Here is the way to replicate the problem:

• Copy the script.groovy from structure to structure-2 folder as-is.
• structure-2 is parallel to structure folder
• script.groovy works in the structure folder just fine, but
• For script.groovy under structure-2 to refer to structure, I made a simple change, to replace all insert 'fragments/xxx' as insert '../structure/fragments/xxx', but groovy-jmeter just cannot handle it any more:

Hi, this is mostly because the main source for the insert is the script classpath which is folder where you execute the script. You can workaround it by adding structure folder to your class path e.g.:

groovy -cp ../structure script.groovy

Assuming the structure folder has fragments folder you don't need to change insert you can leave it as it was. Means the insert 'fragments/xxx'

Thanks!
