Gatling ExecutorGatling is a load testing tool which is most famous as a choice for the testing of HTTP servers. In Taurus, you have two ways how to run it: Either with a native gatling script, or with the usual Taurus features: requests, iterations, etc. In the latter case, a scala script is generated automatically. We support Gatling versions 3 or higher. Run Gatling Toolexecution: - executor: gatling scenario: sample scenarios: sample: script: tests/gatling/BasicSimulation.scala simulation: tests.gatling.BasicSimulation The simulation option is the canonical class name for the main simulation class. It will be passed as-is to gatling with the -s option. Load ConfigurationTaurus supports the possibility to send the values of the execution options concurrency, iterations, ramp-up hold-for, and throughput to the Gatling test script. Below you can see how you can use these parameters on the Gatling side to set up your test: package tests.gatling import io.gatling.core.Predef._ import io.gatling.http.Predef._ import scala.concurrent.duration._ class BasicSimulation extends Simulation { // parse load profile from Taurus val t_iterations = Integer.getInteger("iterations", 100).toInt val t_concurrency = Integer.getInteger("concurrency", 10).toInt val t_rampUp = Integer.getInteger("ramp-up", 1).toInt val t_holdFor = Integer.getInteger("hold-for", 60).toInt val t_throughput = Integer.getInteger("throughput", 100).toInt val httpConf = http.baseUrl("http://blazedemo.com/") // 'forever' means each thread will execute scenario until // duration limit is reached val loopScenario = scenario("Loop Scenario").forever() { exec(http("index").get("/")) } // if you want to set an iteration limit (instead of using duration limit), // you can use the following scenario val iterationScenario = scenario("Iteration Scenario").repeat(t_iterations) { exec(http("index").get("/")) } val execution = loopScenario .inject(rampUsers(t_concurrency) during t_rampUp) .protocols(httpConf) setUp(execution). throttle(jumpToRps(t_throughput), holdFor(t_holdFor)). maxDuration(t_rampUp + t_holdFor) } Running Complex Gatling Test SuitesIf your Gatling test suite is really huge or has dependencies on other files - you can bundle it in a jar (with the help of sbt or Maven) and then run this jar with Taurus. Just specify it as the script value in the scenario. execution: - executor: gatling scenario: sample scenarios: sample: script: simulations.jar simulation: tests.gatling.BasicSimulation Building Test Script from ConfigIf your scenario doesn't contain the script parameter and contains at least one element of requests, Taurus will build a scala script for the test. This script will be placed in artifact-dir: You can modify it and use it with Gatling later. The following features are supported:
timeout, retrieve-resources, retrieve-resources-regex
Some Asserts can be added to request. An Assert describes templates and an area for search (contains and subject accordingly), regexp, and inverse marks. You can look for a particular response code in the http-code part or for string, and for a regular expression in the body of request. The following yaml example shows the way these features can be used and made ready for the automatic conversion to scala: execution: - executor: gatling iterations: 15 concurrency: 3 ramp-up: 2 hold-for: 10 scenario: complex_sample scenarios: complex_sample: data-sources: # this is a list of data-sources options for Gatling. See more info below. - path: buyouts.csv delimiter: ',' loop: true store-cache: true # cache HTTP responses, true by default retrieve-resources: true # false by default, retrieves all embedded resources from HTML pages retrieve-resources-regex: (.*)boo(.*) # regular expression used to match any resource (white list) default-address: blazedemo.com headers: HEADER_1: VALUE_1 HEADER_2: VALUE_2 requests: - url: / assert: - subject: body # subject for search (defalut: body) regexp: true # whether expression is regular (default: false) not: true # invert condition (default: false) contains: # expression list for assertion (mandatory) - .+sometext.+ body: 'Some Body Data' # can be string or dictionary follow-redirects: false # true by default headers: HEADER_11: VALUE_11 - url: /reserve.php think-time: 2s assert: - contains: - 200 subject: http-code not: true - /purchase.php?username=${username}&email=${email} # usage of variables from the CSV data source - set-variables: # setting variables in runtime var1: val1 var2: val2 See more info about data-sources here. ExtractorsExtractors are the objects that are attached to the request to take a piece of the response and use it in the following requests. The following types of extractors are supported:
To specify extractors in shorthand form, use the following configuration: scenarios: my-req: requests: - url: http://blazedemo.com/ extract-regexp: # dictionary under it has form <var name>: <regular expression> page_title: <title>(\w+)</title> # must have at least one capture group extract-jsonpath: # dictionary under it has form <var name>: <JSONPath expression> varname: $.jsonpath[0].expression - url: http://blazedemo.com/${varname_1}/${page_title} # that's how we use those variables extract-css-jquery: # dictionary under it has form <var name>: <CSS/JQuery selector> extractor1: input[name~=my_input] - url: http://blazedemo.com/${varname}/${extractor1}.xml extract-xpath: title: /html/head/title The full form for extractors is: scenarios: my-req: requests: - url: http://blazedemo.com/ extract-regexp: page_title: regexp: <title>(\w+)</title> # regular expression default: NOT_FOUND # default value to use when regexp not found extract-jsonpath: varname: jsonpath: $.jsonpath[0] # jsonpath expression default: NOT_FOUND # default value to use when jsonpath not found - url: http://blazedemo.com/${varname}/${page_title} extract-css-jquery: extractor2: expression: input[name=JMeter] - url: http://blazedemo.com/${varname}/${extractor2}.xml extract-xpath: destination: xpath: /order/client/address default: NOT_FOUND - url: http://blazedemo.com/${varname}.xml Include Scenario BlocksThe include-scenario block makes it possible to include one scenario in another one. You can use it to split your test plan into several independent scenarios that can be reused. In addition, an include-scenario can refer to another scenario which contains include-scenario on any level of depth. Example: scenarios: login: data-sources: - logins.csv requests: - url: http://example.com/login method: POST body: user: ${username} password: ${password} logout: requests: - url: http://example.com/logout method: POST shop-session: requests: - include-scenario: login - http://example.com/shop/items/1 - http://example.com/checkout - include-scenario: logout execution: - executor: gatling scenario: shop-session scenarios: shop-session: requests: - include-scenario: login - http://example.com/shop/items/1 - http://example.com/checkout - include-scenario: logout included-configs: # it must be a list of string values - ./login.yml Configuration OptionsSimilar to other modules, you can define a global configuration for the Gatling Executor by writing certain lines in the gatling section of the modules setting. The following options are supported:
modules: gatling: properties: gatling.data.file.bufferSize: 512 # output buffer size, 256 bytes by default your_variable: 1024 # user variable You can then read values of properties in Scala code similar to the Load Configuration style: class BasicSimulation extends Simulation { val your_scala_variable = Integer.getInteger("your_variable", 0).toInt } You can also specify properties per scenario, which will be added to the module-level properties: scenarios: my-scenario: properties: propname: value your_variable: 256 # ... External Java Libraries UsageFor gatling 3.8 and newer, the additional-classpath option is no longer supported. As a workaround, copy additional libraries into the user lib folder under `GATLING_HOME/user-files/lib`. For older gatling versions, you can use additional Java classes in your scala code. For that purpose, add the required jar files or the contained dir to the additional-classpath list, like this: execution: - executor: gatling concurrency: 10 hold-for: 1h scenario: example scenarios: example: script: my_file.scala additional-classpath: - deps/gson-1.0.1.jar - deps/common-utils-0.15.1.jar modules: gatling: additional-classpath: - most-important-lib.jar # a global way to specify required libraries |
