Untimely Gremlin death? about gremlins.js

[fzaninotto]

@k3n your logs show 100 gremlins actions, so there is no bug.

By default, gremlins act 100 times, then stop. You can ask for a longer attack:

// 10,000 gremlins actions
gremlins.createHorde().unleash({ nb: 10000 });

Alternatively, if you want an infinite attack, you may implement your own attack strategy.

Hi k3n,

Could you paste the console log in the issue comments? There must be an error somewhere.

[k3n]

I just saw this in the readme (in a different place than I had read yesterday), perhaps this is why?

// gremlins will act randomly, at 10 ms interval, 100 times

Is it only supposed to perform 100 actions regardless of the amount of errors? If that's the case, perhaps it could be mentioned in the "Stopping The Attack" section as well.

Anyways, here's my log if it's still needed:

gremlins.createHorde().unleash();

[rrosenblum]

I was testing out gremlins tonight and ran into the same possible issue of only running for about 5 seconds. I have only seen one or maybe two errors show up at a time. Are the gremlins supposed to run indefinitely until there are 10 errors or only for 100 executions each? Is there a way to set the horde to run indefinitely?

[coreyog]

I can also back up that this seems to only work for 5 seconds regardless of the number of errors that happen.

Thanks for the info! I wasn't sure based on the docs, so glad to see those updated.
