title: Jmeter: org.apache.jmeter.report.core.SampleException: Could not locate input sample files
body: <p>I'm trying to run jmeter load testing scripts using CLI using the following command:</p>
  
  <p><strong>jmeter -n -t {PATH TO JMETER SCRIPT(JMX)} -l {PATH TO JTL FILE} -e -o {PATH OF FOLDER WHERE YOU WISH TO SAVE REPORT DASHBOARD}</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>H:\Apache Jmeter 5.0\bin>jmeter -n -t C:\stressTest\Master-Script.jmx -l C:\stressTest\Results\Result-${currentTime}.csv -e -o C:\stressTest\Html\${currentTime}</strong></p>
  
  <p>and the scripts runs and generates the csv file as expected, but while generating the html report (web reports dashboard), I get the following output: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Starting the test @ Tue Mar 03 13:01:30 EST 2020 (1583258490364)

  <p>I'm fairly new and I might be missing something here. Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
