Run individual tasks at the same time

[diegows]

Hi,
It would be great to have an option to run the same task at the same time. Right now Locust run all the tasks/tasksset at the same time in different greenlets. It would be great to be able to run one task at a time in paralallel. Useful for example if you want to see how every URL perform isolated. To have both options would be great.

I looked at the code and I couldn't find an easy way to hack to do this. If you have ideas, I could help with the code.

Regards,
Diego

Hmm, I'm not sure I can see the usefulness in this. What's the typical use-case (why would I want to see how every URL perform isolated, and even if I would, couldn't I just use Apache Bench for that?)?

But we can reuse the same tool to do all the tests. We'll have one report
with all the URLs tested isolated, other reports with the URLs tested at
the same time randomdly.

And also we could have an option to run a only a specific tasks. We'll have
all our tests cases in one tool and we'll have more options for debugging.

This seems like it's fairly easily solved with multiple locustfiles (one for each url as your case describes). You can just switch with the -f argument.
