Steps:

3. Check the result in view result tree

Result:
1. The request shows success but when response body is empty in View Result Tree
2. at the slave I check the jmeter-server.log but there is no errors

Empty reponse

Solution

  • JMeter in distributed mode, by default, doesn't send response data in order to consume less memory and not to effect performance

    Listeners in the test plan send their results back to the client JMeter which writes the results to the specified files By default, samples are sent back synchronously as they are generated. This can affect the maximum throughput of the server test

    If you want to see resoonses, then you need to change mode to Standard

    mode sample sending mode - default is StrippedBatch

    Standard send samples synchronously as soon as they are generated

    Or not Stripped mode, as Batch

    Stripped mode family strips responseData so this means that some Elements that rely on the previous responseData being available will not work.
