Taurus Execution failure via yaml scripts for jmeter jmx scripts behind proxy

Question

I am trying to execute some jmeter jmx scripts using Tarus via yaml scripts named "ParallelExecution.yml".

Yaml Script:

execution:
   - executor: jmeter
execution:
- scenario:
    script: C:\Users\SampleScripts\WSO2ServiceAPI.jmx
- scenario:
    script: C:\Users\SampleScripts\KongServiceAPI.jmx
reporting:
 - module: blazemeter
   report-name: TaurusPerformanceTest
   test: WSO2andKong
   project: SampleProject

But, its fetching the following error after I execute the command "bzt ParallelExecution.yml -report".

I am not sure why I taurus is not able to execute the script. It runs correctly as jmeter scripts via jmeter. Any help would be highly appreticated

Looking into this line:

Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: jmeter-plugins.org

It appears that the underlying JMeter Plugins Manager is not able to reach JMeter Plugins backend, presumably this is due to the fact you're using corporate proxy for the internet access.

You can configure Taurus to use the proxy of your choice by adding the next lines to your YAML config file:

settings:
  proxy:
    address: http://localhost:8080
    username: johndoe
    password: secret

of course replace address, username and password with your own values. Once done - restart the test and Taurus will propagate proxy settings to the downstream JMeter. JMeter Plugins Manager respects JMeter proxy settings so you should be able to execute the test normally.

Just in case check out Plugins Manager Network Configuration page.

Hi Dmitri, Thank you! The above solution worked for connecting to jmeter-plugins.org after appending the required certificate. But,I am still facing 12:38:28 WARNING: Failed to check for updates 12:38:46 ERROR: Network Error: Request to https://a.blazemeter.com/api/v4/web/version failed and couldn't proceed with the executions on Taurus. — Angshuman Basak, Nov 15 '19 at 06:56
