Running JMeter via a shortcut?

Question

I am trying to create a shortcut outside the bin folder to run Jmeter, but no matter what I do, after Jmeter runs, and I try and execute my test, I get this error -

Uncaught Exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/os /Kernel32. See log file for details.

I have tried -

• A shortcut using "c:\windows\explorer.exe path\to\jmeter.bat"
• A batch file cd'ing into the bin dir and running the jmeter.bat
• A batch file cd'ing into the bin dir then runnin "java -jar ApacheJmeter.jar"

All three execute Jmeter fine, but my test won't run as per the error above..if I run the bat or jar directly in the bin folder, my tests working..

Someone must have run Jmeter from a shortcut before?

Answer 1

One alternative way you can use if I'm thinking right -

1. Move to your jmeter bin folder
2. Right click on jmeter.bat file
3. Select send to > Desktop(create shortcut)
