'JMeterPluginsCMD.sh not running in Docker container [duplicate]

I have JMeter 5.4 added to a Docker container, based on Alpine 3.12.0. I've added a few plugins, including the ones I have identified for JMeterPluginsCMD.sh. These are;

  • jpgc-cmd-2.2
  • jpgc-synthesis-2.2
  • jpgc-filterresults-2.2

I am running an aggregate report based on a results JTL file.

/opt/jmeter/bin/JMeterPluginsCMD.sh --generate-csv /test/aggregate.csv --input-jtl /test/results.jtl --plugin-type AggregateReport

But I get a Java error (added below for clarity). The equivalent command on my local Windows PC (with the same plugins) works fine;

c:\jmeter-5.4.1\bin\JMeterPluginsCMD.bat --generate-csv c:\temp\ar.csv --input-jtl c:\temp\results.jtl --plugin-type AggregateReport

I can't see what's different, apart from one running on Linux and one on Windows.

Here's the first part of the error, I can add more if it's needed.

ERROR: java.lang.InternalError: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

user7294900, I've no idea how you found that solution but it worked! I traced through the query to find the following;

run apk add --no-cache fontconfig ttf-dejavu

I added that to my dockerfile, and now the pluginsCMD works. Thank you so much, that was truly astounding.
