Java client

To use our Java API to start or stop tests onto NeoLoad, use our classes as explained in Create the Java Runtime API client.

First instantiate a RuntimeAPIClient providing a URL and API key.

Then call the method available:

  • GetStatus() to get the current status of NeoLoad,

  • StartTest() to start a test,

  • StopTest() to stop a test,

  • AddVirtualUsers() to add Virtual Users instances,

  • StopVirtualUsers() to stop Virtual Users instances,

  • StartInfrastructures() to start infrastructures,

  • StopInfrastructures() to stop infrastructures,

  • GetInfrastructuresStatus() to get the current status of the infrastructures.

Configure the project

To configure your Java project, it is recommended to use Maven.

Maven projects

In a Java Maven project, you need to add a dependency to the Maven settings file (pom.xml) using the examples below.

Repository:

Copy 
<repositories>
    <repository>
    <id>neotys-public-releases</id>
     <url>http://maven.neotys.com/content/repositories/releases/</url>
           <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
     <snapshots><enabled>false</enabled></snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Dependency:

Copy 
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.neotys.rest</groupId>
        <artifactId>neotys-rest-api-runtime-client-olingo</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.6</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Non-Maven projects

If your project is not developed using Maven, it is necessary to include the JAR files available in the \api folder of the NeoLoad installation directory:

Create the Java Runtime API client

Example 1

In this example,

  • we start a test with the scenario WANImpact Local and then we add Virtual Users to population MyPopulationSmallCities.

  • we override variable "name" with value "value"

import com.neotys.rest.runtime.client.RuntimeAPIClient;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.client.RuntimeAPIClientFactory;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.AddVirtualUsersParams.AddVirtualUsersBuilder;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.ExecutionContext;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.StartTestParams;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.StartTestInfo;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.Status;
public class StartTestExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        final RuntimeAPIClient client;
        try {
            client = RuntimeAPIClientFactory.newClient("http://localhost:7400/Runtime/v1/Service.svc/");
            if (Status.READY.equals(client.getStatus())) {
                // make sure that NeoLoad is ready before running a test
                final StartTestInfo startTestInfo = client.startTest(new StartTestParams.StartTestBuilder("scenario1")
                        .nlweb(true)
                        .build());
                System.out.println(startTestInfo);
                do {
                    // wait that the test is launched
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                } while (Status.TEST_LOADING.equals(client.getStatus()));
                if (Status.TEST_RUNNING.equals(client.getStatus())) {
                    //TODO
                }
            } else {
                System.out.println(client.getStatus());
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Example 2

In this example, we stop Virtual Users in the population MyPopulationSmallCities and then we stop the test itself.

import com.neotys.rest.runtime.client.RuntimeAPIClient;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.client.RuntimeAPIClientFactory;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.Status;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.StopTestParams;
import com.neotys.rest.runtime.model.StopVirtualUsersParams.StopVirtualUsersBuilder;
public class StopTestExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        final RuntimeAPIClient client = RuntimeAPIClientFactory.newClient("http://localhost:7400/Runtime/v1/Service.svc/");
        // make sure a test is running
        if (Status.TEST_RUNNING.equals(client.getStatus())) {
            int stopped = client.stopVirtualUsers(new StopVirtualUsersBuilder("MyPopulationSmallCities", 5).build());
            System.out.println(stopped + " users stopped");
            Thread.sleep(10000);
            client.stopTest(new StopTestParams.StopTestBuilder().forceStop(false).build());
        }
    }
}
