Loop over payload with count?

[flah00]

I would like each VU to submit a payload multiple times. It would be very nice if I could define a single payload and configure each VU to submit that payload count times.

I have a single json payload. The payload has been converted to a CSV and added to config.payload in artillery.yaml.

I tried to use scenarios.flow.loop, scenarios.flow.over, and scenarios.flow.count. However it seems like count is ignored in this context.

When I define config.phases I am able to create multiple VUs and each of those users will POST the json payload once and exit.

Version info:

2.0.26

Running this command:

artillery run -e local -o report.json artillery.yaml

I expected to see this happen:

I expected a report with 2 requests, eg

$ jq -r '.aggregate.summaries."http.total".count' < report.json
2

Instead, this happened:

Artillery made a single request

$ jq -r '.aggregate.summaries."http.total".count' < report.json
1
