gatlingjs v0.0.7

What is gatlingjs?

An npm library to run gatling from node.js project by placing the simulation files in your project repository.

Does it have any pre-requisities?

• In order to run Gatling, you need to have a JDK installed. Gatling requires JDK8, still recommend that you use an up-to-date version.
• Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set properly

How should i install this library?

This is meant to be installed as a dev dependency in your project folder
npm i gatlingjs -D

How do I configure my project to add simulation files

At present, gatlingjs needs the following folders in your project root

• test/performance/results => html representation of results
• test/performance/user-files/simulations => .scala files used for simulation
• test/performance/user-files/data => data feed
• test/performance/user-files/bodies => request body related stuff

How do i run it?

./node_modules/gatlingjs/dist/index.js
Behind the scenes, gatlingjs will scan test/performance/user-files/simulations for the simulation files and prompt you to choose the simulation you wanna run.

Is there a sample project?

You can find it at https://github.com/abhiche/gatlingjs-example

By the way, is there any documentation for gatling?

• http://gatling.io/docs/current/advanced_tutorial/#advanced-tutorial

Note:

• You do not need to explicitly download the binaries from gatling.io since gatling is embedded in this library.
• At the moment, this works only on nix platform. Please feel free to contribute to support it on windows too.

TODOs

• Unit tests
• Support command line arguments available in gatling
• Compatibility with Windows Platform
