JMeter Script Recording Issue - Proxy Working, but No Recording
The current state of my JMeter setup and test plan is:
- JMeter 5
- Certificate Authority generated and imported into Firefox.
- Checked that the port # in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder matches that in the proxy server set up in Firefox.
- Have added a Recording Controller to my Thread Group.
- Have added Cache and Cookie Managers to my Thread Group.
- When I start the proxy server, i.e., Start the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, I can walk the example application I'm testing - including HTTPS requests. (And if the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is not started I get "The proxy server is refusing connections" message from Firefox.)
- I have ensured that the selected Target Controller in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is a recording controller I've added to my Thread Group.
- No Sampler/Requests are being added under the Recording Controller.
Has anyone else encountered a situation in JMeter in which the proxy server seems to be working correctly but no sampler/requests are actually being recorded? And even if this case is novel, do you have any suggestions? Thank-you in advance for your advice.

Thank-you for your excellent suggestions. I started over with a new test plan and was able to record the script required. I was never able to debug the problem with the original script. Just a couple of notes and the excellent suggestions:have now reset log file for debug; I did start the new test plan from the template; my Firefox proxy and crt were generated and installed correctly. I will explore the suggested Chrome extension and Blazemeter. Thank-you all for your informative answers. ALB

You shouldn't create your own Test Script Recorder script, simply because you can make mistakes, just use predefined JMeter's template
Choose Menu: File -> Templates
(Recording is selected) Click Create
Your Recording script is set

<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.proxy" level="debug" />
it will increase log level verbosity for the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Make sure your Firefox is configured to use the proxy for all protocols and there are no exclusions for
localhost,127.0.0.1or your IP address/hostname
- Try clearing your browsing history as it might be the case "stale" certificate is still present or something is cached.
As the last resort be aware of an alternative way of recording a JMeter test using JMeter Chrome Extension - in this case you will not have to worry about proxies and SSL certificates.

Thank-you for the assistance. I don't know what I did wrong / omitted when I was stuck, but I triple checked the certificate was correctly generated, current (not expired - I resent the associated parameter in the jmeter.properties file to have the cert good for 1 year), and correctly installed in Firefox. As I mentioned in my follow-up note, I started over using the recording template and all went well. But I do want to thank everyone for their prompt and informative suggestions.

Thank-you for your excellent suggestions. I started over with a new test plan and was able to record the script required. I was never able to debug the problem with the original script. Just a couple of notes and the excellent suggestions:have now reset log file for debug; I did start the new test plan from the template; my Firefox proxy and crt were generated and installed correctly. I will explore the suggested Chrome extension and Blazemeter. Thank-you all for your informative answers. ALB
