I looked into this a bit further, and it appears that the problem also goes away if there are no cookies stored in the Cookie Manager.
To get rid of the cookies, and keep the manager, remove the <testelement> and nested <property> nodes from the <collection> - see below for details of what to snip. There is still a bug, as it should be possible to store cookies. I'll raise a bug. -----Original Message----- From: Theisen, Brent M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 August 2003 18:04 To: JMeter Users List Subject: RE: Saved JMeter Test Plans not reloading Yeah, I've seen this too. This bug will prevent you from loading a JMX file that has one or more HTTP Cookie Manager elements in it. When you get this error on a particular JMX file you will not be able to load it until you remove the HTTP Cookie Manager element from the JMX file manually or you make a code change to the JMeter source. To remove the HTTP Cookie Manager from the JMX file open the JMX file in a text editor, find any sections in the file that look something like the below snippit and remove those sections from the file. <!-- JMX file snippit --> <node> <testelement class="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.CookieManager"> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty" name="TestElement.gui_class">org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.gui.CookiePanel </property> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty" name="TestElement.test_class">org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Cookie Manager</property> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty" name="TestElement.name">HTTP Cookie Manager</property> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.BooleanProperty" name="CookieManager.clearEachIteration">false</property> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.BooleanProperty" name="TestElement.enabled">true</property> <collection class="java.util.ArrayList" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.CollectionProperty" name="CookieManager.cookies"> ---- snip here ---- <testelement class="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Cookie" name="sessionid"> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty" name="Cookie.path"/> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty" name="TestElement.name">sessionid</property> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.BooleanProperty" name="Cookie.secure">false</property> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty" name="Cookie.domain"/> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty" name="Cookie.value"/> <property xml:space="preserve" propType="org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.LongProperty" name="Cookie.expires">0</property> </testelement> ---- end of snip --- </collection> </testelement> </node> <!-- JMX file snippit --> If you really need to use the HTTP Cookie Manager you can comment out the line below in CookieManager.java and rebuild. I've been using this as a workaround and it works reliably. JMeterContextService.getContext().getVariables().put(c.getName(),c.getValue( )); The NullPointerException is caused by the call to getVariables() returning a null. I don't know the JMeter code base enough to submit a patch for this but if someone who knows the JMeter code base has some time you should be able to reproduce this issue using CVS HEAD if you add a HTTP Cookie Manager to a test plan, save the test plan and then try to load it.

Namely a NullPointerException. It's getting very annoying because when I've perfected a test plan to do what I want it to, save it then go to show it to my boss later in the day, it doesn't work. Any ideas what I can do to stop this, bearing in mind I need a cookie manager?
