JMeter - user.dir

Question

I want to set Home directory for my 'jmx' files to be open when starting JMeter, using property 'user.dir' from the file: 'user.properties', but without any success. My JMeter's version is 5.5. Please, tell me how to set 'Home' directory for 'jmx' files using configuration files.

Answer 1

You're using wrong configuration file, user.dir is a Java System Property hence you need to set it in system.properties file.

JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.
