Issues building JMeter Source (AzureDevOps) via Gradle (security errors & missing/up-to-date JARs under /lib) locally #6713
Description
Activity
This issue breaks down into two distinct problems:
Problem 1: Security/verification errors (the build-blocking one)
Root cause: Gradle's dependency verification requires PGP signatures to be checked against a local keyring. The AutoStyle 4.0.1 key was missing from
gradle/verification-keyring.keys, so when Azure DevOps agents can't reach external key servers (common behind corporate firewalls), the build fails immediately at:build-logic:build-parameters:compileJava.Fix: this issue is fixed with PR #6740 which has already been merged upstream. The reporter should either:
- Pull the latest
mainbranch from apache/jmeter — the fix is already there. - Or cherry-pick the single commit from PR Add AutoStyle key to dependency verification keyring #6740 into their fork.
Problem 2: Missing/stale JARs under
/libRoot cause: This is expected behavior — JMeter's source repo does not ship pre-built JARs in
/lib. They are produced by the Gradle build (./gradlew :src:dist:assemble). If the build fails early (due to Problem 1),/libwill be empty or stale.Fix: Once Problem 1 is resolved, run:
./gradlew --quiet :src:dist:assembleThis produces a full distribution (including all JARs under
build/) that can be used to run JMeter.
@pmouawad I believe this issue can be closed based on the analysis above.

Expected behavior
Hi Team,
I am trying to build and use a customized JMeter (internally named JMeterCore) sourced from Git and hosted in our Azure DevOps repository. The goal is to generate a working JMeter distribution/latest Jar files (with updated dependencies in /lib) to run load tests.
However, I am encountering security-related errors and dependency issues during the Gradle build, and I’m not sure if this is the correct or recommended approach for maintaining a custom JMeter build. Any other different approach to build locally other than Gradle.bat?
Note: Refer to the attachment for security errors while building using Gradle bat file.
