How to install chromedriver in the docker file for jmeter

Question

I have deployed jmeter in kubernetes by using

https://github.com/kubernauts/jmeter-kubernetes

But I am facing difficulties when I want to integrate selenium webdriver with jmeter. I am able to install selenium packages within the docker using

RUN cd /jmeter/apache-jmeter-$JMETER_VERSION/ && wget -q -O /tmp/jpgc-webdriver-3.3.zip https://jmeter-plugins.org/files/packages/jpgc-webdriver-3.3.zip && unzip -n /tmp/jpgc-webdriver-3.3.zip && rm /tmp/jpgc-webdriver-3.3.zip

But how to install chromedriver within docker. There is no official documentation for jmeter on this and I am new to jmeter. I really appreciate if anyone would guide me on this.

Answer 1

There is no official documentation for JMeter because JMeter doesn't support Selenium

You should look into official documentation for Chromedriver and Docker

Given you were able to come up with RUN directive to download and unpack WebDriver Sampler plugin you should be able to do the same with the Chromedriver, like:

RUN wget -q -O /tmp/chromedriver.zip https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/87.0.4280.20/chromedriver_linux64.zip && unzip /tmp/chromedriver.zip && rm /tmp/chromedriver.zip && mv chromedriver/tmp

You will also need to change the ENTRYPOINT to set webdriver.chrome.driver JMeter system property like -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/tmp/chromedriver
