jmeter error on opening script

Question

Okay - I have not moved this test from one machine to another. This test was created and saved exactly where I am trying to open it today. Yesterday - I made a couple changes and saved it. Now, I go to open and I get the Error - See log file.

I have been searching for answers, but the only thing I have found relate to moving a test from one machine to another. This looks like it is just plain corrupted. Two questions - 1. Anyone ever see this before and know what caused it? 2. Am I screwed? Do I have to completely redo this test?

Not sure if this matters in this case, but:
Windows 7 Jmeter 2.9

Here is the log information:

What might the issue have been if you'd moved it from one machine to another? — StackExchange What The Heck, Jul 22 '13 at 08:42

This is a quick way to bonify your corrupted test jmx file.

Go to your jmeter directory and open jmeter.log file
The lastest rows rapresents the last error jmeter logged, you have to find a block like this:

---- Debugging information ---- message : com.atlantbh.jmeter.plugins.rest.RestSampler cause-exception : com.thoughtworks.xstream.mapper.CannotResolveClassException cause-message : com.atlantbh.jmeter.plugins.rest.RestSampler class : org.apache.jorphan.collections.ListedHashTree required-type : org.apache.jorphan.collections.ListedHashTree converter-type : org.apache.jmeter.save.converters.HashTreeConverter path : /jmeterTestPlan/hashTree/hashTree/hashTree[3]/hashTree[3]/com.atlantbh.jmeter.plugins.rest.RestSampler line number : 950
Open your jmx corrupted file with a text editor and find the corrupted line of code (in the above example the corrupted line is 950)
Remove the entire tag from <tag.name> to </tag.name> (or if you are enought skilled try to surf into child tags, find the bug and fix it)
Save your edited file with a different name
Load into jmeter
If the error persist, repeat from step 1 (you'll find a new tag to remove)

This also works if you have a different plugin version than the original, and it added/removed tags that jmeter is choking on. — Renee, Dec 04 '17 at 22:25

We came across a similar issue when trying to open a test using JMeter 2.13. This was resolved by adding some JMeter plugins.

In our case we needed to add the 'JMeterPlugins-Standard' jar in lib/ext folder for kg.apc.jmeter.vizualizers.ResponseTimesOverTimeGui (OR kg.apc.jmeter.vizualizers.CorrectedResultCollector ) usage in the test.

Also we needed to add the jmeter-plugins-1.0.0 jar in lib/junit folder for com.atlantbh.jmeter.plugins.rest.gui.RestGui (OR com.atlantbh.jmeter.plugins.rest.RestSampler) usage.

In this case you need to look for the line 7282 in your test to see what it is missing and add the relevant plugin for it.

For some reason these jar files are not included with the default jmeter download.

Hope that helps.

While other dependencies can be resolved automatically with plugin manager, this RestSampler is only available in `jmeter-plugins-1.0.0.jar`. Google it and download it from some bizarre sites works. Yes, it's not among jmeter-plugins.org — WesternGun, Nov 09 '21 at 10:33

Follow these steps

Go to below link https://jmeter-plugins.org/downloads/all/ and add plugin manager to your Jmeter
Restart Jmeter
Add required plugin by clicking on "options --> Plugins Manager"
Restart Jmeter

I think it can resolve your issue

This actually worked. It downloaded the plugins I was missing. – k_rollo Sep 11 '20 at 06:56
Yes, this works, thanks. Just open the jmx file again, plugin managed detected the missing plugins and you can download them. Great. – WesternGun Nov 08 '21 at 15:55

It seems your file is corrupt.

Try to open it in an xml editor to see if it is correct.

Check disk space or disk issue. Did you have a crash during a save ?

You can try to add manually end of tags to get part of it back, maybe you will need to remove last xml node.

Must have had an error during saving. When I opened as XML, I could see the missing tags. Thanks! – James Craig Feb 25 '13 at 16:08

I had same kind of situation, jmx won't load. Only the error was different, I got: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

This was fixed by installing Java SE 1.7.0.67
