Bug ID: 66270
Summary: TestStateListener implementation should be supported
for NoThreadClone elements only
Product: JMeter
Version: 5.5
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Main
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: JMETER_5.5
Currently, JMeter notifies TestStateListener from a single thread only, and it
collects listeners **before** they are cloned for the execution.
For instance, HTTPSamplerBase is cloned for every thread (because it has
execution state fields), so it looks strange to implement TestStateListener.
What was the expected outcome? Did HTTPSamplerBase authors expect that JMeter
would execute "testEnded" on each cloned HTTPSamplerBase instance? Did
HTTPSamplerBase authors expect that "testEnded" would be called for
"non-cloned" instance only? Frankly speaking, both options sound strange to me,
and I think HTTPSamplerBase should not really implement TestStateListener.
That creates two issues:
1) StandardJMeterEngine keeps the collection (see
SearchByClass<>(TestStateListener.class)) of all TestStateListener
implementations for the duration of the test.
2) HTTPSamplerBase is cloned into the execution threads, so it is unclear what
would be outcome of calling the notifications (testStarted, testEnded) on an
element that is not associated with a thread.
I'm inclined we should deprecate TestStateListener for objects cloned into
individual execution threads. In other words, it looks like TestStateListeners
should be executed for "global-like" services only.
Of course, we could try calling "testStarted" within each execution thread,
however, I am not sure what would be the use case for it, and it was not
implemented previously.
