Global variables required - independent from scenarios #629

Open tallpaulhunter opened 5 years ago

tallpaulhunter commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to set a variable that persists across all scenarios during a test run, i.e a global variable? As I understand it variables defined in the config section are scenario specific, and are reset to the original values when a new scenario run is initiated. My use case is that I want to request an auth token (once) at the start of a test run and use that token in all scenarios executed subsequently. Currently each scenario involves an auth post request and then the post request I need to analyse. The auth requests are included in the results and so affect returned metrics.

Hi @tallpaulhunter , this PR https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery/pull/625 I worked on will solve this exact issue

Thanks @NivLipetz . I've tried your changes and they work exactly as I require. Hopefully they will be added asap to a general release.
