Hello,
Currently when you check Schedule in Thread group and:
- fix a duration for your test
- Don't set any timeout on HTTP requests or use a non interruptible
sampler
Your test can hang infinitely as JMeter will not interrupt the Hanging
samplers even after duration of Thread Group has been reached.
This is a frequent problem faced by JMeter users (I remember that I have
answered this SO question at least 10 times). Even non newbie can get
trapped.
Shouldn't we introduce this to avoid hanging test that give a feeling of
broken JMeter while the problem is in the hanging targetted server ?:
- Option 1: Add an option in Scheduler part called "Interrupt pending
Threads after duration + security margin (1m) that could be a field or
property" on Thread Group (checked by default)
- Option 2 : Add it at test plan level to avoid repeating the
configuration
- On start of Thread Group, an additional TimerTask would be triggered
after duration + security margin and would do the following:
- run equivalent (refactor) of code at:
