class stressor.context_stack.RunContext(parent, name, update_attributes=None, copy_data=False)

Bases: object

Basically a dict, holding context variables as key/value pairs.

The ContextStack organizes instances of this class as stack, so we can have a scope-dependant context.

Values may contain $… macros.

parent

The stack frame parent or None if this is the root.

Type:

RunContext

name

A short name for this context. The context manager uses it to concatenate a path string for the current scope.

Type:

str

A dict of attributes that are explicitly defined by this instance.

Type:

dict

all_attributes

The aggregated context, created by overloading the parent’s context with our own attributes

stressor.config_manager module

class stressor.config_manager.ConfigManager(stats_manager)

Bases: object

Define and validate a run-configuration. Also reads and compiles YAML files.

FILE_VERSION = 0

Currently supportted syntax version. (Incremented when incompatible changes are introduced.)

_compile(value, parent=None, parent_key=None, stack=None)

Apply load-time conversions after a config file was read.

• Replace activity definitions with instances of ActvityBase

• Resolve load-time macros (partly by replacing them with activites)

Note: Some makros, especially $(CONTEXT.VAR) are not resolved here, because this needs to be done at run-time.

property config

Shortcut to config_all[“run_config”].

config_all

(dict) The complete parsed YAML file as dict

property context

Shortcut to config_all[“context”].

file_version

Read a YAML file into self.config_all.

Raises:

ConfigurationError –

report_error(msg, level='error', exc=None, stack=None)

Called by activity and macro constructors to signal errors or warnings.

The compiler also calls this when a constructor raises an exception.

Examples:

arg_defs = (
    ("name", str),
    ("amount", float),
    ("options", dict, {}),
)
def order(raw_arg_string):
    kwargs = parse_args_from_str(arg_defs)

class stressor.plugins.base.ActivityBase(config_manager, **activity_args)

Bases: ABC

Common base class for all activities.

New activity plugins can be created by deriving from this class, importing it, and then calling register_activity_plugins().

Names of derived classes should end with ‘…Activity’. Classes which names that begin with an underscore (‘_’) are ignored.

__repr__()

Provide nicer display for pprint(), etc.

__str__()

Return a descriptive string.

_abc_impl = <_abc_data object>

_all_known_args = None

(set) Internal use only!

(tuple|None) List of argument names that will be displayed in path strings

_known_args = None

(set) If defined, the default implementation of compile() will raise an error if other args are passed to the constructor.

_mandatory_args = None

(set) If defined, the default implementation of compile() will raise an error if any of those args is not passed.

_script_name = None

(str) Name by which the actvity can be used in YAML configurations. Defaults to class name without trailing …Activity, e.g. ‘SleepActivity’ is called as activity: Sleep

abstract execute(session, **expanded_args)

Called by the SessionManager, after $(context.var) macros have been resolved if any. A derived class MUST implement this method.

The session manager calls this methods for every activity instance:

1. prepare_execute()

2. get_info()

3. execute()

• Call session.log_warning()

• raise ActivityError() for errors that a user can ignore by –force flag

• Honor session.stop_request

• Honor session.dry_run

Parameters:

• session (SessionManager)

• expanded_args (dict) – current global vars

Raises:

• ActivityError –

• Exception – all other exceptions are considered a fatal error

Returns:

nothing

get_info(info_args=True, expanded_args=None, session=None)

Return a descriptive string (optionally using expanded args).

This method can be called with or without the additional context of the current session and expanded argument macros.

Parameters:

• info_args (tuple|bool) – List of argument names that should be added to display string. True: default to self._info_args (see None by default) False: don’t add arguments None: all arguments

• expanded_args (dict, optional) – optional argment dict (defaults to self.raw_args)

• session (SessionManager, optional) – Running session context

classmethod get_script_name()

prepare_execute(session, expanded_args)

Allow an activity to prepare the next execution.

The session manager calls this for every activity instance, directly before get_info() and execute(). Normally this method does not need to be implemented. (One exception is SleepActivity, that calculates the next random duration per session, so it can be displayed by get_info(…, session).)

exception stressor.plugins.base.ActivityCompileError

Bases: ActivityError

Raised when activity constructor fails.

args

class stressor.plugins.base.MacroBase(**macro_args)

Bases: ABC

Common base class for all load-time script macros of the form $NAME(ARGS).

These macros are applied at load time to the nested dict that was read from a YAML file. Typically they replace the value of that dict element (parent[parent_key]) with new content.

For example

• $load(PATH) replaces the element with a parsed YAML content or the text content of a python file.

• $sleep(DURATION) replaces the element with a SleepActivity definition

Note that context variable expansions of the form $(CONTEXT.VAR.NAME) are not handled by this kind of macro, because this has to be dealt with at run time.

TODO: This means that ARGS cannot be dynamic, so for example $load($(my_file_name)) will not work.

Custom macro plugins can be defined by deriving from this class, importing it, and then calling register_macro_plugins().

This method can be called with or without the additional context of the current session and expanded argument macros.

Parameters:

• info_args (tuple|bool) – List of argument names that should be added to display string. True: default to self._info_args (see None by default) False: don’t add arguments None: all arguments

• expanded_args (dict, optional) – optional argment dict (defaults to self.raw_args)

• session (SessionManager, optional) – Running session context

classmethod get_script_name()

prepare_execute(session, expanded_args)

Allow an activity to prepare the next execution.

The session manager calls this for every activity instance, directly before get_info() and execute(). Normally this method does not need to be implemented. (One exception is SleepActivity, that calculates the next random duration per session, so it can be displayed by get_info(…, session).)

stressor.monitor.server module

class stressor.monitor.server.Handler(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

DIRECTORY = None

_return_json(body, status=HTTPStatus.OK)

do_GET()

Serve a GET request.

log_error(format, *args)

Log an error.

This is called when a request cannot be fulfilled. By default it passes the message on to log_message().

Arguments are the same as for log_message().

XXX This should go to the separate error log.

log_message(format, *args)

Log an arbitrary message.

This is used by all other logging functions. Override it if you have specific logging wishes.

The first argument, FORMAT, is a format string for the message to be logged. If the format string contains any % escapes requiring parameters, they should be specified as subsequent arguments (it’s just like printf!).

The client ip and current date/time are prefixed to every message.

log_request(code='-', size='-')

Log an accepted request.

This is called by send_response().

open_browser()

run()

Method representing the thread’s activity.

You may override this method in a subclass. The standard run() method invokes the callable object passed to the object’s constructor as the target argument, if any, with sequential and keyword arguments taken from the args and kwargs arguments, respectively.
