In JMeter property "search_paths" if passed through command-line pathes with dash in them are getting truncated.
This is a known problem with the command-line parser - no properties can contain a minus/dash/hyphen in them - it seems to be taken as the start of a new option. However, there are work-rounds: * define the property in jmeter.properties * define the property as a Java property, i.e. before the -jar I've looked at updating the CLI parser, and unfortunately the software we use is no longer maintained, and there don't seem to be any suitable alternatives with an appropriate licence.
Set of command line parameters of JMeter does not look too complex. It may make sence to process them manually. If you agree with that but do not have time to implement, I can help.
