Request

formatting...

Task calls the request method of a grizzly.users implementation.

This is the most essential task in grizzly, it defines requests that the specified load user is going to execute against the target under test.

Optionally, the MIME type of the response can be set, this has to be done if any of the response steps is going to be used.

Step implementations

• Text with name endpoint

• File with name endpoint

• File with name

• Text with name

Statistics

Executions of this task will be visible in locust request statistics with request type method.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Default
method	RequestMethod	method used for the request, e.g. GET or POST, also includes the direction (to or from)	required
name	str	name of the request, used in locust statistics	required
endpoint	str	endpoint on the load testing target, have different meaning depending on the specified load user	required

Format

endpoint

All pipe arguments will be removed from endpoint before creating the task instance. Depending on the load user, other pipe arguments might be supported.

<endpoint> [| content_type=<content_type>[, timeout=<seconds]]

Name	Type	Description	Default
endpoint	str	endpoint in format that the specified load user understands	required
content_type	TransformerContentType	MIME type of response from endpoint	None
timeout	float	maximum number of seconds that the task is allowed to execute, if it is exceeded TaskTimeOutError will be raised	None (indefinitely)

Specifying MIME/content type as an argument to endpoint is the same as using content type step.

Then put request "test/request.j2.json" with name "test-put" to endpoint "/api/test | content_type=json"

# same as
Then put request "test/request.j2.json" with name "test-put" to endpoint "/api/test"
And set response content type to "application/json"
