Locust is not running

Question

OS: Windows 7
Locust version: 0.11.0

I am exploring the locust tool to see if i can use this tool in my project.
I have created the below file to have hands-on but apparently script is not running.
I am not sure on the reason though.

Can someone help me please?

Locust.py:

from locust import HttpLocust, TaskSet

def login(l):
    l.client.post("/login", {"username":"ellen_key", "password":"education"})

def logout(l):
    l.client.post("/logout", {"username":"ellen_key", "password":"education"})

def index(l):
    l.client.get("/")

def profile(l):
    l.client.get("/profile")

class UserBehavior(TaskSet):
    tasks = {index: 2, profile: 1}

def on_start(self):
    login(self)

def on_stop(self):
    logout(self)

class WebsiteUser(HttpLocust):
    task_set = UserBehavior
    min_wait = 5000
    max_wait = 9000

Output:

Tool kept running as below.

Answer 1

With default arguments, you need to access the web monitor at localhost:8089 in order to see the application.

If you want to run without the web frontend, you need to specify the arguments (clients, runtime, hatchrate, etc) in such a way to replicate what the webclient parameters are.

Answer 2

In Windows, by default the Web-host is listening on IPv6, so while accessing the site using http://0.0.0.0:8089 might yield Error :This site can’t be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

Run the locustby specifying the web-host as the argument. Then the web will be accessible.

locust --web-host 0.0.0.0
