Artillery v2.0.0-33

AWS Fargate support

This release adds support for running tests on AWS Fargate. Scale out your load tests horizontally from any of the six supported regions.

artillery run:fargate --count 10 --region us-east-1 my-script.yml

Supported regions:

• us-east-1
• us-west-1
• eu-west-1
• eu-central-1
• ap-south-1
• ap-northeast-1

AWS Fargate is a serverless solution that requires no infrastructure to be managed, and unlike AWS Lambda does not impose a restriction on the duration of your load tests.

Artillery's Playwright integration is fully supported on Fargate, to let you run browser-based load tests at scale with ease.

Playwright support

Playwright support is now built into Artillery. The integration in artillery-engine-playwright is now bundled into the Artillery CLI.

• The version of Playwright used by the integration has been updated to v1.3.4
• Web Vitals tracking has been improved to provide more accurate measurements
• Playwright scenario file may now be loaded via testFunction attribute rather than flowFunction
• flow attribute may now be omitted in Playwright engine scenarios

Other fixes & improvements

• Pass lambdaRoleArn to AWS Lambda engine correctly (#1920)
• Fix issue with returning matched groups from regexp capture (#1922)
• Track & report downloaded data in HTTP tests via http.downloaded_bytes metric
• Environment variables may now be accessed through the special $env variable (the current way of accessing those via $processEnvironment is still supported but will be deprecated in future)
• Dependency updates to address deprecation and security notices
