How to run Non-GUI mode of JMeter, Generating HTML report

Run JMeter via Commandline - NonGUI jmeter mode and HTML report GUI JMeter will consume more resources. Therefore, we usually use JMeter in NonGUI mode in run test scenario. Otherwise, we completely integrate JMeter in integration tools such as: Jenkins, JMeter with Docker, …

How to run JMeter script in non-gui mode and view test result in JMeter mode.

• Step 1: Navigate to jenkin-source folder and /bin folder
• Step 2: Run the command as bellow format

  jmeter -n -t {location_of_jmeter_file} -l {location of the result file}
  

  For example, we can run the command with several OS and export as CSV file

• Windows

  jmeter -n -t C:/path/to/your/test.jmx -l C:/path/to/results/report-file.csv
  

• Linux / Macoxs

  jmeter.sh -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/results/report-file.csv
  

• Besides, we can run these command to refer more params or receive the information of helper in Jmeter commandline jmeter -h or jmeter -?

Run my example Jmeter script

Run a JMeter script and save as .jtl file and use Graph element to diplay as a chart.

• Instead of save the test result as CSV file, we can save as a JTL file and use chart listener to visualise all test result to debug or analysis test reports.

jmeter.sh -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/results/report-file.jtl

For example:

sh jmeter.sh -n -t /Users/doaitran/Documents/personal/coding/jmeter-for-api-and-perrformance-test/basic_lessons/lesson_20_csv_in_jmeter.jmx -l /Users/doaitran/Documents/personal/coding/jmeter-for-api-and-perrformance-test/basic_lessons/lesson20-result.jtl

And we can back to our JMeter test plan in GUI mode, and add a Graph listener element and browser to JTL file to visual our test report as a chart.

Generate html report Jmeter

Otherwise, JMeter has a pram in jmeter command to export the result as html folder

jmeter.sh -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/results/report-file.csv -e -o /path/to/results/html-report

For example

sh jmeter.sh -n -t /Users/doaitran/Documents/personal/coding/jmeter-for-api-and-perrformance-test/basic_lessons/lesson_20_csv_in_jmeter.jmx -l /Users/doaitran/Documents/personal/coding/jmeter-for-api-and-perrformance-test/basic_lessons/lesson20-result.csv -e -o /Users/doaitran/Documents/personal/coding/jmeter-for-api-and-perrformance-test/basic_lessons/lesson20-html-report

Then we can get the html report folder as below image and we can open as this step

And here is an example html displayed in my browser.
