Taurus is an automation-friendly framework for
continuous testing. Concord supports executing Taurus tests as a part of any
flow using taurus
task.
To be able to use the task in a Concord flow, it must be added as a dependency:
configuration:
dependencies:
- mvn://com.walmartlabs.concord.plugins:taurus-task:2.5.0
The taurus
task uses a number of input parameters
action
: required, the name of the operation to perform;configs
: required, list of configuration file(s) or configuration objects
consumed by the taurus
tool as input. More details in the
configuration files section;ignoreErrors
: boolean value, if true
any errors that occur during the
execution are ignored and stored in the result variable. Defaults to false
;quiet
: boolean value, if true
only errors and warnings printed to console.
Defaults to false
. Can not be used, if verbose
set to true
;verbose
: boolean value, if true
prints all logging messages to console.
Defaults to false
. Cannot be used if quiet
set to true
proxy
: string value, used for Taurus-based requests.downloadPlugins
: boolean value, defaults to false
and completely offline
work. If true
tries to download JMeter plugins at runtime.The following example performs a run
action with Taurus using the test.yml
configuration file:
flows:
default:
- task: taurus
in:
action: run
configs:
- test.yml
- log: "Taurus output: ${result.stdout}"
The execution status and logs are stored in the result
variable.
The plugin supports mixing and matching configuration files and inline configuration definitions:
configuration:
arguments:
someVar: "someValue"
flows:
default:
- task: taurus
in:
action: run
configs:
- a.yml
- b.yml
- scenarios:
myTest:
variables:
someVar: ${someVar} # example of using a flow variable
The inline configuration definitions will be saved as YAML files in a temporary directly. Taurus automatically merges all input configurations.
Expressions can be used in any input parameter including the inline configuration definitions.
