Apache JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder not generating samples

jmeter, sample

Solution

Check following fields in Recorder:

URL Patterns to Include

URL Patterns to Exclude

Content-Type Filter : Include, Exclude

If one of them contains wrong pattern or info, sampler will not be generated as JMeter will consider you exclude it.

Also check you don't have errors in jmeter.log

Problem

I am new to JMeter and have been following the steps outlined in usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf. I am using the Recording Controller. I have tried to connect to http://jmeter.apache.org/ per the steps outlined but no samples are generated. I stopped the Proxy and confirmed that i could no longer load pages, so I am confident that I am connecting via the proxy. Why are no samples being generated? I'm not seeing any errors...
