Minimum loadUI install for running from command line?

Hello,

We are trialing using loadUI for automated load testing with TeamCity. This means loadUI needs to be installed on all of our build agents (the machines the tests run on). The main installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\eviware\loadUI-1.5.0) is quite large, at 165 MB.

We'd really like to trim this down to only contain the files necessary for running loadUI tests from the command line. We won't be creating load tests on these test machines and we won't need the user interface - we just need to be able to run tests from the command line.

Can you please let me know what the minimum installation requirements are for this? That is, what files/folders in the loadUI installation directory can we trim out?

Thanks,
Emily

    If the machines that you're running loadUI on have Java (a JRE) installed (test by typing java in a terminal), you can remove the jre folder, saving 86 MiB. As long as you're running loadUI in command line mode, you shouldn't need bundle\loadui-fx-interface-1.5.0.jar either. Removing that file saves you 10 MiB.

    More things that you could probably remove if you really need to slim things down:


    • The .install4j folder is 2 MiB and isn't really needed.

    • All images (png, jpg).

    • samples folder.

    • Maybe (in theory) also bundle\loadui-layout-1.5.0.jar


    Hope this helps!
