In Locust, can I modify the number of users and hatch rate after I start the test?

After I launch Locust without the web UI: $ locust -f locust_files/my_locust_file.py --no-web -c 1000 -r 100

is it possible to change the number of users or hatch rate programmatically during the execution?

Solution

  • No.. that is not possible.. Locust requires the number of virtual users and hatch rate to be defined at test startup.
