LEIN_GATLING_README.md

Gatling is an awesome modern load-testing framework written in Scala with asyncronous actors. It's been designed by the folks at Excilys and had been gaining some attention recently.

There a few ways you can get started with Gatling:

• bundle tarball
• maven plugin or achetype
• Scala build tool

Each of these has it's pros and cons, so I have figured yet another way that is meant to be quite easy.

So to get started all you need is:

• Java 6 (Gatling doesn't support Java 7 as of 1.4.1)
• Leiningen (which is dead-easy to install)

cd ~/projects/my-awesome-app
lein new gatling load-test

Please note that your project doesn't need to be written in Clojure in order to take advantage of Leiningen, which is just a decent interface to maven!

You will find most information on the wiki, although I do find the following most usefull:

• concetp summary
• hands-on demo
• DSL cheat-sheet
• articles and videos

FORKME!

TLDR.md

tl;dr

• if you don't have lein command installed, do it now:

sudo curl https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/preview/bin/lein -o /usr/local/bin/lein
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/lein

• go to your project:

cd ~/projects/example-app/

• instantiate the gatling template into ./load-test:

lein new gatling load-test

• if you do ls -R ./load-test/ you should see this:

load-test/:
conf  data  project.clj  request-bodies  simulations

load-test/conf:
gatling.conf  logback.xml

load-test/data:

load-test/request-bodies:

load-test/simulations:

Start working on our own load-test scenarios!

cd load-test
vim simulations/tryThis.scala
lein run
