• Replace Falso with Faker.js in fake-data plugin (#3745)

Artillery v2.0.32

What's Changed

New features

Playwright

• Upgrade to Playwright v1.60.0 #3737

Fixes & improvements

Core

• Fix issue where http.timeout was silently capped at 8 seconds for slow origins. Requests against backends that took more than 8 seconds to send the first response byte would fail with ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT regardless of the configured http.timeout value. #3730
• Fix issue where Artillery commands could fail at startup with MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors for @smithy/node-config-provider and @smithy/config-resolver. #3736 #3735

AWS ECS/Fargate

• Fix issue where tests that depend on external npm modules could run with fewer VUs than configured due to undetected worker startup errors. #3739

Artillery Cloud

• Fix regression where errors from trace upload requests were not surfaced in the CLI output. #3734
• Improve reliability of sending metrics and events to Artillery Cloud. #3731

Other improvements & fixes

• Improved dependency detection for tests that use external npm modules. #3728

Dependencies

• Update OpenTelemetry exporter dependencies #3740
• Various dependency upgrades

New features

HTTP engine

• Add support for W3C Trace Context propagation on outgoing HTTP requests. Enable via config.http.distributedTracing (boolean, or object with enabled, sampled, and traceIdPrefix fields). When enabled, Artillery adds a traceparent header to each request so backend traces can be correlated with the originating test. #3708

AWS Fargate

• Add CLI heartbeat mechanism for scenarios where the CLI exits abnormally (e.g. with SIGKILL) and worker tasks continue running . Fargate worker tasks will now self-terminate if the CLI disappears for more than 180 seconds. #3705

Slack plugin

• Add notifyOnFailureOnly option to only send a Slack notification when a test fails. #3714

Playwright

• Upgrade to Playwright v1.59.1 #3719

Fixes & improvements

AWS Lambda

• Fix issue where test data with npm dependencies (for example, TypeScript scenarios that require external packages) could silently skip installation, causing the test to fail later with module-not-found errors. 18255919

Core

• Upgrade the HTTP engine to Got v14.6.6 (from Got v11). #3702 Potentially breaking change if your tests use hooks that access or modify Got internals.

Azure ACI

• Test artifacts in Blob Storage are now retained by default. To automatically remove old artifacts, configure a lifecycle management policy on the storage account. #3722

OpenTelemetry

• Upgrade the OpenTelemetry JS SDK to 2.x. Artillery now emits both the legacy and current semantic attribute names on spans (for example http.url alongside url.full, and http.method alongside http.request.method) so existing dashboards and queries continue to work. #3700

Other improvements & fixes

• Worker images used on AWS Fargate, Lambda and Azure ACI are now based on the official Docker Hardened Node.js image #3717
• Routine dependency upgrades to address CVEs #3723 #3701 #3721 #3704

• Upgrade to Playwright v1.58.1 (#3692)
• Fix: ensure that when running tests on Fargate, the pre-packaged versions of Playwright / Artillery CLI are always used, and not reinstalled as dependencies. This fixes Playwright browser binary mismatch errors under some conditions. (#3693)
