Not able to run a Taurus performance test on an existing API

Question

After installing Taurus on Win 10 machine and creating a new file for performance testing my API:

perf-test-config.yml

execution:
- concurrency: 100
  ramp-up: 1m
  hold-for: 2m
  scenario: helloworld-api-perf-test

scenarios:
  quick-test:
    requests:
    - https://helloworld-api.cfapps.io

I get following error in log:

Error Log:

Answer 1

As in taurus User Manual scenario in execution should be also under scenarios for example:

execution:
- concurrency: 100
  ramp-up: 1m
  hold-for: 2m
  scenario: helloworld-api-perf-test

scenarios:
  helloworld-api-perf-test:
    requests:
    - https://helloworld-api.cfapps.io

Answer 2

You have only quick-test under "scenarios" dictionary and in "execution" block you're trying to call something named helloworld-api-perf-test

So the options are in:

1. Change scenario: helloworld-api-perf-test to scenario: quick-test
2. Change quick-test: to helloworld-api-perf-test:
