I am trying to execute jmeter script from java program but i am getting below error

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "D:\apache-jmeter-5.6\apache-jmeter-5.6\bin\jmeter": CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application

code:-

String jmeterPath = "D:\\apache-jmeter-5.6\\apache-jmeter-5.6\\bin\\jmeter"; 
        String jmeterScript = "D:\\CEBA_Recording\\Create_Complaints\\Create_Complaint_n_Resolve_BOS.jmx"; 
        String[] cmd= {jmeterPath, "-n", "-t", jmeterScript};
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
        process.waitFor();

I have set the path environment variable to jmeter/bin ,JMETER_HOME to jmeter folder but still the issue is not resolved, java version i am using is "11.0.18" 2023-01-17 LTS

Solution

jmeter is a Unix shell script, if you're running JMeter on Windows you should use [jmeter.bat][2] instead

Also it's possible to kick off the test using StandardJMeterEngine JMeter API class, see JMeter Command Line Overview: 5 Ways To Launch a Test article for more details
