Custom JMeter Functions not working with JMeter 5.1.1 and breaks standard JMeter functions

[Prit]

I needed to encode a string to Base64 so I installed Custom JMeter Functions 2.1 using Plugins Manager on JMeter 5.1.1.

Not only did the custom functions not work, but it also broke the JMeter standard functions. I tried downgrading the plugin to 2.0 but that did not resolve it. I tried downgrading to JMeter 4.0 but had the same problem. 

My input is always the same (posting a HTTP request), the only thing I changed was having the plugin installed or not.

My input:

{
    "user_input": null,
    "variables": {
        "${__V(Language${__Random(1,3,)})}",
        "${__V(Gender${__Random(1,3,)})}",
        "${__time(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z',)}",
        "${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z',${__time()},-PT1H,,)}",
        "${__RandomString(29,abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJLKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789)}",
        "${__RandomString(15,1234567890)}",
        "${__base64Encode(hello)"
         }

}

Without the plugin installed, the request that is posted is as expected:

POST data:
{
    "user_input": null,
    "variables": {
        "FR",
        "Female",
        "2019-04-11T11:25:04.676Z",
        "2019-04-11T10:25:04.676Z",
        "xAUderFKgvlFY28kwcw6DU33xeRDy",
        "663915594818506",
        "${__base64Encode(hello)"
         }
}

With the plugin installed, the request that is posted is:

POST data:

{

    "user_input": null,
    "variables": {

        "${__V(Language${__Random(1,3,)})}",
        "${__V(Gender${__Random(1,3,)})}",
        "${__time(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z',)}",
        "${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z',${__time()},-PT1H,,)}",
        "${__RandomString(29,abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJLKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789)}",
        "${__RandomString(15,1234567890)}",
        "${__base64Encode(hello)"
         }
}

So none of the functions are working. If I remove the plugin, it starts to behave again. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You left out a closing curly braces at the post body in base encode param.

"${__base64Encode(hello)" 

It should be "${__base64Encode(hello)}" 

Thanks,

Mohamed Ibrahim
