A Giter8 template for the Gatling performance test project.

The Gatling-template.g8 is a handy tool that allows you to quickly create SBTs for Gatling. The template allows you to create projects for HTTP (default), JDBC, AMQP, and Kafka protocols. The template supports Windows and Unix OS.

sbt new Tinkoff/gatling-template.g8

Confirm your operating system in the os_windows field. Set this field to "y" if you use Windows OS. Default value for Unix OS is "n".

Enter the name of your service in the name field.

Enter your domain in the package field to form the project structure, e.g. when the value of the packaging field is set to "ru.tinkoff.load" the project structure will be ru/tinkoff/load/

Parameters "name" and "package" are required. Leave the default or specify yours.

How to install sbt https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Setup.html.

Use the following parameters to create a template

By default, a project will be created with the ru.tinkoff.load package and the name myservice, for the HTTP protocol, with the specified dependency versions

In Gatling version 3.4.2, the typesafe.config library was updated, where, for security reasons, they removed the loading of all variables from ENV into the config. To override a variable from simulation.conf you need:

1. By setting the JVM property -Dconfig.override_with_env_vars=true;
2. Pass the variable in the CONFIG_FORCE_variablesName format, for example CONFIG_FORCE_intensity=100.

More details here.

At the moment, when working in Windows using SBT version lower than 1.4.1 there is a problem - the temporary .gitignore file is not deleted. This does not affect project creation.
