This document describes how to install the FunkLoad tool.
With Debian Lenny or Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04, 10.04 ..., you can install the latest snapshot this way
sudo aptitude install python-dev python-setuptools \
python-webunit python-docutils gnuplot
sudo aptitude install tcpwatch-httpproxy --without-recommends
sudo easy_install -f http://funkload.nuxeo.org/snapshots/ -U funkload
To install the latest stable release replace the last line with
sudo easy_install -U funkload
If you want to use the distributed mode (since 1.14.0) you need to install paramiko and virtualenv:
sudo aptitude install python-paramiko, python-virtualenv
That’s all.
Note that Debian Squeeze, includes FunkLoad 0.13.0 package that can be installed this way:
sudo aptitude install python-webunit funkload
Some parts are OS specific:
Under windows there is a trick to install docutils (see below), you may also rename the scripts with a .py extension.
libexpat1
funkload 1.14.0 requires python >= 2.5
python 2.4 is required by the test runner only if you want to launch python doctest, other stuff work fine with a python 2.3.5. python >= 2.5 are supported with funkload > 1.6.0
python distutils
python xml
EasyInstall, either use a package or download ez_setup.py, and run it:
cd /tmp
wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
sudo python ez_setup.py
This will download and install the appropriate setuptools egg for your Python version.
To produce charts with FunkLoad >= 1.9.0: gnuplot 4.2, either use a package or visit the http://www.gnuplot.info/ site.
gnuplot (or wgnuplot for win) must be in the executable path.
The recorder use TCPWatch which is not yet available using easy_install:
cd /tmp
wget http://hathawaymix.org/Software/TCPWatch/tcpwatch-1.3.tar.gz
tar xzvf tcpwatch-1.3.tar.gz
cd tcpwatch
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
Install the latest stable package:
sudo easy_install -U funkload
Install the latest snapshot version:
sudo easy_install -f http://funkload.nuxeo.org/snapshots/ -U funkload
Install the development version
If you want to try the latest unstable sources from git
git clone git://github.com/nuxeo/FunkLoad.git
then:
cd FunkLoad/
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
Get the FunkLoad package from pypi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/funkload/ or a snapshot from: http://funkload.nuxeo.org/snapshots/
Then use the buildout:
tar zxf funkload-1.14.0.tar.gz
cd funkload-1.14.0
python bootstrap.py
bin/buildout
Then your executable are ready on the bin directory.
Transfer all the archives from http://funkload.nuxeo.org/3dparty/ in a directory:
mkdir -p /tmp/fl
cd /tmp/fl
wget -r -l1 -nd http://funkload.nuxeo.org/3dparty/
Transfer the latest FunkLoad package

easy_install tcpwatch*

Install the FunkLoad examples:
fl-install-demo
Go to the demo/xmlrpc folder then:
cd funkload-demo/xmlrpc/
make test
To test benching and report building just:
make bench
See funkload-demo/README for others examples.
got a
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
Install python2.4-dev package.
easy_install complains about conflict:
...
/usr/lib/site-python/docutils
Note: you can attempt this installation again with EasyInstall, and use
either the --delete-conflicting (-D) option or the
--ignore-conflicts-at-my-risk option, to either delete the above files
and directories, or to ignore the conflicts, respectively. Note that if
you ignore the conflicts, the installed package(s) may not work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
error: Installation aborted due to conflicts
If FunkLoad, webunit or docutils were previously installed without using EasyInstall. You need to reinstall the package that raises the conflict with the --delete-conflicting option, see easy_install documentation.
If you still have conflict try to remove FunkLoad from your system:
easy_install -m funkload
rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/funkload*
rm -rf /usr/local/funkload/
rm /usr/local/bin/fl-*
rm /usr/bin/fl-*
then reinstall
easy_install ends with:

Source Forge has changed their donwload page you need to update your setuptools:
sudo easy_install -U setuptools

It looks like sourceforge change their download page again :(
- download manually the docutils tar gz from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/docutils/docutils-0.4.tar.gz?download
- then sudo easy_install /path/to/docutils-0.4.tar.gz
When testing make test return

python: can't open file '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/funkload-1.2.0-py2.4.egg/funkload/credentialctl.py': [Errno 20] Not a directory
Starting with FunkLoad 1.2.0 scripts are installed in /usr/bin, previously they were in /usr/local/bin, you need to remove them:
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/fl-*
While runing a test you got
Traceback (most recent call last):

return open(filename).read(), filename
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'path/to/your/testcase'
This means that your test file can not be loaded as a python module, (may be due to import error) FunkLoad then badly report it as an invalid doc test file.
To view the original error just run the testcase using python instead of fl-run-test (python your_test_case.py).
This is fixed since 1.14.
