JMeter - open a jmx file from web

Question

I know I can download file from web, but in case that I want to get the updated jmx files in 1 machine (get from source control only once using trigger) and load it on different machines, Can I open in JMeter a jmx file located in web?

I'm trying but failing (with different escaping) from http://jmeter.apache.org/demos:

jmeter -t "http://jmeter.apache.org/demos/forEachTestPlan.jmx"

No you can't OOTB, you need another tool

You could use a curl or wget to get a local copy then run it.

What is the use case ?

Get the updated jmx files in 1 machine (get from source control only once in trigger) and load it on different machines – Ori Marko Sep 28 '17 at 06:42
You would need for now to do it through some shell. Maybe you can discuss this on dev mailing list – UBIK LOAD PACK Sep 28 '17 at 06:58

I would recommend putting your JMeter script under Jenkins management, Jenkins has ability to poll version control systems on schedule (or alternatively you can use a VCS hook) so Jenkins will scan the target version control system for any updates and if they are - it will checkout the latest .jmx file version and run JMeter test using it.

See Continuous Integration 101: How to Run JMeter With Jenkins for more information on JMeter and Jenkins integration.

If I want to execute Jenkins with slaves how can I get the jmx file from specific machine? — Ori Marko, Sep 28 '17 at 07:29
