prevent chrome sad face load testing with PowerBI-Tools-For-Capacities/LoadTestingPowerShellTool

hello everybody.

anybody knows to prevent google chrome sad face in the load test tool?

 

details:

we have premium capacity and struggling with

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerBI-Tools-For-Capacities

now trying to launch 40 simultaneius sessions.

 

the tool works only with googe chrome (hardcoded) and apparantely there is an identified memory leak highiled in the code:

 

//TODO: adjust this value in the JSON file based on the complexity of your report; helps free up clogged browser resources

var sessionRestart = JSON.parse(reportParameters).sessionRestart; //NOTE: added to address hard to identify long-running session memory leakth

we added more memory to the testing machine (20% occupied) but still getting the sad face - probably the problem is not just in the memory leak.

 

anybody knows howto fight the sad face?

thanks in advance

  • Hi there

    In the PowerShell code you can change it to use another browser, you just have to ensure that you can call it via PowerShell.

    What happens if you run 20 sessions on one PC and another 20 on another PC?

      hi, thanks for the ideas.

      >>>In the PowerShell code you can change it to use another browser

      you tried that? perhaps there is a reason microsoft hardcoded google chrome.

      >>>What happens if you run 20 sessions on one PC and another 20 on another PC?

      i tried that for fewer sessions 4+4=8. have you tried?
