Project description
har2locust
Creating a locust file from scratch is sometimes hard. Don't you wish you could just generate it automatically from a browser session?
Well, now you can! har2locust converts your browser recordings (HAR files) into locust files.
Here's an example of a generated file.
At its core har2locust uses a jinja2 template to define the output. You can easily change that to customize your output, or you can go even further and use the plugin system to make any kind of changes to the processing/output.
Installation
pip install har2locust
This will also install locust and locust-plugins, because they are needed to run the generated locustfiles.
Usage
-
Navigate the web with your browser while recording your activity. Then export the recording into a HAR file. Here is an example with Chrome Devs Tools
-
Run
har2locust myharfile.har > locustfile.py
> har2locust --help
usage: har2locust [-h] [-t TEMPLATE] [--plugins PLUGINS] [--resource-types RESOURCE_TYPES]
[--version] [--loglevel LOGLEVEL]
input
positional arguments:
input har input file
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TEMPLATE, --template TEMPLATE
jinja2 template used to generate locustfile. Defaults to locust.jinja2. Will
check current directory/relative paths first and har2locust built-ins second
--plugins PLUGINS Comma separated list of extra python files to source, containing decorated
methods for processing the har file.
--resource-types RESOURCE_TYPES
Commas separated list of resource types to be included in the locustfile.
Supported type are `xhr`, `script`, `stylesheet`, `image`, `font`,
`document`, `other`. Defaults to xhr,document,other.
--version, -V show program's version number and exit
--loglevel LOGLEVEL, -L LOGLEVEL
Example usage: har2locust myrecording.har > locustfile
Parameters can also be set using environment variables or config files (har2locust.conf
or ~/.har2locust.conf) For details, see https://goo.gl/R74nmi
-
Filter your recording using the files
.urlignore
and.headerignore
(read from your current directory). Populate them with regexes to filter any unwanted requests or headers from your recordings. Some headers are always ignored (cookie, content-length and chrome's "fake" headers) Here are some examples: .urlignore, .headerignore -
Use the plugin system for more advanced processing.
-
Edit the file manually as needed.
Notes
har2locust builds upon har2py, modified to generate a locustfile instead of a basic Python file and extended to support plugins.
har2locust is very new, and before 1.0 there may be changes to interfaces without notice. If you encounter an issue, PRs are very welcome.
Also, dont expect that the generated file will always be very useful out of the box. You'll want to add response validations to ensure the quality of your test, and perhaps parametrize dynamic data like usernames.
