Document jmeter.reportgenerator.outputdir property

[mcgitty]

Description

This property is noted in jmeter.log and proven to be correct when referenced in test plan as ${__P(jmeter.reportgenerator.outputdir,)}. However, it not documented here and is unclear whether property "jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.property.output_dir" was incorrectly named.

Judging by the code, they both should work:

jmeter/src/core/src/main/java/org/apache/jmeter/report/dashboard/HtmlTemplateExporter.java

Lines 319 to 325 in 12aefb0

	// Get output directory property value
	File outputDir = getPropertyFromConfig(exportCfg, OUTPUT_DIR,
	new File(JMeterUtils.getJMeterBinDir(), OUTPUT_DIR_NAME_DEFAULT), File.class);
	String globallyDefinedOutputDir = JMeterUtils.getProperty(JMeter.JMETER_REPORT_OUTPUT_DIR_PROPERTY);
	if(!StringUtils.isEmpty(globallyDefinedOutputDir)) {
	outputDir = new File(globallyDefinedOutputDir);
	}

jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.property.output_dir is a property for HTML reporter, while jmeter.reportgenerator.outputdir is a global default for all reporters.

The first issue, should "jmeter.reportgenerator.outputdir" be documented here?

I think it should. However, I am not sure what sould be the documentation so it is right and non-confusing
