Bug ID: 56862
Summary: Unfriendly error message for configuration errors in
JMeter
Product: JMeter
Version: 2.9
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Main
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Dear JMeter developers,
The error messages dumped by JMeter (caused by configuration errors) are rather
confusing in some cases. I strongly suggest to improve these error messages.
Doing so would dramatically improve JMeter's usability.
Here are two reproducible examples:
1.
//if I set the following invalid option value in jmeter.properties
jmeterengine.threadstop.wait=-1000
Jmeter simply dumps the error message:
Uncaught Exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: timeout value is
negative. See log file for details.
(the above error message is really not informative. there is not much
connection between "timeout" and the wrong option value "threadstop.wait".
Further, the log file does not say anything too. This costs me extra debugging
time for this simple mistakes. I would suggest to add show the *configuration
name* or the *configuration value* in the error message)
2.
Similar to the above error, if I set:
oro.patterncache.size=-1001
Jmeter dumps the error message:
Uncaught Exception java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError. See log file for
details.
This is even less useful, and the log file does not show anything useful
either.
I would suggest to check the configuration option value when JMeter starts, and
improve the corresponding error message (or logs).
Thanks
-Sai
