artillery-engine-tcp v1.0.0

Artillery.io TCP Plugin

Based on the AWS Lambda Engine by orchestrated.io.

Usage

Important: The plugin requires Artillery 1.5.8-3 or higher.

Install the plugin

# If Artillery is installed globally:
npm install -g artillery-engine-tcp

Use the plugin

1. Set config.target to the host address of the TCP server
2. Specify additional options in config.tcp:
   • port - number (required)
3. Set the engine property of the scenario to tcp.
4. Use send in your scenario to send arbitrary data to the server
5. Specify additional invocation parameters:
   • payload - String or object (gets converted to JSON string) with the payload to send
   • encoding - Payload string encoding. Defaults to utf8. See Buffer.from(string).

Note: The TCP server must respond (with anything) to each send command in order for the request to finish.

  target: "localhost"
  tcp:
    port: 1234
