Locust web interface not starting on Windows

[Anup-Deo21]

i am running locust on windows 8.

E:\Downloads\Python\Python programs>locust -f test3.py
[2016-06-22 12:06:08,187] Anup_Deo/INFO/locust.main: Starting web monitor at *:8089
[2016-06-22 12:06:08,187] Anup_Deo/INFO/locust.main: Starting Locust 0.7.5

...And then it never proceeds further. below is my python code for test3.py file

# test3.py

from locust import HttpLocust, TaskSet, task

class UserBehavior(TaskSet):
    def on_start(self):
        # Set any required HTTP Headers
        self.client.headers['Accept-Language'] = "en-US,en;q=0.8"

        # on_start is called when a Locust start before any task is scheduled 
        self.login()

        # POST some form data
    def login(self):
        self.client.post("/consumer-portal/", 
        {"username":"[email protected]", "password":"Cheenu6622##","kaptcha":"aaaaaa","termsAndConditionsAccepted1":"true"})

    # Run this task with weighting 2 (twice as much as the one below)
    @task(2)
    def index(self):    
        # GET the home page
        self.client.get("/consumer-portal/")

    @task(1)
    def history(self):
        # GET the Consumer history page
        self.client.get("/consumer-portal/consumer-history/")

class WebsiteUser(HttpLocust):
    # What task class are we running?  (the one above!)
    task_set = UserBehavior

    # What's the minimum wait time between requests?
    min_wait=5000

    #And the maximum
    max_wait=9000

    # What is our base host for testing (prepended to GETs/POSTs above)?
    host="http://192.168.2.25:7077"

Did you try to access http://127.0.0.1:8089?

If so, maybe it could be the Windows firewall that is blocking python from listening on ports?

What happens if you run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8089? Can you access http://127.0.0.1:8089 then?

thanks heyman.... after accessing http://127.0.0.1:8089 it is showing Locust web interface as

but while executing it is showing following error:
SSLError(SSLError(SSLError(1, u'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)'),),)

I tried to disable HTTP verification by adding following line in my code

import ssl
try:
_create_unverified_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
except AttributeError:
# Legacy Python that doesn't verify HTTPS certificates by default
pass
else:
# Handle target environment that doesn't support HTTPS verification
ssl._create_default_https_context = _create_unverified_https_context

but the error is still existing..

Running locust with --web-host localhost solved the issue for me. Quite weird.
