Getting HTML report of previous execution even though current csv source file have different data

Question

I am using Jmeter with Maven plugin and generating html report for the same after execution, have addded .jmx files in src/test/jmeter folder and kept csv in different one for reading params.

This is how my pom.xml looks like for build.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId>
            <artifactId>jmeter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.4.0</version>
            <executions>
                <!-- Generate JMeter configuration -->
                <execution>
                    <id>configuration</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>configure</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
                <!-- Run JMeter tests -->
                <execution>
                    <id>jmeter-tests</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>jmeter</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
                <!-- Fail build on errors in test -->
                <execution>
                    <id>jmeter-check-results</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>results</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <propertiesUser>
                    <csvPath>${basedir}/src/test/resources/testData.csv</csvPath>
                </propertiesUser>
                <generateReports>true</generateReports>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

I am getting result.csv properly but html report is showing data from some random execution which was 1st time for the day.

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

Thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

1. By default the report is being generated under target/jmeter/reports/your_test_name/ folder

2. If the "old" report exists - you will get the following error message:

   An error occurred: Cannot write to 'target/jmeter/reports/your_test_name' as folder is not empty
   

So double check the path you're opening in the browser and just in case make sure to call clean task, i.e. instead of :

maven verify

call

maven clean verify

You can also always generate the HTML dashboard from the .csv results file as:

jmeter -g /path/to/CSV/file -o /path/to/dashboard/folder

and last but not the least, have you tried to refresh the dashboard page in the browser?
