By default, jp@gc - WebDriver Sampler has javascript as a Script Language.
As soon as I switch to java, I get this error message.
ReferenceError: "ImportPackage" is not defined in at line number 2.
I use JMeter 3.2 and Java 1.8.
There is a bug in the WebDriver Sampler plugin, you can report it via JMeter Plugins support forum. For the time being there is no fix so currently you have the following options:
ImportPackage
function while Nashorn JavaScript Engine which comes with JDK8 doesn't.
