First, we use POSIX path conventions (e.g., '/' instead of '\' - which works
even on Windows).
Second, in our scripts, we use 'relative' paths (e.g., './path/to/file')
instead of fully qualified path (/path/to/file - the '.'
makes all the difference).
Third, in our 'user.properties' file (in the JMeter './bin' folder), we add
this (Windows style):
includecontroller.prefix=X:/Tests/JMeter/controllers/
Or (Unix style):
includecontroller.prefix=/mnt/Tests/JMeter/controllers/
This tells JMeter where to start looking for included controllers.
You also might be able to configure some variables, and use those (I haven't
tried this) in your path names...

Subject: Using Jmeter in heterogeneous environment
This may be a unique situation. I currently develop my test plans on my desktop
which is running Microsoft Windows. The load agents
that are responsible for the stress tests, however, are on Linux servers. Is
there a way Jmeter can detect which OS it's running on?
The one case where this is needed is when defining the location of the data
files. From my desktop, I define the path to a network
share (e.g. \\netshare\jmeter\data). On the Linux agents, we mounted that
network share to /mnt. So when the test plan runs on the
Linux agent, it needs to get the data files from /mnt/jmeter/data.
For now, I've made the data file path a parameter that I can pass in to the
test plan, but was hoping a I can define both paths and
have Jmeter decide which one to use depending on which OS it's running on.
One way is to use an OS sampler in the setUp thread and try to perform a
Windows only command (dir ?) and see if it returns and
error. I can then assume we're on a Linux server.
Thanks,
Marcelo
