Does locust support thick-client application? #176

Closed NaliniSake closed 3 weeks ago

NaliniSake commented 3 months ago

I'm trying to start the Excel.exe file with simple python OS operation, below is the code. The Locust starts the file with no issues but do not see any Transaction details(KPIs) in Locust web user interface. How can I capture the KPI/Metrics details in Locust web UI (http://localhost:8089 ). Please help me with request.

class SampleTest(User): @task def launch(self): os.startfile("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE") wait_time = constant(2)

Hi! No, locust does not really support thick-client applications. If your exe/process does finish running after on its own (with no need for interaction) you could create a custom user for processes https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/testing-other-systems.html

But it's an odd use case even then. Locust is made for load testing server applications.

This issue was closed because it has been stalled for 10 days with no activity. This does not necessarily mean that the issue is bad, but it most likely means that nobody is willing to take the time to fix it. If you have found Locust useful, then consider contributing a fix yourself!
