title: running selenium tests via jmeter on blazemeter remotely
body: <p>We have a jmeter test that launches selenium scripts using the <a href="https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/ChromeDriverConfig/?utm_source=jmeter&amp;utm_medium=helplink&amp;utm_campaign=ChromeDriverConfig" rel="nofollow noreferrer">chrome driver config plugin</a>  which runs with the <a href="https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/WebDriverSampler/?utm_source=jmeter&amp;utm_medium=helplink&amp;utm_campaign=WebDriverSampler" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Web Driver Sampler</a>, with which we are uploading our own chrome driver. The driver wont be allowed to work though, we keep getting</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver is not executable: /tmp/artifacts/chromedriver
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>we need a way to chmod +x the driver or something similar. is there a way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Blazemeter support said </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>JMeter's Webdriver plugin has been deprecated and is not supported on BlazeMeter</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but I don't see anything deprecating the webdriver plugin from jmeter The repo and main website seem updated and active.</p>

  <p>TL/DR: Can we run a selenium test from within a jmeter test using a <code>&lt;com.googlecode.jmeter.plugins.webdriver.sampler.WebDriverSampler</code> on blazemeter? what are the steps to do so?</p>
