Please kick the tyres of 3.9.1... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: The Grinder 3.9.1: call for testing Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 17:17:07 +0100 From: Philip Aston &lt;philipa-O5WfVfzUwx8&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; To: 'grinder-dev' &lt;grinder-development-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt;, Ouray Viney &lt;ouray-BbpMSQBCDjY&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; I didn't release 3.9, due to bug 351793 Today I pushed The Grinder 3.9.1 to Nexus: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/netsfgrinder-322/net/sf/grinder/grinder/3.9.1/grinder-3.9.1-binary.zip 3.9.1 Fixes: Fix bug 3517593 - Recording Jython script with 3.9 produced an invalid script. Thanks to greghmerrill and John Felten for the beta testing and report. Fix bug 3525156 - Better exception handling of invalid header arrays passed to HTTPRequest. Thanks to Ouray Viney for the report. Fix bug 3521073 - CLOSE_WAIT sockets on agent kill. Dead connections should now be cleaned up after 30 seconds. Thanks to Tumri for the report. 3.9 Fixes: Fix bug 3511553 - TCP proxy recorded scripts do not extract headers correctly, leaving a syntactically incorrect script. Fix bug 3511035 - 3.8 bundles additional, older version of xmlbeans. Fix bug 3511536 - Generated Clojure script uses logger API incorrectly. Thanks to Chris Bolton for the report. I also disabled the "offline debug" macros by default. Fix bug 3512095 - proxy-generated XML gives each attribute a new namespace. Thanks to Bill Smith for the report. I'm particularly keen to release the fix for 3511553, which covers the broken script recording in The Grinder 3.8. I'd be grateful if a few of you could do some pre-release user testing, focussing in particular on script recording.

When the timer expires, the worker threads are interrupted in a similar manner to a "stop processes" command from the console. A worker thread will detect the interrupt and exit the next time it starts a Test or calls grinder.sleep(). The worker process will wait for up to 10 seconds for all worker threads to exit, and then terminate anyway. - Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

When is grinder.duration enforced? Or how often is it checked? For instance, is it monitored continuously such that a worker could abort mid script? Or are scripts always run to completion and grinder.duration only checked between runs?

I could not find them with a search on the website documentation. Is there a way to pass a different defaults file to the console (other than ~/.grinder_console) ? I would like to run the console as part of an automated test process and I would like to preserve any settings the current user might already have in his/her ~/.console_grinder file, if any. How does the headless mode work ? How do I send console commands in this mode ? Is there some documentation for that ?

There's no support for pure Java test scripts. You'll need a top level Jython or Clojure script. From that script, you can call your Java code; and the Java code can access the ScriptContext services, including instrumentation (if you're using the new instrumentation engine: http://grinder.sourceforge.net/g3/instrumentation.html#new-instrumentation).

This is all to avoid me becoming a "button punching monkey" (tm) - running manual Load Runner tests every time some developer wants to try something new. Everything is going quite nicely, with a lot of C cruft being consumed by a caffeinated Python (sorry, it is late on a Saturday, and I couldn't resist). However, there is one feature in Load Runner that I don't know how to reproduce in Grinder, namely composite transactions. It seems that there is reference in the Grinder lists and API to composite Tests, but no sample code. Does anyone have a sample of code on how to wrap N Test wrapped HTTPRequest objects into a composite Test? Is it as simple as moving the N Test wrapped HTTPRequest objects into a method, and then wrapping that method?

Previously, TCPProxy would add the required basic authentication code to each request, now, nothing? I was forced to manually enter it for each request, which is quite a bugger and time sapper. *Question*: Is there a way to globally set the basic authentication that all requests should inherit? I will log a bug when time permits, also once I have verified my recording steps aren't flawed. </pre> Ouray Viney 2012-05-02T16:00:20 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.grinder.user/8481 <pre>I will think about it and try to come up with some ideas.

Grinder.grinder and all related static fields seem to be uninitialized when using the API.
