I am on the verge of pulling all my hair out, someone please help me..
I am using JMeter 3.0 and am trying to generate the dashboard report from my jtl files, but I get the error -
result.jtl' does not contain the field names header, ensure the jmeter.save.saveservice.* properties are the same as when the CSV file was created or the file may be read incorrectly
my user.properites file contains -
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv
jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.label=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_message=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.successful=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_name=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.time=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=ms
jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
these values are the same in the jmeter.properties file as well, just to ensure I haven't lost anything...
I really can't work out why I can't get the jtl to include the headers, I have followed every guide I can find, and I seem to be doing it right..
Can someone point to me what I am missing, or include a zipped version of their jmeter with it all working that I can try and point my ant project to?
Hope someone can help.
Double check <jmeter> section of your build.xml file. Default JMeter Ant Task assumes XML out put format for .jtl result files so if you have the following line:
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format" value="xml"/>
just comment it out or delete it and your issue should be resolved.
I don't think JMeter Ant Task respects overrides via user.properties file, it is better to use jmeterproperties attribute or explicitly specify the relevant configuration in the Ant build file like:
<target name="test">
<jmeter
jmeterhome="${jmeter.home}"
testplan ="${testpath}/${test}.jmx"
resultlog="${testpath}/${test}.jtl">
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format" value="csv"/>
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names" value="true"/>
<property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format" value="ms"/>
<!--etc.-->
</jmeter>
</target>
I would also recommend choosing one of jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format properties (either ms or yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss as it might cause problems with the dashboard generation), having duplicate property names with different values is not a very good practice.

I had noticed before you posted, but it is correct, the XML type was hardcoded in the build.xml, now I have changed that, all is working :)
