JMeter StackOverflow

Question

I am using JMeter 2.11. The following parameters are defined in the jmeter.bat file :

set HEAP=-Xms512m -Xmx12144m

set PERM=-XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m         


        

Answer 1

Just increase jmeter stack size by using -Xss option

Answer 2

I believe that in the "set HEAP=-Xms512m -Xmx12144m " both values need to be the same. I think that if you would try with "set HEAP=-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m " the error will be gone.

This error can appear when there is a logical error in your test plan. Please check carefully with adding beanshell listener for printing extra logs within Logical controller such as looping/iterating controller in your test plan.

Answer 4

Issue was due to a know bug in version 2.11 :

Listeners don't show iteration counts when a If Controller has a condition which is always false from the first iteration (see Bug 52496 ). A workaround is to add a sampler at the same level as (or superior to) the If Controller. For example a Test Action sampler with 0 wait time (which doesn't generate a sample), or a Debug Sampler with all fields set to False (to reduce the sample size).

This bug is now fixed so will be available as 2.12
