Taurus Equiv of Jmeter HTTP Request Defaults

[david...@gmail.com]

Hello Folks, I've been unable to find the answer this on the gettaurus site or google searches. In Jmeter you could add the HTTP Request Defaults configuration controller and set the default server/port as well as params that should be on every request. I'm trying to do that same thing using Taurus.  I have found the default-address option which is global to a scenario, but I'm finding myself repeating that in every scenario, instead I want to set that globally. I have not found anything for params globally, or at the scenario level.

Is this possible to do?

Hello,

All of the following scenario-level settings are applied to all requests inside the scenario: `store-cache`, `store-cookies`, `headers`, `think-time`, `timeout`, `default-address`, `keepalive`, `retrieve-resources`, `content-encoding`. Unfortunately Taurus doesn't provide a way to set these options more globally than per-scenario.

You can probably try to perform this little trick with the `include-scenario` block, though. By using it you can have one scenario that will set the `default-address` and possibly other global options, while keeping actual requests in other scenarios. Here's an example:

```
---
execution:
- executor: jmeter
  hold-for: 1m
  scenario: outer

scenarios:
  outer:
    default-address: http://blazedemo.com
    retrieve-resources: false
    requests:
    - /
    - include-scenario: inner
  inner:
    requests:
    - /reserve.php
```

Of course, this trick won't cover all possible cases, but can still be useful.

Thanks Dimitri the way I'm currently structuring my tests that trick would likely work very well for the default-address, but it doesn't seem like there is a way to do this for body, so I can't use this to ensure a query string param is attached on all requests in the child scenarios it seems?

[Dimitri Pribysh]

No, it isn't possible to do that sort of thing (specify additional request parameter at scenario level). It's a shame, as it seems pretty useful.

We'll think of possible ways to add that feature to scenario syntax.

I'd offer to use JMeter properties for that. Like this

---

scenarios:

  sample:

    default-address: ${__P(def_addr)}

    requests: ...

execution: ...

modules:

  jmeter:

    properties:

      def_addr: http://aaa.bbb

By that, you should have the centralized place to change default address.

Thanks Andrey, that is exactly what I've done. I've used the JMeter Property to take in the host, and thanks to Dimitri's suggestion, I've put that in my "outer" scenario, so I only need to set default-address once, and it reads the system property.

How'd this work if I wanted to share common settings across multiple scenarios, possible in multiple files? Does the include-scenario accept a list, and from other included files?

[Pokhilko, Andrey]

Hi,

You can specify "- include-scenario: abc" multiple times, because it's all list items.
