Gatling project creation

Install initial project with maven archetype

We are going to install the initial project with maven archetype.

First, run the maven command to generate the archetype.

$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=io.gatling.highcharts -DarchetypeArtifactId=gatling-highcharts-maven-archetype

To run this command, you need to install maven in your env.

You need to add groupId and artifactId for your project.

Define value for property 'groupId': coolexplorer.github.io
Define value for property 'artifactId': maven-gatling 
Define value for property 'version' 1.0-SNAPSHOT: : 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT
Define value for property 'package' coolexplorer.github.io: : 

Then, can see the src/test tree and pom.xml for Gatling.

IDE Setting

To run the test on the local environment, I'm going to use Intellij from Jetbrain.

Gatling offer DSL based on the scala, so need to install Java to build the gatling project.

Run the Maven project to get the plugins from the pom.xml file.

Add the gatling command to run the script.

You can increase the usability if you set the framework for your project as Scala.

1. Click the Add Framework Support... menu.

2. Select the scala on the list.

3. Can see the new menu when adding the scala class.
