Locust Template

This project contains boiler plate that I can use for starting new Locust projects in the future.

Pre-Requisite

To run this project you need poetry install on your machine. To install run:

brew install pipx

pipx install poetry

Note: Installation via pipx is the reccomended poetry installation path.

Setting Up Local Dependencies

This project currently only runs locally. For packagement, the project uses the Poetry. Poetry is a Python package, venv, and project manager. ONce you have cloned the repo you can install all dependencies by running:

poetry install

You can then enter the venv by running:

poetry shell

Sensitive Credentials

This project uses dotenv for managing sensitive credentials locally. If you look in settings.py you will see that series of sensitive creds are pulled-in via env vars. You can create a .env file in the LoadTests/ dir and populate it with the values you want for those as so:

USERNAME="<Your username>"
PASSWORD="<Your password>"

Launch the WebUI with:

cd LoadTests/
locust WebsiteUser
