Multiple executions single distributed host (Taurus + JMeter)

[Eric Dauenhauer]

I think I know the answer but want to make sure I'm not missing a configuration option.

Goal: Run multiple parallel executions on the same host in distributed mode.

I thought it would be possible since you can run parallel executions on a single machine if you're not using distributed executions. But it seems that distributed executions removes this option.

Config:

    execution:
    - scenario: first-scenario
      distributed:
      - ${host0}
      concurrency: 100
      throughput: 10
      ramp-up: 1m
      hold-for: 1m
    - scenario: second-scenario
      distributed:
      - ${host0}
      concurrency: 100
      throughput: 10
      ramp-up: 1m
      hold-for: 1m

Execution command:

    bzt testplan.yml -o settings.env.host0=my.ip.addr

Error output (for 1 execution log)

    java.lang.IllegalStateException: Engine is busy - please try later

Is there any solution to use the same host for multiple parallel executions?

Hi

1. Doubt it as you use the same slave for two masters
2. It's jmeter questiion but this list for taurus questions only

I disagree that it's a JMeter question because it's not possible to run two distinct parallel executions in JMeter alone, so the question is moot in a JMeter-only context. The question only becomes relevant when using Taurus.

That said, we agree that it's unlikely to work. Thank you for weighing in.
