Artillery Chance Plugin

 

Makes chance.js available for Artillery loadtest configurations.

This plugin has been built on the excellent work of artillery-plugin-faker

Install

``sh
$ npm install -g artillery-plugin-chance
`

Usage

Add the plugin to your loadtest configuration:

`yaml
config:
plugins:
chance: {}
`

$3

You can change the prefix for your chance variables:

`yaml
config:
plugins:
chance: {
prefix: '^'
}
`

$3

Creating variables in the variables section of your config with the prefix defined by prefix (default ~) will cause chance to be called for each of these variables, each request.

Each item is either a simple string, which represents the chance function to call, or a hash containing a key method which defines the chance funciton. All other items in the hash are passed as a configuration hash to the method.

Note that any conflicting variable names (i.e. without prefix) will overwrite the variables you have alrady defined at the top level.

Then, you can use these variables as you usually would in your scenarios:

`yaml
config:
plugins:
chance: {}
variables:
- ~fullName: 'name'
- ~englishWithMiddle:
method: 'name'
middle: true
nationality: 'en'
scenarios:
- flow:
- get:
url: "/search?q={{ englishWithMiddle }}"
- flow:
- get:
url: "/search?q={{ fullName }}"
`
