Run all simulation scripts with maven command

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Gatling version: 3.11.2 (must be up to date)
Gatling flavor: java
Gatling build tool: maven

Hello,
I want run all simulation classes in my project with one maven command, the main goal is to include this maven command in the CI/CD pipeline.

I’m using gatling-maven-plugin, but when i read the documentation I understand that it’s not possible to run all script with this plugin :

The `gatling:test` goal runs in interactive mode and suggests the simulation class to launch unless:
* there’s only one simulation available,
* or the Simulation class is forced with the `-Dgatling.simulationClass=<FullyQualifiedClassName>` Java System Property,
* or the non-interactive mode is forced, in which case the task will fail if there is more than 1 simulation available,
* or it’s in batch mode (`-B` Maven option), in which case the task will fail if there is more than 1 simulation available,
* or the `CI` env var is set to `true`, in which case the task will fail if there is more than 1 simulation available.

The execute goal it’s not exist to run all simulation script.
I use gatling-maven-plugin version 4.9.0

My questions :

  1. how I can run all simulation scripts with a single maven command ?
  2. If this is not possible, how can I group all the scripts to run them from a single maven command or from a java main class (note that the Gatling-build-property class no longer exists)

Thnaks in advance :slight_smile:

From the documentation:

Use mvn gatling:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=test to print the description of all the available configuration options on the test goal.

Then, IMO, this usage doesn’t make much sense:

  • in which order would the different load tests be triggered?
  • what is the expected behavior when one test has failing assertions?
  • how do the application state modifications by a previous simulation impact following ones?

Load tests are not unit tests. They should run in isolation.
