jMeter 5.x and Kafka 2.x support.

[santiagomoneta]

Hello, I'm trying to make this work on JMeter 5.2.1 & Kafka 2.4.0I installed using brew on my mac and even when I put the JAR file on the folder "/usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.2.1/libexec/lib/ext" .. When I do right click on the thread group, add -> config element... Pepperbox is missing.

I notice that all screencaps I see are from JMeter 3.... this plugin works with 5.x?

I tried the command mvn clean install -Djmeter.version=5.2.1 -Dkafka.version=2.4.0 but at the end I get this error

Any updates on this? Facing similar issue

Just an update on this. I managed to build it without any parameter. Just mvn clean install and I got it working using Jmeter 5.x and Kafka 2.4.

@rafaeltuelho were you able to compile with Jmeter 5.x and Kafka 2.4 by just adding the versions directly in the pom.xml? Like this:

I get the following output when I run: mvn clean install -Djmeter.version=5.0 -Dkafka.version=2.4.0

@escanoru I just built it as is didn't change the JMeter and Kafka versions... Got the generated JAR as is and dropped it inside my JMeter 5 JMETER_HOME/lib/ext/ dir and voila! Worked fine here. I used it for a simple use case... Not sure if it will work for everything.

try branch "jmeter3.2_kafka10.2" , just change jmeter version 3.2 to 3.1 in pom.xml. I used "mvn clean install " and generating jar successfully for me. I am using Jmeter 5.2.1 and kafka version 2.4.0. and connecting to kafka server successfully.

If you just change the jmeter version inside the pom.xml then the kafka client version will still 1.0..2 not 2.4.0 ,so at the end you can actually connect to the kafka server but it won't be able to use the latest kafka features and fixes from the generated jar as this is has an older version. My knowledge in java is very limited to try to make it to generate the jar with the latest version of jmeter and kafka. Thank you for your help :)

I'm trying to build this with: mvn clean install -Djmeter.version=5.3 -Dkafka.version=2.2.0

Any update / support added for this jmeter & kafka version? The Kafka version I'm using is: kafka_2.11-2.2.0

[raghu64]
