Exclude some samplers in JMeter html dashboard report in non gui mode

Question

I have two http request samplers inside a Thread Group.

I would like to ignore the first sampler when I run the tests in non GUI mode (cli).

The main reason is to ignore the first sampler in the generated HTML report.

I still need the Sampler 1 to run under the hood even if I filter when running it in cli mode.

Answer 1

Send in non GUI extra parameter/JMeter property as -JignoreFirstSampler

Add JSR223 PostProcessor as a child of the first Sampler with code to ignore sampler in results:

    if (props.get("ignoreFirstSampler") != null) {
        prev.setIgnore()
    }

Sampler 1 will still executed, but won't be shown in report
