Users making more request than expected.

• I am using the latest version of Locust
• I am reporting a bug, not asking a question

Description

I have one FastHttpUser with one SequentialTaskSet with 3 tasks (one, two and tres) I want those tasks run only one-time peer user,
meaning if I run the locust script I will expect to have 10 calls for tasks one,two and tres.

The issue is I can see more requests for those tasks, in the image you can see for example for task one I have 42 requests, maybe the control of running only one time is no correct.

Also, my idea is to kill the user after the 3 task are completely done.

Thanks for the help.

Command line

locust -f t.py --processes 1

Hi! Github issues is reserrved for issues/bugs, please ask questions on stackoverflow or on slack. This behaviour is as designed, because by default users run as fast as they can.

To limit the number of task runs you could try using locust-plugins's iteration limiter https://github.com/SvenskaSpel/locust-plugins/blob/master/examples/cmd_line_examples.sh#L10 but it might not be an exact fit for your scenario.
