This pull request adds the ability to distribute compiled or uncompiled erlang modules to all nodes. The goal is to significantly simplify the usage of custom code/modules especially in a distributed setup to be used in sessions e.g. via
<setdynvars sourcetype="erlang" callback="my_module:my_function">
.The proposed option to specify modules is the following:
Module type
beam
will be loaded, so they have to be on the controllers load path (see command line option-X
added in #92). Modules of typesource
are compiled viacompile:file(Path, [binary, compressed, return])
. Compilation errors and warnings will be logged, where compilation errors will result in tsung termination.Any module is distributed to all nodes, including remote beams, via
rpc:multicall(Nodes, code, load_binary, [Module, Filename, Binary], ?RPC_TIMEOUT)
so that they are usable right away.
