Locust.io test never stops when using taurus

[Marvin Dean]

Running a locust.io test in Taurus will never quit on it's own making it impossible to run in jenkins builds.

I always have to abort the build to get it to stop even if I set and override with the duration.  NOTE:  All my requests below are failing but that is unrelated.  Happens also if they are passing 100% too.

Hi.

Unfortunately, locust doesn't support 'hold-for' or similar options to limit test execution time. You can use 'iterations' option to specify limit the number of requests.

Thanks,  Sorry I somehow missed that in the documentation.  Iterations is a good workaround.
