Not able to run tests on remote host using Jmeter Distributed Testing

Question

I am trying to configure a distributed load testing setup for a browser based testing. Below are the settings used:

Settings Done on Client machine:

1. Made one change in meter-server file in jmeter/bin folder to add the Server host in RMI_HOST_DEF.
2. Chrome version: Version 112.0.5615.50 (Official Build) (64-bit)
3. Chrome driver version: 112.0.5615.28
4. generated rmi keystroke file from the Server machine and keep it in the client machine jmeter/bin folder.

Settings on Server machine :

1. Made changes in jmeter.properties file to add remote host IPs.

Now when we are trying to start the test, Chrome opens up on the client machine and gets closed quickly with the following warning:

"You may need to include a dependency on a specific version of the CDP using something similar to org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-devtools-v86:4.8.0 where the version ("v86") matches the version of the chromium-based browser you're using and the version number of the artifact is the same as Selenium's."

Answer 1

Your question doesn't provide enough details in order to be answered ASAP.

1. Run the test in non-GUI mode on the slave machine (without master) to see if it can be sucessfully executed. If it can run successfully - double check your RMI configuration
2. Check jmeter.log file for any suspicious entries. You might want to increase JMeter logging verbosity for the WebDriver Sampler
3. Check STDOUT/STDERR for any suspicious entries
