Answer 1

Thanks to the two solutions/hints above, the reason is that the first item in the list (as you see below), which is the Test Plan itself, was disabled and gray (and usually is not noticed at the first glance).

Just enable it and run your test.

Answer 2

I know the question is old but I went through the same problem and found no solutions. Then I analyzed the source code of JMeter and I leave here the solution for other people who go through it.

In my case when I created a test plan, by default it was disabled.

After I enabled the test plan (right click -> enable) it started working!

Answer 3

Code is: (failed in testTree.getArray()[0])

 HashTree testTree = gui.getTreeModel().getTestPlan();

 JMeter.convertSubTree(testTree);
        if(threadGroupsToRun != null && threadGroupsToRun.length>0) {
            removeThreadGroupsFromHashTree(testTree, threadGroupsToRun);
        }


 testTree.add(testTree.getArray()[0], gui.getMainFrame());

It seems that test plan is empty.

can you check G:\official\JMeter\apache-jmeter-3.1\bin\Cafyne_3.0.jmx

maybe file wasn't copied ok
