Reports: Text Only Report Option

[zanfranceschi]

Hey, Gatling Team!

I'd like to propose a text only report option for the visually impaired – I guess this is a relatively simple feature to implement that would immensely help some folks (and maybe even help in a "terminal oriented" environment).

This idea came from an event that I run in which many participants execute Gatling tests. Some of them are visually impaired and they think it's really hard to read the HTML reports.

Many thanks!

Hello,

Are you suggesting this is something you could contribute ?

I don't know Scala enough to contribute to Gatling code base, but if it could be done with some other lang I'd glad to help! (I know Clojure and Java which run on JVM).

Honestly, Java is close enough to Scala for what's necessary for this piece of code so that you should be perfectly able to contribute to this part of the code. We're not talking about complex pieces like the WebSocket FSM or functional programming.

The entry point is here.

In order to compile, you'll have to install sbt and run sbt compile.

Excellent!
