Locust script for testing oTree apps

Attention:

This code will work with the most recent version of oTree. For older ones, a slightly different approach is needed. DM me.

Installation:

1. Install locust: pip install locust

2. Run locust in a folder where the locustfile.py is located.

3. In browser go to http://localhost:8089

4. The front page should look like that:

5. Open your oTree app and create a session with browser bots activated:

6. Copy the Session-wide link and paste to Locust. Provide number of users (corresponding to number of users in a session you created), and the speed of hatching (how quckly they join the game.)

7. Observe how they start playing and the response times, and if there are any failures there.
