In version 2.9, when we entered a negative duration in a test action component, an error was thrown : 2014/10/08 15:32:52 ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: Error while processing sampler 'Action test' : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: timeout value is negative In version 2.10 and further, this error is not thrown anymore. To reproduce, just put a negative value in the component, and observe the log file.
Issue is due to switch from Thread.sleep to TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep which does not behave exactly the same (ignore negative value).
