self.locust.drop_current_runner()

[styk-tv]

i use locust for distributing a large test across several thousands of workers. there is a precise number of hits every worker is supposed to make. basically a data list of requests picked up from kafka and distributed to all the workers. after all workers exhaust all the lists i want to be able to start dropping workers. all the way to zero after last message has been sent.

i know many people have asked about this for the past 5 years. i love the framework but this for me is difficult to deal with. is there a way to overwrite continuous behaviour and terminate worker when tasks are completed?

can't you already do this using on_stop() or teardowns?

This project is developed and maintained by volunteers... Asking about a feature for 5 years doesn't magically implement it. Someone has to actually volunteer and write code.
