How To Integrate Jmeter Java Request Into Ant Build System

Install Jmeter

http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html

Install Ant-Jmeter

Download the ant-jmeter jar here: http://www.programmerplanet.org/pages/projects/jmeter-ant-task.php

The jar should be put in the ant\lib directory, for example here: <path>\apache-ant-1.8.1\lib\ant-jmeter-1.1.1.jar

Integrate Ant-Jmeter with Build system

Upload jars needed to create meter java requests

The ApacheJMeter_core.jar and ApacheJMeter_java.jar libraries in jmeter\lib\ext are needed to write jmeter java request classes, so they need to be visible.

• \ApacheJMeter_core-1.0.jar
• ApacheJMeter_java-1.0.jar

Create A JMeter Plan

See http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=java&seqNum=269 

Integrate Jmeter into Build project

Add a jmeter-run ant target to ant build.xml.  Also copy the jmeter plan file to the output directory

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="test.JmeterTest" default="build">
 
 <target name="copy-jmeter-plan">
   <!-- copy jmeter plan file --> 
   <copy todir="${output.root}">
    <fileset dir="${project.root}" includes="*.jmx"/>
   </copy>
   
   <!-- make out directory --> 
   <mkdir dir="${output.root}/out" />
  </target> 
 
 <!-- define jmeter task --> 
 <taskdef
      name="jmeter"
      classname="org.programmerplanet.ant.taskdefs.jmeter.JMeterTask"/>
 
 <target name="jmeter-run">
  <jmeter
       jmeterhome="c:\dev\jmeter\apache-jmeter-2.6"
       testplan="${output.root}\CaptureJSONRequest.jmx"
       resultlog="${output.root}\out\CaptureJSONRequest.jtl">
   <property name="user.classpath" value="${output.root}\lib\ApacheJMeter_core-1.0;${output.root}\lib\ApacheJMeter_java-1.0"/>
  </jmeter>
  
  <xslt
          in="${output.root}\out\CaptureJSONRequest.jtl"
   out="${output.root}\out\jmeter-results-report.html"
   style="C:\dev\jmeter\apache-jmeter-2.6\extras\jmeter-results-report_21.xsl"/>
 </target>
</project>

Create a Jmeter Request Class

package org.apache.jmeter.protocol.java.test;
import java.io.Serializable;

import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.java.sampler.AbstractJavaSamplerClient;
import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.java.sampler.JavaSamplerContext;
import org.apache.jmeter.samplers.SampleResult;
import org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterContextService;
import org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterVariables;

public class JavaRequestTest extends AbstractJavaSamplerClient implements Serializable
{
  @Override
  public SampleResult runTest(JavaSamplerContext ctx) 
  {
    JMeterVariables vars = JMeterContextService.getContext().getVariables();
    vars.put("demo", "demoVariableContent");

    SampleResult sampleResult = new SampleResult();
    
    sampleResult.sampleStart();
    try 
    {
  Thread.sleep(100);
 } 
    catch (InterruptedException e) 
    {
  System.out.println(e.toString());
 }
    sampleResult.setSuccessful(true);
    
    sampleResult.setResponseCodeOK();
    sampleResult.setResponseMessageOK();
    return sampleResult;
  }  
}

Add Jmeter Request to jmeter plan

Jmeter should display the newly added JavaRequestTest class.

Configure output file locations

Make file locations relative to location of plan, which is in the output.root based on build file copy-support. Specify file location for summary report as something like this: ~/out/summary-report.xml

Run Jmeter

>ant jmeter-run

jmeter-run:
