simple writer question

[Bo Bodnar]

I'm running a jmeter 2.13 script and have an interesting problem in a
simple data writer that I can't resolve.  I'm hoping someone here has seen
this before and figured out a solution.  The details:

I've a simple data writer where I want the output to be just the URL call.
Using the GUI, I uncheck everything except "Save URL".  Running jmeter from
the GUI now works exactly as desired.  For example, I get something like in
the log file:

http://10.155.64.15/BO/d99c62e2-707c-4edc-99e2-43abca746d5a_81KB

I now save the script, turn off the GUI, and run the .jmx script from the
command line.  Instead of getting just the URL, I get thread information;
e.g.:

1,1,http://10.155.64.15/BO/cbdce96a-119d-43e7-a6ff-4c1a22338a0f_14.1KB

In other words, the "1,1," should not be present.  I then turn on the GUI,
open the pertinent .jmx file, and see that "Save Active Thread Counts" is
now checked (recall that it was unchecked).  When I look at the .jmx file,
I see that thread information is unchecked (as intended).  The portion of
the .jmx file that pertains to this simple writer is:

<ResultCollector guiclass="SimpleDataWriter" testclass="ResultCollector"
testname="Simple Data Writer - Success" enabled="true">
          <boolProp name="ResultCollector.error_logging">false</boolProp>
          <objProp>
            <name>saveConfig</name>
            <value class="SampleSaveConfiguration">
              <time>false</time>
              <latency>false</latency>
              <timestamp>false</timestamp>
              <success>false</success>
              <label>false</label>
              <code>false</code>
              <message>false</message>
              <threadName>false</threadName>
              <dataType>false</dataType>
              <encoding>false</encoding>
              <assertions>false</assertions>
              <subresults>false</subresults>
              <responseData>false</responseData>
              <samplerData>false</samplerData>
              <xml>false</xml>
              <fieldNames>false</fieldNames>
              <responseHeaders>false</responseHeaders>
              <requestHeaders>false</requestHeaders>
              <responseDataOnError>false</responseDataOnError>

<saveAssertionResultsFailureMessage>false</saveAssertionResultsFailureMessage>
              <assertionsResultsToSave>0</assertionsResultsToSave>
              <url>true</url>
            </value>
          </objProp>
          <stringProp name="filename">${WriteURLsToFolder}/$
{OutputFilePrefix}_${__time(yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss)}.log</stringProp>

It appears to me that the simple writer is broken for this scenario.  Is
this some way of working around this?

Thank you,

Bo
