Artillery runs in 2 Jenkins Jobs

[vichybaby]

In my project, I need run performance test at 2 places

1. In Jenkins CI Pipeline - an informal short-time run in dev environment with low TPS
2. In Jenkins Job with Parameters Input Page - a formal long-time run in performance environment with high TPS

That means I cannot hardcode the 'environment', 'phases.duration', 'phases.arrivalRate' anywhere.

I am wondering if there is a solution: if Jenkins is passing values via Environment Variables, use them; otherwise, use default value

hi @vichybaby 👋

There's a couple of ways you could do it.

1. The name of the environment itself can be a parameter, which can then be provided to the artillery command as an environment variable. For example, if the parameter name is ARTILLERY_ENVIRONMENT the command would then be:

   artillery run --environment $ARTILLERY_ENVIRONMENT my-test.yaml
   

2. The values of a phase can be set dynamically through environment variables too, and referenced in the Artillery script through $processEnvironment variable (docs)

I put together a small example of what it could look like here: https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery-examples/tree/main/script-overrides
