-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I am attempting to write a simple load test for my soap web services. I am running the application under twistd and using trial for unit tests. I understand that for a real load test, I would use a tool like ab or http_load in a more scientific environment but I want to get a quick feel for how well a twisted application stands up against low levels of load on my dev box and I feel that there is merit in setting a baseline level of performance in a unit test. I am running into problems with the following: class SOAPTestCase(BaseTestCase): url = 'http://localhost:8080/' def setUp(self): self.proxy = Proxy(self.url) def testMutipleAPCs(self): """Assert that multiple APCs succeed""" deferred = defer.Deferred() for i in range(100): d = self.testAPCTimeout() d.chainDeferred(deferred) return deferred def testAPCTimeout(self): deferred = self.proxy.callRemote('processApc', 0, self._getRandomString()) deferred.addBoth(self.APCTimeout) return deferred def APCTimeout(self, result): requestIdForApc, requestDataForApc, errorFlag, result = result self.assertEqual(result, res) self.assertTrue(isinstance(requestIdForApc, str)) self.assertEqual(id, requestIdForApc) self.assertTrue(isinstance(requestDataForApc, str)) self.assertEqual(data, requestDataForApc) self.assertTrue(isinstance(errorFlag, str)) self.assertEqual(cp.cp_base.getErrorFlag(cp.cp_base.APC, err), errorFlag) For a start, I get a lot of 'reactor left in unclean state' warnings. This number of twisted.internet.tcp.Client instances that this reports on is never usually all of them: twisted.trial.util.DirtyReactorError: THIS WILL BECOME AN ERROR SOON! reactor left in unclean state, the following Selectables were left over: <<class 'twisted.internet.tcp.Client'> to ('localhost', 8080) at 1782390> <<class 'twisted.internet.tcp.Client'> to ('localhost', 8080) at 1782150> ... In addition I get pending time calls still pending: twisted.trial.util.PendingTimedCallsError: pendingTimedCalls still pending (consider setting twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall.debug = True): <DelayedCall 24636392 [24.8269200325s] called=0 cancelled=0 Client.failIfNotConnected(TimeoutError('',))> ... Does any twisted genius have any idea what I am doing wrong?
