I have an error in my Jenkins + Selenium integration, the Selenium Grid Version is 3.7.1 (Installed by default for the Jenkins Selenium Plugin). I’m using the last chromedriver version. When I run my test on Jenkins the I get the following errors:

I am wondering if multiple thread groups can be made non-active/sleeping at the same time.
I need multiple thread groups that run infinitely, with alternating intervals times of being all active and being all asleep/non-active. This is to simulate ongoing periods of high and low/no activity. It seems there are only controllers and ‘think time’ objects inside thread groups but not across thread groups.
My test plan is rather simple in structure.

Test plan (parallel execution of all thread groups)

thread group 1 – infinite
thread group 2 – infinite
