A project demonstrating a load test with a Taurus jmx Jmeter project.
Other inspiration here: (https://gettaurus.org/docs/JMeter/)
Taurus requires you install Docker and then optionally Docker Toolbox in order to run the sample tests included in this project.
The sample tests that are included here require that you setup Apache server locally: (https://medium.com/@JohnFoderaro/how-to-set-up-apache-in-macos-sierra-10-12-bca5a5dfffba)
NOTE: If you want to use Blazemeter cloud provisioning, you need to expose your Apache server to the outside world using a port mapping on your router, otherwise you will run tests only on your internal network without cloud provisioning.
If you correctly set your X11 display, and if enable jmeter GUI in .yml, then you will see 3 things open on your local host that are started from this dockerized test: 1. A browser pointing to the test report on blazemeter if you enabled the blazemeter report Taurus plugin. 2. A instance of Jmeter opens. a. Once jmeter GUI starts up, you have to execute the RUN button manually, which is useful for debugging. You must manually kill Jmeter to finish the test.
On a Mac, you can set X display if you want, from these instructions: (https://fredrikaverpil.github.io/2016/07/31/docker-for-mac-and-gui-applications/)
On Windows, you could probably achieve the same thing using XMing X11 display, but I didn't try.
This is what Taurus looks like when it is running.
After running the tests, you'll find other artifacts on your local machine at ./artifacts/ .

If tests fail with exception, try deleting your Taurus docker image and re-download it, to get the latest image.
