How can I run a neoload test via Gitlab (CICD) without having Neoload Web ?

Hello,

As I don't have neoload web, I miss some parameters :

  • >
  • docker run --rm
    -v "$(pwd)/neoload-project/archive":/neoload-project
    -e SCENARIO_NAME=smoke-test
    -e NEOLOADWEB_TOKEN=<Your Token>
    -e TEST_NAME=CI-smoke
    -e RESERVATION_ID=<ReservationId>
    -e RESERVATION_DURATION=<ReservationDuration>
    -e RESERVATION_WEB_VUS=<ReservationNumberOfWebVUs>
    -e RESERVATION_SAP_VUS=<ReservationNumberOfSapVUs>
    -e CONTROLLER_ZONE_ID=<Your ZoneID>
    -e LG_ZONE_IDS=<ZoneID#1>:<LG count#1>, <ZoneID#2>:<LG count#2>
    neotys/neoload-web-test-launcher:latest

    Can you help me please ?

    Thanks

You may need to have the controller.properties file or the controller-user.properties file within the container as it is expecting a shared licence

As per the container documentation, this container has been deprecated but would still require Neoload Web, you can run the Docker controller container if needed. You would need save the test results before the container is destroyed

In the dockerhub page of the NeoLoad controller you have a section called "Stand-Alone Usage" where you can run a test with that controller without NeoLoad Web. However by default it requires a collaboration project in SVN and an enterprise license.

Still you can override the entrypoint to use all the regular command line options instead of the one required by this image. This way you can useĀ  a local project and mount a volume too to use a local license if needed knowing that the controller will search for a license file under $HOME/.neotys/neoload

This is an example with a local project but a shared license on NTS:

docker run --rm --entrypoint="/home/neoload/neoload/bin/NeoLoadCmd" -v $HOME/foo:/tmp/foo neotys/neoload-controller --project /tmp/foo/ExampleSimple/ExampleSimple.nlp --launch scenario1 --leaseServer nts --nts http://mynts:8000 --nts_login foo:A3gGfqR+nS8X5uoArMLvYw== --leaseLicense 10:1 --noGUI

Hello Nouredine,

Thanks for your message.

I want to run a local test (without Neoload web and without NTS server).

I tried this command:

Test_NEO:
image:
name: /neotys/neoload-controller:7.10.0
entrypoint: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]

stage: Test
script:

  • mkdir $HOME/.neotys
  • mkdir $HOME/.neotys/neoload
  • cd $HOME/.neotys/neoload
  • cp /builds/continuous.deployment/perf-tests/neoload/license.lic /home/neoload/.neotys/neoload/
  • cd /home/neoload/.neotys/neoload
  • ls -a
  • chown neoload:neoload license.lic
  • ls -la
  • |
  • /home/neoload/neoload/bin/NeoLoadCmd \
    -project /builds/continuous.deployment/perf-tests/neoload/API_Missionnement_PieceJointe/API_Missionnement_PieceJointe.nlp \
    -launch Scenario_Juillet_2021 \
    -testResultName aa \
    -report report.pdf \
    -noGUI

    And I have this message:

    API_Missionnement_PieceJointe.nlp file has been found in /builds/continuous.deployment/perf-tests/neoload/API_Missionnement_PieceJointe.
    Logging to /home/neoload/.neotys/neoload/v7.10/logs, as user: neoload

    Can you give me please the right command ?
