I have been using taurus to run multiple test modules as a single and complete test case and all well and good. Only now I have a need to make use of test fragment to avoid duplicating codes and I ran into an issue where taurus keeps complaining

ERROR: Child Process Error: Empty results,...

the same test runs in Jmeter as expected.

Could someone help me out, where I might missed out, please?

Here is a very simple taurus config:

test-frag-and-taurus.yml

execution:
- concurrency: 1
  iterations: 1
  scenario:
  script: test-frag-and-taurus.jmx

here jmeter looks like:

test plan

--thread group
----test fragment 1
------jsr223: log.info('### from fragment... ')

--thread group #disabled. also tried text fragment using include module)
----test fragment 2
------include module #point to the test fragment 1 above which saved into a separate jmx file

--thread group
----module controller
----jsr223: log.info('### from main... ')

--view result tree

2019-10-23 18:19:01,867 INFO o.a.j.p.j.s.J.JSR223 Sampler - fragment 1: ### from fragment...

$ bzt test-frag-and-taurus.yml

just noticed the following line in the log which i left out from the taurus log included above... 

2019-10-24 16:25:58,226 INFO o.a.j.e.StandardJMeterEngine: No enabled thread groups found
2019-10-24 16:25:58,226 INFO o.a.j.e.StandardJMeterEngine: Notifying test listeners of end of test

seems like taurus disabled all thread groups in its modified_ script when it finds any enabled thread group with test fragment and this is exactly what it did

bzt -gui test-frag-and-taurus.yml

disable the thread group contains the test fragment solved my issue - although the thread group is disabled, the module controller still able to call the test fragment
