Using JMeter + Maven with https protocol

Question

I have been trying hard to make https request work with JMeter+Maven. Whole Scenarios is - Lauch app URL > login to app (this is https) > on Home page (this is http)

I recorded these tests using HTTP Proxy of JMeter. And then as specified here changed the "HTTP request protocol" of sampler to "https"

Now when I execute the test form Maven I encounter following exception JMeter log -

2010/09/08 16:25:38 ERROR - jmeter.util.JsseSSLManager: Exception occurred java.lang.NullPointerException

One more thing when I execute these tests from JMeter itself then I don't encounter any exception. But invocation of test from with in Maven causes this problem

Have u guys ever been able to execute test successfully on https using JMeter+Maven

Thanks in advance Tarun K

Answer 1

Yes jmeter works with https i am able to get through jemter tests with maven and https, try adding the certificate to cacerts pointed by server.xml using keytool

Answer 2

JMeter group is suggested me to use updated version of "jmeter.jar" instead of the one available from JMeter Maven plugin.... I am going to mark this question as answered and have filed another query in this regard.

Thanks for ur time Black
