Answer 1

Quick checklist:

1. Are you able to run something "minimal" successfully, i.e.:

   WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart()
   WDS.browser.get('http://example.com')
   WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd()
   

   If the answer is "No" - it may be installation issue, I would recommend reinstalling the Selenium/WebDriver Support plugins bundle via JMeter Plugins Manager:

   

2. Are you able to execute your test using HtmlUnitDriver from Java code (without JMeter)?

   If the answer is "No" - check if the issue is present here: https://sourceforge.net/p/htmlunit/bugs/ and if not - report it.

3. If you can run your test scenario from Java and not able to run it with JMeter - report it to JMeter Plugins forum

The viable workaround for headless Selenium tests execution using JMeter is PhantomJS Driver
