Generation of LocustFile from OpenAPI Specification

[michaeladlbrt]

Prerequisites

• I am using the latest version of Locust
• I am suggesting a new feature, not asking a question

Description

It would be great to be able to generate a valide locust file from a OpenAPI specification

Indeed! Nowadays, LLMs can do this quite well, but there are other tools for generating generic python-requests code. Maybe try this one? https://github.com/openapi-generators/openapi-python-client

If the generated code allows you to inject an HttpSession you can usually do this: https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/testing-other-systems.html

How would you logically go about it? Load testing isnt about coverage of functionality but rathet about discovery of buttle necks.

Marley slaming all of your api entry points isnt going to be particularly useful, instead youd need to create a load model through a fundamental analysis of your system under test.

@eldaduzman, sorry i did not put the intention in my comment.
The intent is not coverage but I have to load text complex api.
I was thinking about the possibility that a locust generator could generate a model that is compatible with the locust http client to ease load testing development
