Hello, Thank you for the work on the new version.
We tested on our side, and it seems there is a regression in the HTML report generation ( https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/generating-dashboard.html) The report is empty and some pages are missing particularly because the folder structure is broken: - OverTime.html, ResponseTimes.html , Throughput.html and CustomsGraphs.html are now located at root which triggers the not found error, they should be in content/pages - the graph.js, dashboard.js , dashboard-commons.js and customGraph.js are now located at root which triggers the blank tables, they should be content/js folder Regards Philippe Mouawad UbikLoadPack Team On Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 7:08 PM Vladimir Sitnikov < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi devs, > > I’ve refreshed a large set of dependencies and build settings while > preparing for 6.0. > I’d love your help to build from master, run your typical plans/plugins, > and report anything odd (successes welcome too!). > > Highlights to keep an eye on > * Build/runtime baselines: code migrated to Java 17; builds now on Java 21. > Please try with Java 17/21/25. > * Logging: SLF4J 2.x route via log4j-slf4j2-impl.
