Re: [Gatling List] Windows Documentation

[Nicolas Rémond]

You should have Java 6+ installed.

Then, download the zip from here : http://gatling-tool.org/, unzip and launch gatling.bat or recorder.bat in the bin folder.

Cheers

Thanks Nicolas, I had java7 installed. This has now been removed and replaced by Java6. 

What should the GATLING_HOME environment variable be set as? 

At the moment I have it set to either the gatling dir or the java dir. 

Both seem wrong? 

Thanks

The bat script should work as is, without forcing GATLING_HOME.

Its stating at the moment: 

The GATLING_HOME environnement variable points to the wrong directory.

Please set it to the correct folder and try to launch Gatling again.

Press any key to continue . . .

Where did you unzip the bundle? The path mustn't contain spaces, such as the dreaded "Program File".

[Joe Early]

It was unzipped to C:\Users\joe.early\Downloads\gatling-charts-highcharts-1.4.1\bin

Thanks

I can't find a better description for this than Windows WTF?!

• I grabbed a freshly installed Windows 7
• I unzipped
• I launched gatling.bat by double clicking it
• I reproduced your error
• I debugged and saw that the cd command returned C:\Users instead of the directory that contained the script
• I launched cmd manually, cd/moved to the directory, launched gatling.bat and everything ran fine
• Now, I can no longer reproduce, even I launch the script directly.

@Joe could you try this procedure

@Anyone: Any idea about what happens?

Cheers,

Stéphane

I was able to get it going but only on a clean Vm

• I grabbed a freshly installed Windows 7
• I unzipped
• I launched gatling.bat by double clicking it

• Got the expected message for picking a sec. Option 1 or 2. 
• Wa  able to use recoreder.barta s well. 

however on the normal desktop, its still the same, 

I looked in the normal Environment Variables window but could not find GATLING_HOME listed. Where is this set at and I will set it manually  

[Stéphane Landelle]

Could you run the console, browse to the bin directory and launch the bat file manually?

[Joe Early]

I got it running :) 

I removed all things related to Gatling, downloaded a fresh one from the site and ran on the "broken" machine. 

Now getting the normal 

GATLING_HOME is set to "C:\gatling-charts-highcharts-1.4.3"

Choose a simulation number:

     [0] advanced.AdvancedExampleSimulation

     [1] basic.BasicExampleSimulation

both bat files work, recorder starts no problem. 

Now, onto the actual task I wish to perform with this tool. We have a Sliverlight page which hooks into various web services calling various database and one file sever which stores small 15min/1min chucks of video. We need to load test these, anything specific I should be aware off. I was just going to hit the URL directly using the recording and tweak the code if needs be, 

[Stéphane Landelle]

Good news.

I'm not familiar with Silverlight, but I guess the recorder should do most of the job.

You might have to:

• use a feeder is your users don't see the same content: https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Feeders
• use a checksum check for the videos: https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Checks#wiki-checksum
