Not sure if this is a common case... I couldn't find something this specific, so here I am. I'm in a situation where I don't have the Performance plug-in fully enabled in the Jenkins box I'm running my tests in, so I'm using the jmeter-maven-plugin for running the JMeter tests and I intend to use the (Jenkins) performance plug-in for showing the results on the job page.
I believe I should do something like this...
Another problem is that (of course) the file name the plugin generates is not fixed (yyyymmdd is prepended).
The file goes to a path like this, in this format... and I don't think that's where the Performance plug-in will be looking for it:
myjavaproject/myjenkinsjob/target/jmeter/results/20180406-report.csv
How do I achieve that, IF I do somehow?
You can use Jenkins Performance Plugin in order to publish JMeter aggregate report and response graph in Jenkins.
Additionally, you can try Redline13 for Continuous Performance testing as it provides integration with Jenkins and will help you to keep your performance testing report on a single platform.
