Artillery Plugin Faker

Makes faker.js available for Artillery load test configurations.

$ npm install -g artillery-plugin-faker

Usage

Add the plugin to your load test configuration:

config:
  plugins:
    faker:
      locale: en

Options

• locale (default: en) sets the locale of faker.js.

Example

  target: "http://localhost:3000"
  phases:
    - duration: 10
      arrivalRate: 1
  plugins:
    faker:
      locale: en
  variables:
    firstName: "$faker.name.firstName"

scenarios:
  - flow:
      - log: "Making request with query: {{ firstName }}"
      - get:
          url: "/search?q={{ firstName }}"
