Locust Error nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Question

First time caller long time listener :)

I'm running a locust test on a site (or at least trying) but getting 100% failure with the following error

1

from locust import HttpLocust, TaskSet, task, between from locust.events import request_success import logging, contextlib, requests try: from http.client import HTTPConnection # py3 except ImportError: from httplib import HTTPConnection # py2

def debug_requests_on(): '''Switches on logging of the requests module.''' HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1

    logging.basicConfig()
    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
    requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    requests_log.propagate = True

def call_hook(resp, *args, **kwargs): print(f"{resp.url} returned status code of {resp.status_code}")

class RedirectTaskSet(TaskSet):

def on_start(self):
    pass

def on_stop(self):
    pass

@task
def redirect_task(self):
    name = '/voting'
    response =  self.client.get('/voting', allow_redirects=True, name=name)
    print("Response status code:", response.status_code)
    print("Response history:", response.history)

    if not response.ok:
        self.log_failure('Request failed ', name, response)

def log_failure(self, message, name, response):
    pass # add some logging

#@task
#def log_response_codes(self):
#    requests.get('https://thevoice.com.au/voting', hooks={'response': call_hook})

class RedirectLocust(HttpLocust):

task_set = RedirectTaskSet
wait_time = between(0.5,3)
host = "https://www.thevoice.com.au"
#debug_requests_on()

Thanks for adding your test plan. The problem is that thevoice.com.au cannot be resolved (has no DNS entry). It is unrelated to locust. You can try it using curl, ping, or whatever other tool to confirm.

~ curl https://www.thevoice.com.au
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.thevoice.com.au
