Run parameters are not getting picked up in plugin tag.

[blevinson]

I'm trying to dynamically change the test_id so it reflects well in the graph. The tag in the test changes but on in the plugin. How can I get the plugin to pull in the "token" variable.

Test:
config:
target: "https://site.com"
plugins:
publish-metrics:
- type: prometheus
pushgateway: "http://[IP]:9091"
prefix: 'artillery_k8s'
tags:
- "test_id:test-{{ token }}" <-- this won't change
- "type:loadtest"
...

before:
flow:
- log: "Running: test-{{ token }}". <-- this will

Command:
TEST_ID=$(echo $RANDOM | md5sum | head -c 5; echo;)
npx artillery run scenario.yaml --variables "{"token":"$TEST_ID"}"

Please assist as soon as possible

hi @blevinson 👋

Variables set with the --variables flag are only available inside scenario definitions.

Environment variables may be used anywhere in the script and can be accessed through $processEnvironment, e.g. the TEST_ID environment variable is under $processEnvironment.TEST_ID.

Understood, thank you!

Hey, I got an issue that is pretty similar.

I got my testId for influx set to a environment variable to change its value dynamically, the thing is I haven't been able to change it in execution time.

plugins:
publish-metrics:
- type: influxdb-statsd # https://artillery.io/docs/guides/plugins/plugin-publish-metrics.html#InfluxDB-Telegraf
tags: { testId: "{{ $env.SERVICE }}", reporterType: influxdb-statsd}
event:
priority: low
scenarios:

We define one scenario:

• name: "DSLogsRequests"
  flow:
  #- log: "Service: {{ service }} - JSON: {{ json }}"
  • post:
    url: "/data_service"
    beforeRequest: setEnvironmentVariable
    body: "{{ json }}"
    headers:
    content-type: application/json

The {{ json }} is a parameter from a csv where I got the json bodies for the request. The thing is I am testing a single endpoint but it has multiple services I have to test. That's why i need the service field, for grouping results in grafana.

setEnvironmentVariable is a js function that changes the value of the environment variable. However the value of testId dosen't seem to change at all.

{{ service }} ->the csv of the json body also has a field for the service name.

Is there a way to change dynamically the value in execution time?
