HTTPie Benchmarking Infrastructure
This directory includes the benchmarks we use for testing HTTPie's speed and the infrastructure to automate this testing across versions.
Usage
Ensure the following requirements are satisfied:
- Python 3.7+
pyperf
Then, run the extras/profiling/run.py:
$ python extras/profiling/run.py
Without any options, this command will initially create an isolated environment
and install httpie from the latest commit. Then it will create a second
environment with the master of the current repository and run the benchmarks
on both of them. It will compare the results and print it as a markdown table:
| Benchmark | master | this_branch |
|---|---|---|
http --version (startup) |
201 ms | 174 ms: 1.16x faster |
http --offline pie.dev/get (startup) |
200 ms | 174 ms: 1.15x faster |
| Geometric mean | (ref) | 1.10x faster |
If your master branch is not up-to-date, you can get a fresh clone by passing
--fresh option. This way, the benchmark runner will clone the httpie/cli
repo from GitHub and use it as the baseline.
You can customize these branches by passing --local-repo/--target-branch,
and customize the repos by passing --local-repo/--target-repo (can either
take a URL or a path).
If you want to run a third environment with additional dependencies (such as
pyOpenSSL), you can pass --complex.
