JMeter 5.6 - ThreadGroups are running endlessly in non-gui mode #6008
Description
Expected behavior
In gui mode, JMeter acts as always.
In non-gui mode JMeter runs all Thread Groups endlessly, when there is no specified Thread lifetime.
JMeter was used to run the number of configured Loops - even without a specified Thread lifetime.
Also there was a Property in the JMX beneath the ThreadGroup
<elementProp name="ThreadGroup.main_controller" elementType="LoopController" guiclass="LoopControlPanel" testclass="LoopController" testname="Loop Controller">
<boolProp name="LoopController.continue_forever">false</boolProp>
<stringProp name="LoopController.loops">1</stringProp>
</elementProp>
Actual behavior
Since JMeter 5.6 the ThreadGroups without a specified Thread lifetime run endlessly.
Also the property in the JMX beneath the ThreadGroup is missing
<boolProp name="LoopController.continue_forever">false</boolProp>
Steps to reproduce the problem
Open a TestPlan from JMeter 5.5 with JMeter 5.6, save it and review the difference.
Otherwise use this test plan non-stopping-threads-jmeter-5.6.jmx.txt
run in gui mode -> should execute...
.. the setUp Thread Group once
..the Thread Group 4 times
- run in non-gui mode
<path-to-jmeter-5.6>\jmeter.bat -t non-stopping-threads-jmeter-5.6.jmx -l jmeter.log -n - tail the jmeter.log
- see that the setUp Thread Group is not stopping (consecutive printing of 'Should exist only once')
- abort the test execution
