Hello I was following this tutorial: https://youtu.be/FDYD2inSSPY?list=PLJ9A48W0kpRKMCzJARCObgJs3SinOewp5
I recreated his steps: First I created two config files:
master.conf
[master conf]
master = true
expect-workers = 1
[runtime settings]
host = https://petstore.octoperf.com
users = 3
spawn-rate = 2
locustfile = petstore.py
run-time = 30s
headless = true
only-summary = true
worker.conf
[worker conf]
worker = true
locustfile = petstore.py
I then proceed to run this two instructions in different terminals:
locust --config=master.conf
and locust --config=worker.conf
The first one didn't create a problem, the second one showed this error:
*/ERROR/locust.main: --run-time should be specified on the master node, and not on worker nodes
But as you can see the --run-time configuration is in the master.conf not in the worker.conf
I search in the locust documentation but I didn't find anything on this particular topic.
Me too.
But...
The solution, I deleted the run-time
setting in the master configuration file. This is my configuration for master:
locust.conf
headless = false
host = https://example.com
users = 10000
spawn-rate = 100
web-port=8001
Then I ran it in the terminal/command prompt with the command accompanied by the run-time for master like this:
master
locust -f mylocust.py --config=locust.conf --master --run-time=60s
and for slave/worker, I just run a simple command without a configuration file:
locust -f - --worker
All goes well, this worked for me:
