Performance Testing Corteza with K6

Getting started:

1. Create a .env file based on the .env.example:
   • Set CORTEZA_URL to your Corteza vagrant URL
   • Set AUTH_JWT to the JWT used in Corteza vagrant
2. (Optional) If you want to visualize the tests with graphs:
   • run docker-compose up -d influxdb grafana
   • Open http://localhost:3000
   • Import the /public/grafana_dashboard.json config to a new dashboard.
3. Run a test script:
   • docker-compose run k6 run /tests/<path to script>
   • Example: docker-compose run k6 run /tests/stories/loginAndLoad.js

Troubleshooting

dial tcp 127.0.0.1: connect: connection refused

You used localhost or 127.0.0.1 in your CORTEZA_URL. K6 runs inside docker container and it's localhost is not the same.

On MacOS you can use host.docker.internal instead of localhost or IP Visit https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/docker-tip-65-get-your-docker-hosts-ip-address-from-in-a-container for more info
