Unable to create pages using Tough Day test.

[newbieCQ]

1. I have installed AEM 6.1 author instance on RHEL 6 (64 bit).

2. Now trying to create pages using "Tough Day" test but unable to do it. I am running below command to create the pages .

java -Xmx1024m -Dhostname=localhost -Dport=4502 -DcreatePages.toplevels=2 -DcreatePages.sublevels=2 -DcreatePages.subsublevels=2 -DcreatePages.concurrentUsers=3 -DcreatePages.rampup=1 -DcreatePages.thinkt=5 -DcreatePages.activate=true -DcreatePages.delete=true -jar toughday-6.0.jar createPages

The output of the above command is like below

Buildfile: /export/home/cq61/toughday/toughday/build.xml

tests:

createPages.replace.hostnameandport:
     [echo] Update hostname and port in the createPages files
     [copy] Copying 1 file to /export/home/cq61/toughday/toughday/work/createPages

createPages:
   [jmeter] Executing test plan: /export/home/cq61/toughday/toughday/work/createPages/createPages-1.2.jmx ==> /export/home/cq61/toughday/toughday/results/createPages/createPages.jtl

I am unable to see any pages getting created in the Sites. Do I have to provide any additional information to create pages using tough day test?

Thank you,

Simply install default content (out of the box Geometrixx) and prepare your own JMeter tests for those paths. Will work out even better as you would be in total control of your Tough day ;)

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

can you check your error.log, access.log and request.log files. You might be getting an exception which is preventing toughday from working.

In AEM6.1 CSRF functionality was added which may be causing this issue.

Opkar
