Any way to pass an incrementing variable to each instance of puppeteer? #79

Trying to load test our app, which has a login and disallows multiple instances of the same user being logged in concurrently. Is there any way to pass an incrementing variable to each instance of puppeteer that runs? That could be used to specify a different login for each puppeteer instance trying to login.

Hi, currently, there is no direct communication between puppeteer-loadtest meta info with actual program. However, in your case, it can be addressed independently by using either of the following

time/uuid/https://www.npmjs.com/package/shortid (using the time to specify)
an external counter (a file that stores the latest count so that the second instance can get a different counter)
