Hi 

How to over-ride jmeter user define variable in Taurus and is there any way to define Loop Count as forever in Taurus.

Please let me know.

Hello.

If you're using plain Taurus config (with no JMX), you can get infinite tests by not specifying `ramp-up`, `hold-for` and `iterations` execution settings.

However, it seems that you use JMX file. In this case, you can set loop count with `modifications` scenario-level section. Here's an example.

---
execution:
- scenario:
    script: script.jmx
    modifications:
      set-prop:
        "Thread Group>ThreadGroup.main_controller>LoopController.continue_forever": "true"  # set loop count to 'Forever'
        "Thread Group>ThreadGroup.scheduler": "false"  # disable scheduler that may limit test duration
        # where 'Thread Group' is the name of a ThreadGroup element in JMeter's test plan

Overriding variables works like that:

---
execution:
- scenario:
    script: script.jmx
    variables:
      varname: varvalue

When executing this configuration, Taurus will add additional 'User Defined Variables` block to JMX script, which will define additional variables (and override existing ones, if they were defined earler).
