Load Test Script - Issue Analysis & Resolution

🔴 The Original Issue

Error from JSON report:

TypeError: complete_assessment_flow_for_student() got multiple values for argument 'headless'

Root Cause:

LoadTestBase.execute_test_for_user() calls: test_function(user_id, *args, **kwargs)
We were calling it with: execute_test_for_user(user_id=1, func, student_info, idx, headless=True)
This becomes: func(1, student_info, idx, headless=True)

Original function signature (BROKEN):

def complete_assessment_flow_for_student(
    student_info: Dict,  # ← Expected student_info first, but got user_id=1!
    student_index: int,
    headless: bool = True
)

Python tried to assign:
- student_info = 1 ❌ (wrong type!)
- student_index = student_info ❌ (wrong!)
- headless = idx ❌ (wrong!)
- Then headless=True in kwargs → CONFLICT! ❌

✅ The Fix

New function signature (CORRECT):

def complete_assessment_flow_for_student(
    user_id: int,  # ← Now accepts user_id as first parameter
    student_info: Dict,
    student_index: int,
    headless: bool = True
)

Now when called:

func(1, student_info, idx, headless=True)
Python correctly assigns:
- user_id = 1 ✅
- student_info = student_info ✅
- student_index = idx ✅
- headless = True ✅

✅ Verification Steps Completed

✅ Function signature fixed - Added user_id as first parameter
✅ Validation script created - validate_function_signature.py confirms signature is correct
✅ Input validation added - Validates all inputs before execution
✅ Error handling enhanced - Better error messages and cleanup
✅ Pre-submission validation - Validates students before submitting to thread pool

🧪 How to Verify It Works

Step 1: Validate Signature

cd /home/tech4biz/work/CP_Front_Automation_Test
source venv/bin/activate
python3 tests/load_tests/validate_function_signature.py

Expected: ✅ Function signature is valid!

Step 2: Test with 1 Student (Dry Run)

python3 tests/load_tests/test_generic_load_assessments.py \
    --csv students_with_passwords_2025-12-12T13-19-32.csv \
    --start 0 \
    --end 1 \
    --workers 1 \
    --headless \
    --metrics-interval 1

Expected: Should complete successfully without the TypeError

Step 3: Test with 10 Students

python3 tests/load_tests/test_generic_load_assessments.py \
    --csv students_with_passwords_2025-12-12T13-19-32.csv \
    --start 0 \
    --end 10 \
    --workers 10 \
    --headless \
    --metrics-interval 5

Step 4: Full Load Test (100+ Students)

python3 tests/load_tests/test_generic_load_assessments.py \
    --csv students_with_passwords_2025-12-12T13-19-32.csv \
    --start 0 \
    --end 100 \
    --workers 100 \
    --headless \
    --metrics-interval 10

📋 What Each Student Does

Complete Flow:

Login - Excel password first, fallback to Admin@123
Password Reset - If modal appears (smart detection)
Profile Fill - Complete to 100% if incomplete (smart detection)
Navigate to Assessments - Go to assessments page
Start Assessment - Click first available assessment
Select Domain - Click first unlocked domain
Answer All Questions - Answer all questions in domain (handles all 5 question types)
Submit Assessment - Submit when all questions answered
Feedback - Submit domain feedback if modal appears

🎯 Current Status

✅ Issue Identified: Function signature mismatch
✅ Issue Fixed: Added user_id as first parameter
✅ Validated: Signature validation script confirms fix
⚠️ Not Yet Tested: Need to run actual test to confirm it works end-to-end

🚀 Next Steps

Run validation script (already done - ✅ passed)
Run test with 1 student to verify end-to-end
If successful, scale up to 10, then 100, then 500

🔍 Code Flow Verification

Call Chain:

run_load_test()
  └─> executor.submit(execute_test_for_user, user_id, func, student_info, idx, headless=True)
      └─> execute_test_for_user()
          └─> test_function(user_id, *args, **kwargs)
              └─> complete_assessment_flow_for_student(user_id, student_info, idx, headless=True) ✅

This matches perfectly now!
