Please before you say this has been asked on stack overflow, I have looked at each one of the answers and none of them are working as a solution.

No matter what I do HTTPS websites not working with JMeter recorder.

Using FireFox 63.03
Using JMeter 5.0
Mac OS

Here are my steps: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amEHuq8auTU)

1). Create New Test Plan

2). Added a thread group

3). Added HTTP(S) recorder

4). Using port 8282 (tried 8080 earlier so trying others)

5). redirect automatically, follow redirects checked

6). Select HTTPS test script recorder for target controller

7) Add the HTTPS site (without the https)

8). Click Start

9). Getting prompted that ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt is created

10. Triple checked that all previous ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt are deleted in firefox cert settings

11). Install the new certificate with the two permissions checked (identify websites, identify users)

12). Now when I go to the site that I added in step 7. I get :

jmeter SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG in the browser.

When I check the jmeter logs:

I get:

I have done this a lot of times and have played around with settings. Nothing seems to work. I even switched the url to 'https://yahoo.com' and to another personal site 'https://lawyeranalytix.com' thinking maybe the site I am trying to test has a flawed SSL implementation but it is the same with any SSL enabled site.

Problem with SSL certificate for url for 'www.google.com'? Ensure browser is set to accept the JMeter proxy cert

It appears that you failed to install JMeter's certificate to Firefox.

Try clearing your Firefox history and ensure to delete everything from the beginning of the time - it will include custom certificates. Restart Firefox once done.

Check out the following materials:

• 
  HTTPS recording and certificates chapter of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder user manual chapter


• 
  Recording HTTPS Traffic with JMeter's Proxy Server

Also be aware of the alternative ways of recording a JMeter test:

• 
  JMeter Chrome Extension


• Using Badboy with JMeter
