Hi Raghav, Great video for learners. Redirect the path of the directory where the Jmeter is located in our system but the jmx file and csv file is located outside of the downloaded(apache-jmeter-5.1) in the jmeter folder . 
1.Create a Jmeter folder in d drive and downloaded jmeter into this folder.
2.Create a test plan as you said in the UI test video and save and run the command as you said in the video.

[ahmedyoussrymahmoud]

hi raghav,
im running my test on non gui and it continues to run without stop. no end of run message it continues to print summary report. could you tell me what i can do to fix this problem

[harshitajain]

Hi Raghav,

I am able to run the jmx file from command prompt and able to save the summary report in CSV file.
Any idea how can I save the request response of the test in CSV file from command prompt directly...??

[nomanashiq]
