Hung on "end-of-run" when calling JMeter in non-gui mode

[JDizzle777]

When running a JMeter test plan with the Azure Service Bus Sampler from the command line (i.e. non-gui mode), the test runs successfully and then gets to:

Tidying up ...
... end of run

And then just sits there forever.
When trying to run this load test in any kind of CI/CD pipeline, the test needs to reach a point where it exits, otherwise, the pipeline will never continue.

P.S. I am only having this issue with JMeter test plans that have this Azure Service Bus Sampler. All other test plans are exiting correctly.

I reproduced the same problem in my environment.
You can avoid this problem by making the following settings in the jmeter.properties file.

jmeterengine.force.system.exit=true

I will investigate to find the root cause of the problem.
