Overriding jmeter.properties

Question

Is it possible to re-read jmeter.properties without closing and restarting JMeter?

Maybe some additional class that calls this process?

Sometimes I need to play with property values, and it is not convenient to restart JMeter every time, so I would like to automate this process.

Answer 1

There is no need to reread the jmeter properties from the file. jmeter has enough built-in functions for reading / setting property values.
At least below:

• jmeter functions : _ setProperty () , _ property () , __P ;
• props - JMeterProperties (class java.util.Properties) - for access from beanshell code;
• Property mapping .
