A required class was missing while executing com.lazerycode.jmeter:jmeter-maven-plugin:2.9.0:configure: net/minidev/asm/FieldFilter

Question

I'm using jmeter-maven-plugin 2.9.0 with maven 3.6.0, when I run the mvn verify I get the following error:

Failed to execute goal com.lazerycode.jmeter:jmeter-maven-plugin:2.9.0:configure (configure) on project performance-tests: Execution configure of goal com.lazerycode.jmeter:jmeter-maven-plugin:2.9.0:configure failed: A required class was mis sing while executing com.lazerycode.jmeter:jmeter-maven-plugin:2.9.0:configure: net/minidev/asm/FieldFilter

I create on the same project a java class and I imported the class FieldFilter and works.

I try to verify with another version of plugin 2.8.5 and I get the same error.

JMeter Maven Plugin doesn't care in the slightest about what you have specified in <dependencies> tag, it has its own dependencies resolution and management mechanism.

You need to add the following lines to your pom.xml file:

    </jMeterProcessJVMSettings>
    <testPlanLibraries>
        <artifact>net.minidev:asm:1.0.2</artifact>
    </testPlanLibraries>
</configuration>

Once you do this JMeter Maven Plugin will download the .jar to target/jmeter/lib folder and you will be able to use it in your test.

More information:

Thanks Dimitri T, it works but only if I don't have settings.xml on the .m2 directory. If I add the settings.xml I get the same error. Did you know what can be the problem? — Florin Barbuceanu, Sep 12 '19 at 11:32
