Unable to specify "jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.property.output_dir"

Java: 8 Maven: 3.2.5 JMeter-Maven-Plugin: 2.7.0

I have tried to specify the report folder in a couple of ways but it doesn’t override the -o command. Basically I want to generate the report folder without the timestamp.

• created a new user.properties file specifying jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.property.output_dir
• added jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.property.output_dir to propertiesJmeter

You understood correctly, we need this intermediate directory to support multiple JMX files scenario.

So in summary, it works since 2.8.2 .

Thanks for your feedback.

This is fixed in last released version of 2.8.2 of the maven plugin. Please confirm it is ok for you.
