--- Comment #14 from Felix Schumacher <felix.schumac...@internetallee.de> --- In my tests, I used netcat to simulate a server: date | netcat -l 127.0.0.1 1234 and used a TCP Sampler to read from that 'server'. In my first try, the test didn't end, as I specified no timeout for the read operation. When I did, I got the following exception in the log file (nightly build): 2020-12-29 10:36:40,937 ERROR o.a.j.p.t.s.TCPSampler: org.apache.jmeter.protocol.tcp.sampler.ReadException: at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.tcp.sampler.BinaryTCPClientImpl.read(BinaryTCPClientImpl.java:143) ~[ApacheJMeter_tcp.jar:5.4.1-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.tcp.sampler.TCPSampler.sample(TCPSampler.java:398) [ApacheJMeter_tcp.jar:5.4.1-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.doSampling(JMeterThread.java:638) [ApacheJMeter_core.jar:5.4.1-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.executeSamplePackage(JMeterThread.java:558) [ApacheJMeter_core.jar:5.4.1-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.processSampler(JMeterThread.java:489) [ApacheJMeter_core.jar:5.4.1-SNAPSHOT] at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.run(JMeterThread.java:256) [ApacheJMeter_core.jar:5.4.1-SNAPSHOT] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) [?:1.8.0_201] Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) ~[?:1.8.0_201] at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(SocketInputStream.java:116) ~[?:1.8.0_201] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:171) ~[?:1.8.0_201] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:141) ~[?:1.8.0_201] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:127) ~[?:1.8.0_201] at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.tcp.sampler.BinaryTCPClientImpl.read(BinaryTCPClientImpl.java:126) ~[ApacheJMeter_tcp.jar:5.4.1-SNAPSHOT] ... 6 more The end of stream is signalled with a SocketTimeoutException (which is an IOException). In earlier versions, we swallowed the SocketTimeoutException silently. In the newer version, we convert them to a ReadException. This is, what is hitting you (I suspect). Now, the question remains, what to do here. I think, we can swallow the SocketTimeoutException in the case, when no EOM-Byte is set. That way, your issue should be gone and those, who can use an EOM-Byte will get notified, when the stream ended early. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
