Ubuntu – Getting old results in JMeter results tree

I am using jmeter on Ubuntu to run some smoke tests against an API.

The tests are run on CLI with these parameters:

jmeter -t service.jmx -p test.properties -j /tmp/jmeter-service.log -l /tmp/jmeter-service.jtl -n

But sometimes (strangely not everytime) the results are not changing. Old results are displayed in the Results Tree. I can clearly see that other tests are run but I can’t see them in the results.

This even happens even when I:

  • Right-click the tree and select "Clear"
  • Close JMeter and reopen it
  • The .jtl file in the /tmp folder has been removed and recreated by the tests

Can anyone help me out? Is there some sort of caching?

    Found out the answer in another stack overflow question: Cannot see all results in Jmeter results tree and report

    It seems I only saw the first 500 results, changed the user.properties file as recommended and now all is working fine.

    Just to sum this up:

    Change the user.properties file (located in the jmeter /bin directory) and add

    view.results.tree.max_results=0

    1. If you have results opened in JMeter GUI in View Results Tree listener and loading new results the new results will be appended to what you have in GUI
    2. If /tmp/jmeter-service.jtl file exists and you run your test using the command you provided the new results will be added to the .jtl results file

    So make sure to:

    1. Clear the old results from GUI
    2. Add -f command-line argument to your command, this way JMeter will overwrite the existing results (if any) and you will get "fresh" results in the .jtl results file

    Combination of the above 2 points will give you the confidence that you’re analyzing the "fresh" results.
