This is a k6 extension using the xk6 system.

This project is a k6 extension that can be used to load test Mqtt. Per each connection to Mqtt, many messages can be sent. These messages are an array of strings. There is also a consumer for testing purposes, i.e. to make sure you send the correct data to Mqtt. The consumer is not meant to be used for testing Mqtt under load.
In order to build the source, you should have the latest version of Go (go1.15) installed. I recommend you to have gvm installed.
To build a k6 binary with this extension, first ensure you have the prerequisites:
Then, install xk6 and build your custom k6 binary with the Mqtt extension:
- Install
xk6:
$ go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest- Build the binary: from latest version
$ xk6 build --with github.com/pmalhaire/xk6-mqtt@latest- Build the binary: from source code
git clone github.com/pmalhaire/xk6-mqtt
cd xk6-mqtt
$ xk6 build --with github.com/pmalhaire/xk6-mqtt=.First, you need to have your Mqtt development environment setup.
For example you can use vernemq
docker run -p 1883:1883 -e "DOCKER_VERNEMQ_ACCEPT_EULA=yes" -e DOCKER_VERNEMQ_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS=on --name vernemq -d vernemq/vernemq
The test file does the following.
Creates per VU (concurrent clients) :
- one topic
- one subscribe connection (done at first iteration)
- one publish connection (done at first iteration)
Per iteration : Subscribe to topic Publish to topic Read and check message result
You can run the test using the following command:
./k6 run --vus 50 --duration 1m test.jsAnd here's the test result output:
