Stop JMeter test in Beanshell PreProcessor

I need a way to stop my main sample from being executed and also stop my test.

I have read this post on stackoverflow but this does not prevent the main sample from being executed. JMeter - Stop Thread from within a BeanShell PreProcessor

I have an HTTP sampler (Could be any other samples besides a BeanShell sampler) in JMeter 3.2 with a BeanShell PreProcessor that contains the following line of code: 

org.apache.jmeter.engine.StandardJMeterEngine.stopThread(Thread.currentThread().getName());

Now this does stop my test but not after executing the main sample. So I need something that stops my test and prevents the main sample from ever being executed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • Just call ctx.getEngine().askThreadsToStop() where required, it will perform graceful shutdown.

    More "hard" methods are:

    ctx.getEngine().stopTest();

    or even

    System.exit(1);

    Remember that using Beanshell for scripting is not recommended, starting from JMeter 3.1 users are encouraged to switch to JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language, check out Apache Groovy - Why and How You Should Use It for details.
