Jmeter distribute test on taurus broken with long delay analysis and fail in the end

[fandya...@gmail.com]

Hi all, i want to try to make distribute test using taurus jmeter. But it always fail at the end with long delay on the report graph. Here the fail message:

Here the report graph, for the almost 2 minutes, the graph only move 3 times.

Here is my script, simple test to google.com

execution:
- concurrency: 60
 ramp-up: 1m

 hold-for: 1m
 scenario: google-search
 distributed:
 - slave
 - slave_2
scenarios:
 google-search:
 requests:
 - url: http://google.com
settings:
 artifacts-dir: /artifacts/%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S
modules:
 jmeter:
 path: ~/.bzt/jmeter-taurus/5.1.1/bin/jmeter

For distribute test i am using docker, 1 container as master and 2 container as slave. The master will do remote to the 2 slave. Here the docker-compose file:

version: '3'
services:
 master:
  build:
   context: .
   dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
  tty: true
  volumes:
  - ./:/root/distributed-test
  working_dir: /root/distributed-test

 slave:
  build:
   context: .
   dockerfile: ./DockerfileSlave
  tty: true
  expose:
  - "1099"

 slave_2:
  build:
   context: .
   dockerfile: ./DockerfileSlave
  tty: true
  expose:
  - "1099"

And here the Dockerfile for the image. Dockerfile is DockerfileSlave with extra installed bzt, the other all the same.

For the jmeter setting to distribute testing configuration i refer to this:

https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_distributed_testing_step_by_step.html

Is there any configuration that i miss, please let me know if i need to add something.

Hello Fandy,

I believe you may have omitted some necessary files, that can be crusial in solving you problem. Furthermore, you may have some files or directories on you PC (outside of your Docker container), that make your code work. Likely the problem lies not within Taurus, but Docker and your Dockerfile.

BR,
Alla

Hello Alla,

Thanks for the reply, after one day grinding to find the problem, i found that Taurus have no problem with that, but my internet connection is the main reason why the graph is so delay.

Fandy
