Folks,

Every now and then I keep seeing the JMeter Maven plugin mysteriously exits with 143 return code. I havent been able to identify as to what is causing this.

Has anyone experienced this ? If yes, what is the resolution for this.

Here's what I have researched so far:

I tried to add the Xrs argument as described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/43264432, but it looks like the com.lazerycode.jmeter.configuration.JMeterProcessJVMSettings class does not support this.
I referred to https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Job+Exit+Status and noticed that the return code of 143 is usually sent when the "kill" command is sent. But I am not able to find out what is sending this.
I found a reference to this return code in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-users/lnKAx16zAVc but this thread is inconclusive (or) I am not able to extract any details from it as a resolution.
I also found a bug around this https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-5144 but that is also still open.

Java and Maven version:

mvn --version
Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 1.8.0_201, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /opt/jdk1.8.0_201/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "4.14.171-136.231.amzn2.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

JMeter version: 5.2.1
JMeter Maven plugin version : 3.0.0
Jenkins 2.235.1
My Jenkins instance is running on an AWS EC2 instance. Version details as below

Looks like a bug on our side.

The 143 is the exit code provided if the JVM is force killed.

We normally wait for JMeter to shut itself down, then check the exit code to see if it was non-zero.

In your case it looks like JMeter didn’t shut down quick enough, so we force killed it. That caused the exit code of the process to be 143, so when we checked that the exit code was not zero, we failed the test.

We should probably add a flag that lets you select if killing the JMeter process fails the build or not.
