Abstracta JMeter DSL throws java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /bin when running inside a docker container

I have created a simple Spring Boot application in java which has a controller that triggers a Performance testing run. It works very well when I run it locally. Now I have dockerized the application and trying to run the same controller. I get this error:

Here is my Dockerfile for reference:

FROM openjdk:17

COPY target/test-performance-api.jar /app/test-performance-api.jar

WORKDIR /app
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "test-performance-api.jar", "--spring.profiles.active=test"]
EXPOSE 8080

I am guessing the JMeter jar is not getting added properly. Appreciate your help in this regard.

I tried building it as a FatJar to ensure that the Apache JMeter is accessible But still the same error.

The two solutions that I think could be:

1. Move away from docker? Althought this is not scalable
2. Or find BlazeMeter or Azure Solution.

I think we already found a solution here

Basically you need to tune your spring-boot-maven-plugin configuration to add requireUnpack for jmeter dependencies.
