Facing Error with Plugin - "Failed to create PlaintTextLoadGenerator instance" about pepper-box HOT 15 CLOSED

Or specifically set JM_LAUNCH variable to /bin/java.exe in jmeter.bat file in case you plan not to disturb other configurations.

yes

Sorted this in a very simple way! I am not using the PlainTextConfig and started using JSR223 sampler with below code. Continued to use the Pepper-Box Javarequest Sampler with all default options available. Successfully able to post the messages to Kafka

Same issue for me as well.

@ganeshmuralidhar, @saikris12 Recently we have added keyed message feature but documentation/README is yet to be updated. Apologies for that. Can you try with below settings and see if it works?

In case if you want to send keyed message then keyed message property should be set to 'YES'

@Nachiket90 - The plugin seems to be deleting my entry when i try to save the Java request sampler with these new options!!!! However, just want to add that even before the Java request sampler is initiated, my PlainTextConfig itself is failing to start. And I tried this on Jmeter 3.0 and 3.3. I have JDK home and Java Home already set to proper locations. Still i am not able to execute a sample. Can you please assist?

@ganeshmuralidhar by looking at logs u shared, ur jmeter is picking up java from JRE and not from JDK
can u do where javac ?

from pepper-box.

Ok - But my where javac shows JDK path!

@ganeshmuralidhar can u do one thing when u launch Jmeter can u trace which java command it picks

from pepper-box.

Can you elaborate on how to capture that? @satishbhor

from pepper-box.

Check JDK path from windows task manager process. Click on Jmeter process -> properties -> general tab should show you JDK path used. Here is screenshot for reference.

@Nachiket90 This shows me a JRE path.. @satishbhor also pointed this, but i couldn't find a way to change it back to JDK. Hence I had to try a work around for this and use JSR223 sampler.

from pepper-box.

Thats the issue :), try checking ur environment path variables, incase any variable is pointing to JRE.

from pepper-box.

My environment variables do have an entry for JRE but a JDK entry is before that.. and that should ideally be picked as Env vars are traversed sequentially to pick the relavant process. Are you saying that I should try removing JRE entries completely out?

from pepper-box.

Awesome! This works now with the JM_LAUNCH set in the jmeter.bat file!!! Thanks a lot @Nachiket90 @satishbhor
