Bug: The Test Script Recorder (proxy) supports filtering of url patterns before sending the http requests to the Recording Controller. Just to be clear, this part works. However, if we add a View Results Tree element to the Test Script Recorder, the View Results Tree captures all calls and completely ignores the filtering rules.
As a result the calls captured by Recording Controller is in consistent with the View Results Tree of the recorder. This complicates the reconciliation of the captured tests and the recorded result tree. Furthermore, the filter is use to filter out resources (e.g. jpg, css, etc.) which are quite numerous. The test script recorder would be easier to use and more consistent if the Test Script Recorder honors the filter rule when it forwards the result to the View Results Tree. In other words, the Test Scripts Recorder should send the same output to both the Recording Controller and View Results Tree. Fix: ProxyControl.java method: public synchronized void deliverSampler(final HTTPSamplerBase sampler, final TestElement[] subConfigs, final SampleResult result) changes: move line 545 to after 536 (before 537) so that the filter rule applies to the notification. The code of the line to move is: notifySampleListeners(new SampleEvent(result, "WorkBench")); // TODO - is this the correct threadgroup name? I've attached the corrected java file. The fix is based on the v2_10 src tree. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jmeter/tags/v2_10/src/protocol/http/org/apache/jmeter/protocol/http/proxy/ProxyControl.java?revision=1533926&view=markup Thanks, James Liang
