Sending multipart/form-data

I’m attempting to send a rather simple test to a server that requires post requests to be sent as multipart/form-data, however I am receiving an error when attempting to send the request. Error below:

TypeError: post() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given)

The code written is rather simple and I believe it follows all of locust’s requirements, however I am not sure why the error is occurring as my post only has 4 arguments. Code below:

from locust import HttpLocust, TaskSet, task

files = [
        ('front', ('image_front.jpg', open('image_front.jpg', 'rb'), 'image/jpeg')),
        ('back', ('image_back.jpg', open('image_back.jpg', 'rb'), 'image/jpeg'))]

class MyTaskSet(TaskSet):
    @task
    def image(i):
        i.client.post("/tji8setj", files=files)

class MyLocust(HttpLocust):
    task_set = MyTaskSet
    min_wait = 5000
    max_wait = 15000

@bruceadams That seems to have done the trick as far as sending as multi-part is concerned, thanks! However I did notice that the files seem to get corrupted at some point during the request but I’m not sure if that’s a product of how the request is being sent, or if it has something to do with setting an improper boundary. I edited my original post with the boundary I set, but am not sure if it is correct.
