CRITICAL rally [-] Unhandled error: KeyError: 'openstack'

[swogat pradhan]

I am using openstack wallaby in tripleo architecture.
I googled around and found i can use openstack-rally for testing the openstack deployment and will be able to genrate report also.
so i tried installing openstack rally using "yum install openstack-rally", "pip3 install openstack-rally" and finally cloned the git repo and ran "python3 setup.py install" but no matter what i do i am getting the error 'unhandled error : keyerror 'openstack''

(overcloud) [root@hkg2director ~]# rally deployment create --fromenv --name=existing

can someone please help me in fixing this issue or give any suggestion on which tool to use to test the openstack deployment and benchmark.

I've encountered the same issue, I've tested with Rally 3.3.0 and with latest commit e8613ffeb01

I suspect that either 1) my Openstack env variables are somehow wrong, or 2) this functionality is broken in Rally.

I am now using the JSON method instead and it works:

$ rally deployment create --filename foo.json --name foo
