Gatling during explanation

Question

I´m using Gatling, and I want to repeat a command for an hour so I see there´s one operator during.

The documentation it´s not clear enough

during

.during(duration, counterName, exitASAP) {
  myChain
}
duration can be an Int for a duration in seconds, or a duration expressed like 500 milliseconds.

My question is, during will execute the task in 1 hour duration, or it will repeat the task for an hour.

I know we have repeat operator as well, but that it will require me to know how much time it takes my task to finish and then calc the number of repeats.

Answer 1

The code in the during block will run for the duration of seconds you give.

When the scenario is executed then the iterations in the during block are run until the duration.

Using .during() with amount of seconds. you can constantly increase the users, ramp, split the users but cannot repeat the task
