Check target/jmeter/logs folder, it should have full log file for your test(s), my expectation is that your test relies on a plugin or a third-party .jar file which is missing in the JMeter Classpath, if you need all this stuff like RestAssured and Lombok in your test you need to add them a little bit differently to wit

<configuration>
    <testPlanLibraries>
        <artifact>org.msgpack:msgpack-core:0.7.0-p3</artifact>
        <articact>org.projectlombok:lombok:1.14.8</articact>
        <artifact>com.jayway.restassured:rest-assured:2.3.3</artifact>
    </testPlanLibraries>
    <jmeterExtensions>
        <artifact>kg.apc:jmeter-plugins:pom:1.3.1</artifact>
        <articact>kg.apc:jmeter-plugins-standard:1.4.0</articact>
