How do I resolve this issue to get the script recorded?

Solution
    1. Update to JMeter last verions (5 for now). It's highly recommend that most users run the latest release.

    2. Check your proxy connection. If you are testing from a proxy, you need to set up your proxy server host and port in JMeter.
      To do so run the jmeter[.bat] file from a command line with the following parameters:

      -H [proxy server hostname or ip address] -P [proxy server port] -N [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost) -u [username for proxy authentication - if required] -a [password for proxy authentication - if required]

      Example:

      jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
    3. Set up JMeter certificate, follow steps from this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/54198897/5938853
