Set environment variables for run

[Leon Proskurov]

I am creating a load test on AWS SQS service.

The AWS SQS service SDK requires environment variables for the authentication process.

See AWD documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v2/developer-guide/setup-credentials.html

I think this will be a nice feature to be able to add them using RedLine13 GUI

Leon,

We'll discuss this next week and get back to you.

How's everything else going with your load testing?

Hi Leon,

It is a good idea, but we wanted to stay away from storing any credentials if possible. 

However, a while back we did add (but did not publicly document) the custom-dev plugin 

(enable here - https://www.redline13.com/Account/plugins)

It's kind of simple it runs a function your BASH file before the test runs! 

1 - you just have to implement a function 

# Plugin install script.  Download and extracts files.
function plugin_install()
{
	# Get user info
	userHome=$1
	user=$2

        # YOUR CODE HERE
}

Here is an example - https://github.com/redline13/plugin-download/blob/master/plugin_jmeterfiledownload.sh

2 - The BASH file should be accessible to your agent and should be just the file - for example the 'raw' contents of a file on git

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redline13/plugin-download/master/plugin_jmeterfiledownload.sh

You could bake into that your ENV variables and set them 

 

export FOO=THING_TO_SET

3 - Caveats 

If you are going to inject environment variables there might be some 'depends' 

- What type of test are you doing?  JMeter?  then this would be passed in via JVM_ARGS, which we already support

- Custom scripts?  Then there might be better ways to do this.

Also we execute the test under a contained user, so you might want to inject this in the startup script. 

Anyway - that is our current suggestion

if you can share more details about what you are trying to do that would help us further identify a solution. 

If you have private info please email us at in...@redline13.com

Regards

Rich
