Order in config with --config

[MoeLa]

I have a config.yaml like

config:
  variables:
    repeat: "5"

and a test-script.yaml starts with

config:
  variables:
    repeat: "2"

When I start this with artillery run --config config.yaml test-script.yaml, which value will {{ repeat }} have?

external config takes precedence so it should be 5

Ok, thanks.

In my situation, I'd need it the other way around: I have defined the default value (with lots of other stuff) in config.yaml that I usually want to use, but in one special test, I'd like so use a differing value for {{ repeat }}.

I have a similar need, actually. I think rather than passing a JSON via --variables it'd be great if you could define variables.yaml or some such and pass those in. Helm chart work sort of that way: you define values.yaml and then do helm install --values values.yaml and whatever is in values.yaml overrides what's in your other template. Passing JSON via cli seems like a very odd choice 🤔
