locust

How can I override flags defined in locust.conf?


Since by default I want to run my Locust tests in headless mode, I defined the following in my locust.conf :

headless = true

However, I would like to override this in the CLI. But something like

locust --headless false

doesn't work.

Is there any way to override such flags using the CLI?


Solution

  • For most flags that approach works fine. But for some reason configargparse has issues with overriding a boolean value to false on command line.

    There is a specific (hidden) parameter in Locust called --headful to work around this particular issue. It overrides any other headless setting.
