status code option

[vanodevium]

Thanks for a great tool!

It would be very useful to be able to specify which status code I want to check.

For example, I check an endpoint that always returns 302, I specify it in the option and the tool isn't "afraid" that it is not 20x.

Something like:

autocannon -c 10 --status 302 https://domain.com/return/redirect

How this would be different from --renderStatusCodes?

[vanodevium]

In fact, there is no difference, except that a basic report on the status code I need will be enough for me, and not a table with all the statuses.

[mcollina]

Thanks for the clarification! Would you like to send a Pull Request to address this issue? Remember to add unit tests.

[vanodevium]

Of course, I'll try. And tests, 100%

@mcollina

I'm sorry, but I couldn't do anything. Most likely, I just lack experience and that's why I couldn't.

The biggest problem is the non2xx calculation that is very difficult for me to change with dynamic codeIndex (it is in the printResult.js file)

non2xx: statusCodes[0] + statusCodes[2] + statusCodes[3] + statusCodes[4],

I really tried but failed.

Hey @vanodevium,

I want to make sure I understood your request. You want each specific statusCode to be shown at the second-to-last line of the output, right?

Do you want to know the exact statusCode that has been captured, or the statusCodes per group?

Example all status codes:

Example grouped status codes:

I think the best one is the grouped status codes. Anyone that wants to know more about that can use the --renderStatusCodes argument

[vanodevium]

@xt-riot

A little bit wrong. Lets me clarify:

I don't need grouping by status so much.
just the ability to tell the autocannon "the status 302 SHOULD be equated to OK" for a specific case (or any other status, 409 for example)

because in specific test case I really try to test some non2xx code

Thanx!

Hey @vanodevium,

Can you provide a test scenario with which I can replicate it myself? Code and/or usage would be super helpful.

I'm asking because if you use autocannon programmatically in a test-suite, there is already a way to achieve what you want.

[vanodevium]

@xt-riot

unfortunately, the is written in very old version of php (also code are only on remote server)

also 1000% there is no tests programmatically, just cli mode

Scenario:

I'm requesting a remote server that should return a 302 code to me.
I want to see in the terminal how many times it successfully returned a 302 (because I want to tell autocannon that 302 is success case for me in my situation), and treat everything else as a failure

[xt-riot]

Hey @vanodevium

Does that look okay to you?

node ./autocannon.js -c 1 -d 2 --renderStatusCodes "http://localhost:3000/test3"

node ./autocannon.js -c 1 -d 2 --renderOnlyStatusCode=404 --renderStatusCodes "http://localhost:3000/test3"

node ./autocannon.js -c 1 -d 2 --renderOnlyStatusCode=200,302 --renderStatusCodes "http://localhost:3000/test3"

Note:
The second-to-last line hasn't changed.

[vanodevium]

@xt-riot Looks awesome! This is enough for all needs.
