JMeter - contribute new function(s) to JMeter

Question

I want to add more functions to JMeter, for example encryption __sha512 which will encrypt string using SHA 512.

What's the process of contribute new function(s) to JMeter? can I add it as an enhancement to JMeter and create a patch or should it be added as a plugin manager?

In plugin manager there's already Function project.

Answer 1

JMeter plugins project is a 3rd party project with no relation to JMeter. Users will have to install plugin manager and install then function plugin.

If you contribute to Core JMeter it will be available OOTB.

So if you want to contribute to JMeter:

• open an enhancement request

• attach you patch or point to your PR in github

See:

• http://jmeter.apache.org/building.html

JMeter functions are located here:

• https://github.com/apache/jmeter/tree/trunk/src/functions/org/apache/jmeter/functions

JUnit Tests should be provided as well:
