Hello all, It looks to me that the initial question was not clear, anyhow, my question is : I was trying to override the 'user.properties' property in the 'jmeter.properties' file to refere to a different file name, from the cmd line. and this is not working. ??? the goal is to specify the user's properties file at the cmd line. I did this :
%JMETER_HOME%\bin\jmeter -n -ttest.jmx -Juser.properties=my.properties but this seems to not override the user.properties defined in jmeter.properties. ?? I thought that the cmd line props are processed first ???? any idea ? thank you ! sebb-2-2 wrote: > > On 29/05/2008, Stuart Findlay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> apologies - __P only works for properties supplied on the command line - >> it's the __property function you need. >> > > __P and __property work equally well. > > __P is bascially just a shorthand for __property. > >> http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__property >> >> in your example you would need ${__property(url)} >> >> >> >> >> Stuart Findlay wrote: >> >> > Properties aren't variables so you need to get them using the __P >> function >> > >> > See >> http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__P >> for details >> > >> > Marc Rennhard wrote: >> > >> > > Dear all, >> > > >> > > (see also >> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45009) >> > > >> > > I'm trying to use the jmeter -q command line option to pass a >> > > user.properties file (which contains user defined variables) to >> jmeter >> > > and access these properties within a testcase, but so have failed to >> use >> > > this correctly.
