Description ateles.belzebuth.hybridus+apache 2015-03-20 10:37:06 UTC 
Hi,

when a test plan is run on a remote JMeter server, the variable TESTSTART.MS is set on the first run, only. Upon further test runs, even with different test plans, it keeps it value and is not updated to the start time of the current run.
This behavior doesn't occur when running the test on the local JMeter instance.

Best regards, @

Just checked the GUI.

It updates TESTSTART.MS (property and variable) for each run.
Comment 2 ateles.belzebuth.hybridus+apache 2015-03-22 01:20:55 UTC 
I run the server under Linux (Debian stable i386) with openjdk-jre, started via the bin/jmeter-server shell script.
The client was run under Windows 7 with Oracle Java 7 started via »bin/jmeter.bat -Jremote_servers=linux-server«
The test plan passes ${TESTSTART.MS} as GET parameter in a HTTP sampler to the tested server. A »View Results Tree« listener shows this parameter as constant over the test runs, if the test is run on the remote JMeter. (Also a Bean shell script sees the variable as constant.)
I couldn't verify this behavior with JMeter 2.13, because remote testing failed completely. (But I am not sure, if this is due to a bug or configuration problem.)

Comment 4 ateles.belzebuth.hybridus+apache 2015-03-23 15:53:49 UTC 
I did some additional tests. JMeter-2.13 is also affected by this problem.
Despite by earlier comment, I used Java 6 on all platforms (Oracle Java 6 on Windows 7; java-6-openjdk on Debian stable Linux).
To reporduce the error:
- start apache-jmeter-2.13/bin/jmeter-server
- start apache-jmeter-2.13/bin/jmeter -Jremote_hosts=localhost
- open attached test plan
- click in the menu bar on Run/Remote Start/localhost
- do a second remote run
- open the View Resukts Tree to inspect the requests the HTTP Sampler made
On both remote runs TESTSTART.MS had the same value.
Comment 5 Philippe Mouawad 2015-04-16 20:48:37 UTC 
Issue only affects NON-GUI mode due to the fact that 
JMeterContextService#endTest which resets testStart attribute is only called in GUI mode.
So I confirm bug.
