I really want to start working with "The Grinder" but unfortunately my agent doesn't find the console what ever I try. The message issued by the agent is "(agent): Failed to connect to 'localhost/127.0.0.1:6372', proceeding without the console; set grinder.useConsole=false to disable this warning."

  • Both console and agent are located on local-host.
  • It happens both when I start the agent without a grinder.properties file at all and when I do use grinder.properties file with a default grinder.consoleHost property.
  • It happens even when I set grinder.consoleHost to be my IP.

Any ideas?

Well, stupid as it may sound, don't set the Console Host property in the console itself. To set this property open the console -> File -> Options -> Communication tab. Leave the Console Host empty otherwise the agent won't connect to the console (have no idea why, I thought setting it to be my IP was a good idea).

If you set the console host in the console, you'll also need to set the same value in the grinder.consoleHost key in the grinder.properties file used by the Agents.
