Unable to execute .jmx script using bzt command

[Uttam]

Hi,

I am new to this Taurus tool. I am exploring new testing solutions. I am familiar with Jmeter. After reading about Taurus I had decided to give it a try. Therefore, I had installed Taurus in my system.

I already had jmeter available in my system. I tried running one simple .jmx script using the bzt command but got the error 'failed to create process'. I suppose I am doing something wrong. Can you tell me whether I can run a script present in a separate Jmeter/bin folder using the bzt command of Taurus. Or do I need to follow some other procedures to run the jmeter scripts. I have installed plus I am running the bzt command from this directory - C:\Users\u.kumar.barthakur in command promt.

Please find the directory locations below -

Taurus - C:\Program Files

Python - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Python\2.7

Jmeter script - C:\Users\u.kumar.barthakur\Desktop\TELUS\Soft\jmeter3.1\bin

Let me know if any more details is required. You can also email me spi...@gmail.com

Hi, Uttam,

You can force Taurus to use your existing JMeter installation by setting `modules.jmeter.path` to a path to JMeter's base dir. You can either add it to each Taurus config you write, or add it to a '.bzt-rc' file inside your home directory.

Example of setting `modules.jmeter.path`:

---

modules:
  jmeter:
    path: C:\Users\u.kumar.barthakur\Desktop\TELUS\Soft\jmeter3.1

Please note that when Taurus installs JMeter, it also installs a few useful JMeter plugins.

Hi Dmitri,

Thanks a lot for the quick response :). I have some additional points to make in this regard. First- I tried installing Taurus using the windows installer and followed the same steps mentioned in the Installation manual. I don't see Jmeter being installed by Taurus. Please find the attached screenshot (1st screenshot below). Second - I suppose there might be something missing in my installation or may be its not installed properly as I could not find the '.bzt-rc' in my system. I am attaching the screenshot of all the folders of Taurus installation (from 2nd screenshot below). Please note I am trying to run the .jmx file directly using bzt command. Need your assistance in understanding as unfortunately I am stuck with the installation part and not able to try the interesting features of this tool that I had read on internet.

Regards,

Uttam

JMeter will be installed by Taurus in case it not exists. This is done before executing the test, not at the installation stage.

Just start your test with Taurus and it should install JMeter.

Hi Andrey,

Point noted. But unfortunately I am not able to start the test as I am getting 'failed to create process' error. I attached some screenshots but those did not post I guess. Please find the screenshots that I mentioned in my last question.

Hi,

Do you have a 32- or 64-bit system? We only supply Taurus installers for 64-bit ones.

What happens when you execute the following command in the terminal: `py -m bzt.cli` ?

[spi...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am using 64 bit OS. Please find the screenshots below.

Uh huh.

So Taurus launches normally when you are running it with Python and fails if you're running it with a shortcut.

Try to completely reinstall the Taurus the following way:

1. Execute `py -m pip uninstall bzt` command from administrator's command line.

2. Uninstall Taurus from Control Panel.

3. Install Taurus with the installer.

[spi...@gmail.com]

After running the query I got the below error. Is this expected? Can I proceed with the 2nd and 3rd step

Regards,

Uttam

[pri...@blazemeter.com]

Not yet. Launch cmd.exe as an administrator and try executing the command again.

[spi...@gmail.com]

Thanks a lot guys. You guys are fantastic :).  Finally I can start my journey now. I am not getting the error 'Failed to create process' anymore. I am able to run my first jmeter test. Hats of to you guys for providing so quick solutions. Really appreciate the effort that you have put in to troubleshoot the issue. One last question- Why I am not seeing the stats properly or should I say the stats are taking a long time to appear. Any reason behind this behavior?

[pri...@blazemeter.com]

It's not expected, first stats should appear after a few seconds. It definitely shouldn't take 3 minutes to get first results.

Take a look at 'jmeter.log' file inside the artifacts dir created by Taurus. Are there any error messages there?

[spi...@gmail.com]

After 5 minutes of the test, I started seeing the stats. But I am not able to understand why the test if not completing. I only gave 20 threads with 5 iterations. It should complete by now. But instead the test is still running ~2hrs. I am attaching Jmeter and Error file

'jmeter.log' shows no signs of errors, so JMeter is functioning properly.

However, the response time stat looks rather big. Try setting sensible timeouts for your requests (10 or 30 seconds will do fine). You can also try to figure out why the response time is so huge for your requests.

[spi...@gmail.com]

Yes, I got that point. This is just a debug test to see whether my installation is ok. Can you please let me know why the Taurus window is not closing even after so much time. Do I need to do any setting change somewhere.

Its running for more than 3.5 hrs. Ideally the test should be over by now. It seems out of the 20 users 3 stopped but 17 are still running.

Uttam

Taurus patiently waits for JMeter to finish. It looks like JMeter is stuck because it waits for the last thread group to finish. Looking at response times, it's kind of easy to suggest that the the thread group is still executing its last requests.

Setting timeouts for all HTTP Samplers (or solving network issues) should fix this.

By the way, if you close the window (or press Ctrl-C in the terminal) — Taurus will perform a normal shutdown, so don't be afraid to do it if it's stuck.

Hi there,

My installation of Taurus failed due to "Cannot connect to proxy" as below. 

Yes, I'm behind a proxy.  How can I solve this issue?

Please assist.

Thanks.

[Andrey Pokhilko]

Hi,

Since you are on Windows, you should use Widnows installer instead of command-line.

See here: http://gettaurus.org/docs/Installation/#Installing-Taurus-With-Prebuilt-Installer
