Problem with nested dictionary

[imetallica]

Hi guys, I'm trying to do post requests with a nested dictionary, but it does not seem to work. My code:

from locust import HttpLocust, TaskSet, task
import random

class UserBehavior(TaskSet):
  def on_start(self):
    return 0

  @task(2)
  def index(self):
    to_send = {
      "object": "page",
      "entry": [
        {
          "id": random.randint(1, 10000),
          "time": random.randint(1000000, 100000000),
          "messaging": [
            {
              "message": {
                "seq": random.randint(1, 1000),
                "text": "Hello World"
              },
              "recipient": {
                "id": random.randint(1, 10000)
              },
              "sender": {
                "id": random.randint(1, 10000)
              },
              "timestamp": random.randint(1000000, 1000000000)
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
    self.client.post("/api/incoming/facebook", to_send)

class WebsiteUser(HttpLocust):
  task_set = UserBehavior
  min_wait=5000
  max_wait=9000

On my server, I'm only getting:
%{"entry" => "time", "object" => "page"}

Hi! Locust uses python Requests library.

If you're trying to post the dictionary as a JSON blob you could use the json keyword argument in the post() method. Like this:

self.client.post("/api/incoming/facebook", json=to_send)
